CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of December 8, 2016 (this “Agreement”), by and among SMART SAND, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined in this introductory statement having the meaning given it in Article I), and JEFFERIES FINANCE LLC, as Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender, and as administrative agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders.

The Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit in the form of Revolving Loans at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $45,000,000 (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.24). The Borrower has requested the Swingline Lender to extend credit, at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in the form of Swingline Loans, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of the greater of (i) $4,500,000 and (ii) 10.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.24). The Borrower has requested the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $10,000,000, to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower and the Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans are to be used after the Closing Date for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (including for a Specified Transaction and other investments and acquisitions permitted by this Agreement).

The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks are willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, shall mean that such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, bears or bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.

“Acquired Entity” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.04(k).

“Additional Unsecured Debt” shall mean Indebtedness incurred pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 6.01(j).

“Additional Unsecured Debt Documents” shall mean each indenture, purchase agreement, loan agreement, guaranty, note or other agreement, document or instrument entered into in connection with any Additional Unsecured Debt.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 0.00% per annum and (b) the product of (i) the LIBO Rate in effect for such Interest Period and (ii) Statutory Reserves.

“Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory statement to this Agreement.

“Administrative Questionnaire” shall mean an Administrative Questionnaire in the form of Exhibit A, or such other form as may be supplied from time to time by the Administrative Agent.

“Advisors” shall mean legal counsel (including local and foreign counsel), auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers, engineers or other advisors.

“Affiliate” shall mean, when used with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified; provided, however, that, for purposes of the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, the term “Affiliate” shall also include any Person that directly or indirectly owns 10% or more of any class of Equity Interests of the Person specified or that is an officer or director of the Person specified. No Agent or the Lead Arranger or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to be an “Affiliate” of any Loan Parties for purposes of this Agreement.

“Agent Fees” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.05(b).

“Agents” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Article VIII.

“Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure” shall mean the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures.

“Agreement” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory statement hereto.

“Agreement Value” shall mean, in respect of any one or more Hedging Agreements, after taking into account the effect of any legally enforceable netting agreement relating to any such Hedging Agreement, (i) for any date on or after the date such Hedging Agreement has been closed out and termination value(s) determined in accordance therewith, such termination value(s) and (ii) for any date prior to the date referenced in clause (i), the amount(s) determined as the xxxx-to-market value(s) for such Hedging Agreement, as determined based upon one or more mid-market or other readily available quotations provided by any recognized dealer in such Hedging Agreement (which may include a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender).

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Base Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%, and (c) one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00% per annum; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be determined using the Adjusted LIBO Rate as otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate, except that (I) if a given day is a Business Day, such determination shall be made on such day (rather than 2 Business Days prior to the

commencement of an Interest Period) or (II) if a given day is not a Business Day, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such day shall be the rate determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to preceding clause (I) for the most recent Business Day preceding such day. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as the case may be.

“Applicable Margin” shall mean, for any day, with respect to Revolving Loans (i) until delivery of financial statements and a Compliance Certificate for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.04, 2.00%, in the case of ABR Loans, and (B) 3.00%, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) thereafter, from and after each day of delivery of any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), the Applicable Margins for Revolving Loans shall be those set forth below opposite the Leverage Ratio indicated to have been achieved in any certificate delivered in accordance with the following sentence:


Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Loan Applicable Margin			ABR Loan Applicable Margin

Greater than 2.00:1.00		4.00	%		3.00	%

Less than or equal to 2.00:1.00		3.00	%		2.00	%

A change in the Applicable Margins resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective on the second Business Day after which the Borrower delivers each of the Compliance Certificate required by Section 5.04(c); provided that if at any time the Borrower shall have failed to deliver such Compliance Certificate when so required, the Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the table above corresponding to a Leverage Ratio of greater than 2.00:1.00 until such time as the Compliance Certificate is delivered, at which time the Applicable Margins shall be determined as provided above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that (1) the Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the Obligations remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnifications obligations not yet due and owing) and (2) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in different pricing for any period, then (A) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin for such period, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined higher Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest

theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period as a result of the miscalculation of the Leverage Ratio shall be due and payable within five Business Days after the Borrower obtains knowledge (including by way of notification thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) that the Leverage Ratio was inaccurately computed; and (B) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a lower Applicable Margin for such period, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall credit the Borrower for the next interest or fee payment in an amount equal to the amount of interest or fees actually paid minus the amount of interest or fees that should have been paid; provided that if, as a result of any restatement or other event a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any similar reason), then the amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to clause (A) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amount of interest and fees paid for all such periods; provided, further, that if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or (h) then exists, such interest shall be deemed to have been due and payable under clause (A) at the time the interest for such period was required to have been paid on the same basis as if the Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Compliance Certificate (together with all amounts owing as default interest). Upon the payment in full of any accrued additional interest pursuant to this paragraph, any Default or Event of Default that may have arisen solely as a result of the Compliance Certificate miscalculating the Leverage Ratio for purposes of calculating the Applicable Margins (but not for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio under Section 6.11 or any other Section of this Agreement or as a result of any other inaccuracy or misrepresentation set forth in such Compliance Certificate) shall be deemed cured.

“Asset Sale” shall mean the sale, transfer or other disposition (by way of merger, casualty, condemnation or otherwise) by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary of (a) any Equity Interests of any of the Subsidiaries (other than (i) directors’ qualifying shares and (ii) in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary, nominal amounts of shares required by applicable law to be held by local nationals) or (b) any other assets of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following items will be deemed to be an Asset Sale:

(i) the sale, transfer or other disposition of inventory, damaged, obsolete or worn out assets, equipment no longer used or useful in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, Permitted Investments and other assets, in each case sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business;

(ii) the sale or discount without recourse of accounts receivable in connection with the compromise thereof or the assignment of past due accounts receivable for collection and not in connection with any financing arrangement;

(iii) leases of properties in the ordinary course of business;

(iv) dispositions of property to the extent that (A) such property is exchanged for credit against the purchase price of similar replacement property or (B) the proceeds of such Disposition are promptly applied to the purchase price of such replacement property, including to the extent allowable under Section 1031 of the Code, any exchange of like property (excluding any boot thereon), in each case, for use in a Permitted Business;

(v) any surrender or waiver of contract rights or the settlement, release or surrender of contract rights or other litigation claims in the ordinary course of business;

(vi) the unwinding of any Hedging Agreements;

(vii) the abandonment of any Intellectual Property rights of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, which in the reasonable good faith determination of the Borrower are not material to the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole;

(viii) [reserved];

(ix) the licensing or sublicensing of Intellectual Property or other general intangibles in a manner consistent with customary practice for a mining company;

(x) the creation of a Permitted Lien (but not the sale or other disposition of property subject to the Permitted Lien);

(b) amounts described in the preceding clause (a) used to make (i) investments, loans and advances pursuant to Section 6.04(s), (ii) Restricted Payments pursuant to Sections 6.06(a)(vi) and 6.06(a)(vii), (iii) payments, prepayments, redemptions, repurchases or other acquisitions for value of any principal amount of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.09(b)(B) and (iv) Unfinanced Capital Expenditures made pursuant to Section 6.10(b).

If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.03, then such financial ratio or test (or the calculation of Consolidated Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.03; provided that, at the election of the Borrower, no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.03 shall be required to be made with respect to any Subsidiary acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted investment if the aggregate consideration paid for all Permitted Acquisitions and such permitted investments during any fiscal year is less than the greater of (x) $6,000,000 and (y) 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets in the aggregate for all such transactions during such fiscal year of the Borrower.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, operating changes and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and giving the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any such action taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to such Specified Transaction; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies are to be realized no later than 18 months after the date of such Specified Transaction, and (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this Section 1.03(c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; provided that any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies pursuant to this Section 1.03(c) shall be subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a)(xi) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”, including the proviso at the end of such clause (a)(xi).

(d) Any provision requiring pro forma compliance with the Leverage Ratio with respect to any Test Period ending prior to December 31, 2016 shall use the Leverage Ratio required for the Test Period ending on December 31, 2016.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.03, when calculating the Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the Leverage Ratio pursuant to Section 6.11(a), the events described in this Section 1.03 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

SECTION 1.04. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Credit Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing”).

SECTION 1.05. Available Amount Transactions. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of which taking of each such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more of such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously.

SECTION 1.06. Basket Amounts and Application of Multiple Relevant Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any dollar, number, percentage or other amount available under any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be accumulated, added, combined, aggregated or used together by any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (b) any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such action or event but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 1.07. Limited Condition Transactions. (a) In the case of (i) the incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness hereunder (including any Revolving Commitment Increase), which shall remain subject to the terms and conditions applicable thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the impact, if any, of any Limited Condition Transaction) or Liens or the making of any Investments or consolidations, mergers or other fundamental changes pursuant to Section 6.05(a), in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction or (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction (other than for purposes of the incurrence of Indebtedness hereunder (including any Revolving Commitment Increase), each of which shall remain subject

to the terms and conditions applicable thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the impact, if any, of any Limited Condition Transaction), if the Borrower has made an LCT Election, the relevant ratios and baskets and whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be determined as of the date a definitive acquisition agreement for any such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement”) is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction (and any other pending Limited Condition Transaction) and other pro forma events in connection therewith (and in connection with any other pending Limited Condition Transaction), including the incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, were consummated on such LCT Test Date; provided that if the Borrower has made an LCT Election, in connection with measuring compliance with any Section of Article VI following such date and prior to the earlier of the date on which (x) such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated, (y) the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement is terminated or (z) the time period for consummation thereof pursuant to the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement has expired, any ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction (and any other pending Limited Condition Transaction) and other pro forma events in connection therewith (and in connection with any other pending Limited Condition Transaction) have been consummated, except that (other than solely with respect to the applicable incurrence test under which such Limited Condition Transaction or other transaction in connection therewith is being made) Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated Net Income of any target of such Limited Condition Transaction can only be used in the determination of the relevant ratios and baskets if and when such Limited Condition Transaction has closed.

(b) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any determination in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction of compliance with representations and warranties or as to the occurrence or absence of any Event of Default hereunder as of the date the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement (rather than the date of consummation of the applicable Limited Condition Transaction), shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of or consent to any breach of representations and warranties hereunder or any Event of Default hereunder that may exist at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), Mandatory Borrowings and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.24, the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, and (y) in the case of ABR Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the Commitments.

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

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

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and

(ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

(f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Sections 4.01(b), 4.01(c) and 4.01(d) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan (except for purposes of Section 6.11) and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f), and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph (f) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.22(e), in each case, as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone

or email (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly in writing to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Credit Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans owing by the Borrower that were outstanding on the date of such Borrowing was requested.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.375% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For purposes of calculating Commitment Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans unless and until a Mandatory Borrowing is effected in connection therewith in accordance with Section 2.22(e).

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

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender except to the extent provided in Section 2.26(a)(iii)(A)), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b) and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, a fronting fee which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the L/C

Exposure of such Issuing Bank (in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) applicable to such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the date such Letter of Credit is issued to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder (collectively, the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

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

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year) at all times, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

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

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

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If any Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), or 7.01(c) has occurred and is continuing, the amount of any overdue principal of or interest on any Loan or any overdue fees due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Default Rate.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not

exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to give notice when the Administrative Agent determines that such circumstances no longer exist), any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time, without premium or penalty, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the Swingline Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $500,000 and (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or Equity Interests or the consummation of a Change in 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.11. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, and (y) in the case of ABR Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall, unless rescinded as provided below, be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.12(a) by notice to the Administrative Agent on the date of prepayment if such prepayment would have resulted from an acquisition, an Asset Sale or other disposition of assets or a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Class, which acquisition, Asset Sale, disposition or refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, but otherwise may be made without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and if, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swingline Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure continues to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize or provide a backstop letter of credit with respect to such excess in accordance with Section 2.13(b).

(b) Upon receipt of notice and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the L/C Exposure shall exceed the L/C Commitment on any date, the Borrower shall (i) Cash Collateralize such excess with an amount in cash equal to 102% of such excess as of such date or (ii) provide a backstop letter of credit in a face amount equal to 102% of such excess as of such date from an issuer and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Class and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be made without premium or penalty, and (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the account of or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time as specified in paragraph (c) below, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts (and the basis thereof) necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or such Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

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

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (and each Lender shall promptly withdraw such declaration when such Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer exist); and

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

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

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

SECTION 2.16. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (whether or not such notice is permitted to be revoked, withdrawn or extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or (iv) any Eurodollar Loan to be prepaid by the Borrower not being prepaid after notice of prepayment of such Eurodollar Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (whether or not such notice is permitted to be revoked, withdrawn or extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 (and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations thereof and the basis therefor) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans and subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required under Section 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); it being acknowledged that this Section 2.17 shall not apply to any payment received by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or participation in any Loan to any assignee or participant in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the

Lenders at any time (other than to the extent provided in Section 2.05(a)), each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment received by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement, or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim; provided that on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or such earlier date the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.09, the payment of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts owing hereunder shall be made not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the

discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(d)) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (or such other office as the Administrative Agent may specify in writing from time to time to the Borrower and the Lenders). The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

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

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Except where required by a Governmental Authority, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. If the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) The Borrower or applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

(f) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (collectively, “Recipients” and individually, a “Recipient”) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, if required, to any applicable Governmental Authority, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Recipient that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration or invalidity of the certificate or any of the IRS forms described below, upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or as prescribed by applicable law), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor forms), as applicable, establishing eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or an exemption provided by the Code,

(ii) two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor forms), establishing that such Recipient is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax,

(iii) in the case of such Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor forms), as applicable, and (y) a certificate certifying that such Recipient is not (A) a “bank” as such term is used in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower or of a guarantor or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or

(iv) in the case of such Recipient not being the beneficial owner, two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate as described in clause (iii)(y) immediately above, and/or IRS Form W-9, as applicable from each beneficial owner.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this paragraph, a Recipient shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.20(f) (other than the IRS tax forms and related accompanying documentation described in clauses (i) through (iv) above) that such Recipient is not legally able to deliver.

(g) Each Recipient that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration or invalidity of any of the certificates or IRS forms described below, upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or as prescribed by applicable law), two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, is not subject to backup withholding.

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

obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i) If the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.20(i) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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

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

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

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower at any time and

from time to time after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding the greater of (x) $4,500,000 or (y) 10.0% of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan (i) shall be made and maintained as an ABR Loan and (ii) shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $100,000. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.22 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to any Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with Section 9.08(b).

(b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall notify, by delivery of a Borrowing Request, the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by email or telephone (promptly confirmed in writing), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such Borrowing Request shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan and the wire transfer instructions for the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of the Swingline Loan should be disbursed. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan by wire transfer to the account specified in such request.

(c) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving irrevocable written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified on Schedule 9.01.

(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in its sole discretion, require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding; provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 7.01. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of

Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other Person liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Mandatory Borrowings. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in its sole discretion, require that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans; provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 7.01, in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Revolving Credit Lenders based on their Pro Rata Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally, agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts

so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any Mandatory Borrowing made pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a Mandatory Borrowing shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have funded their obligations pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The refinancing of a Swingline Loan with a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other Person liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment of such Mandatory Borrowing. Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in above, with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in this Section 2.22(e).

(f) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event the Swingline Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that a Lender has not funded its participation pursuant to Section 2.22(d) or its pro rata share of a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.22(e), the Borrower shall, upon demand by the Swingline Lender, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s unfunded participation or Pro Rata Percentage of the Loans required to be made pursuant to such Mandatory Borrowing, as the case may be, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent solely to reduce the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans; provided that no such payment by the Borrower shall change the status of a Defaulting Lender as such, or otherwise limit, reduce or qualify the obligations of any Lender with respect to its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including without limitation to fund its Pro Rata Percentage of participations required by Section 2.22(d) or Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, in each case, after giving effect to any payments made by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this sentence.

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitment remains in effect as set forth in Section 2.09(a); provided that all Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars. This Section 2.23 shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by (i) reallocating all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.23(j) and/or (ii) Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.23(k).

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver in writing the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

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

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

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day.

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

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

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

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other Person Guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

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

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

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligations of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) of the applicable Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s (or its Related Parties’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

It is further understood and agreed that the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (i) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank (unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall, as promptly as possible, give telephonic notification (confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

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

(i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank (other than any Issuing Bank which is also the Administrative Agent, unless such Issuing Bank is resigning as Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII) may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of such retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing

Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of any Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 9.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the reallocation described in this Section 2.23(j) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(k).

(k) Cash Collateralization.

(i) Defaulting Lenders. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.23(j) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(ii) Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall (subject to the last sentence of clause (v) of this Section 2.23(k)), on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an amount in cash equal to 102% of the L/C Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to Cash Collateralize shall become effective immediately, and such Cash Collateral will become immediately payable in immediately available funds, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h).

(iii) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders,

and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for (x) the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23(e) and/or the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit and/or (y) the Borrower’s other Obligations, in each case to be applied pursuant to clause (iv) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will (subject to the last sentence of clause (v) of this Section 2.23(k)), promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency).

(iv) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied (x) to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit for which the Cash Collateral was so provided and (y) as set forth in clause (ii) above in connection with an Event of Default, in each case, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. Other than any interest earned on the investment of Cash Collateral in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateral deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account and shall be treated for all purposes as additional Cash Collateral. Such deposits shall (x) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for L/C Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and (y) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Obligations.

(v) Termination of Requirement. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of a Defaulting Lender, Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(k) following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that the Borrower and the Issuing Banks may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided further that such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.24. Incremental Revolving Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Revolving Commitment Increase being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or (x) such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Facility Amount or (y) such lesser increments and minimum amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and (ii) the date on which such Revolving Commitment Increase requested is to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 days after the date of such notice, unless agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that no more than 4 Revolving Commitment Increases may be requested by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) The Borrower may seek Revolving Commitment Increases from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Incremental Assumption Agreement as provided in this Section 2.24, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Revolving Loans) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders which are Eligible Assignees (each such existing Lender or additional lender providing such Revolving Commitment Increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender’s providing such Revolving Commitment Increases to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments to such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender. The terms and provisions of the Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans.

(c) The effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, and the Revolving Commitment Increase thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date of such Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions: (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 and (iii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Revolving Commitment Increase to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been paid in full.

(d) On each Incremental Facility Closing Date, (i) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall make its Commitment (any such new commitments, collectively, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) available to the Borrower (when borrowed, an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Increase and

(ii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Revolving Commitment Increase and the Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto.

(e) Commitments in respect of Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Assumption Agreement, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Assumption Agreement may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24.

(f) Upon any Incremental Facility Closing Date, (i) each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Incremental Revolving Loans outstanding on such Incremental Facility Closing Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Revolving Commitment Increases to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Revolving Commitment Increases and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17, 2.18 or 9.08 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.25. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.26. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.23(k); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such 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 deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.23(k); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no 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 such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such 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 L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.23(j).

With respect to projected financial information, pro forma financial information, budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information, the Borrower represents that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time delivered, it being understood and acknowledged that such projected financial information, pro forma financial information, budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, are subject significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, that no assurances can be given that such projected results will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material.

uses a prototype or volume submitter plan document has received a favorable opinion or advisory) from the Internal Revenue Service that the form meets the tax qualification requirements and nothing has occurred which could reasonably be expected to prevent, or reasonably be expected to cause the loss of, such qualification.

SECTION 3.19. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and (i) when the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) is delivered to the Collateral Agent together with stock, membership interest powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer duly executed in blank, the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties party thereto in such Pledged Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, and subject only to Permitted Liens that arise by operation of applicable legal requirements and are not voluntarily granted, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a),

(b) Upon the recordation of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or a short-form security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent) with, as and if applicable, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, together with the financing statements or such other filings in appropriate form filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a), the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all of the right, title and interest of the Loan Parties party thereto in the Company Intellectual Property to the extent a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement pursuant to the UCC and/or such recordation in, as applicable, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, and subject only to Permitted Liens (it being understood that subsequent filings and recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary with respect to U.S. issued Patents and U.S. Patent applications, U.S. Trademark registrations and U.S. trademark applications and U.S. Copyright registrations acquired by the applicable Loan Parties after the date hereof).

(c) Any Mortgage executed by a Loan Party pursuant to Sections 5.12(c) and 5.13 shall, after the execution and delivery thereof, be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the applicable Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgage is filed in the applicable office and all related recording fees paid, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties party thereto in such Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior in right to any other Person, and subject only to Permitted Liens.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrower may make regularly scheduled payments of interest and fees on any Additional Unsecured Debt, and may make any payments required by the terms of such Indebtedness in order to avoid the application of Section 163(e)(5) of the Code to such Indebtedness.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT; ETC.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Jefferies Finance LLC, as its Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints Jefferies Finance LLC as its Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”), and Jefferies Finance LLC hereby accepts each such appointment. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents, (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each

116

Lender and (iii) in the event of a foreclosure by any of the Agents on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or a sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “Agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08); provided that neither Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default

117

unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that each Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to such Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution)) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall either Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

118

Subject to the elapsing of the 30-day period for the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, or, at any time either Agent is a Lender whose Commitments are being assigned at the election of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring or removed Agent may, with, so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or other financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank or other financial institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint, with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Any such resignation or removal by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Agent (and in the case of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), (ii) the retiring or removed Agent (and in the case of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring Issuing Bank, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

119

The Collateral Agent, the successor Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties shall execute all documents and take all other actions necessary or in the opinion of successor Agent reasonably desirable in connection with the substitution by successor Agent of Collateral Agent as holder of the security under the Loan Documents, all in accordance with applicable law.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relating to the Loan Documents relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents under Sections 2.05 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Collateral Agent to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Collateral Agent, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.05.

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, the Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead Arranger in its capacity as such shall not, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.

The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent the Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated by the recipient as set forth in Section 9.16), (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor,” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Facilities.

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

NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR

122

DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE DECISION BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

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

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required to any such assignment made to another Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender); provided, however, that (i) the Borrower must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed to have been given by the Borrower if the Borrower has not otherwise rejected such assignment within 10 Business Days of a written request for such consent) (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any such assignment made (x) to another Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), (ii) the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral multiple of, and not less than, $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans); provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds of a Lender shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their respective Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax documentation. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be

124

entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid); provided, however, notwithstanding any assignment by a Lender of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.16 for a period of one year following any such assignment.

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

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and any stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

125

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

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Disqualified Institution) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20 shall be delivered to the participating bank) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but no participant shall be entitled to any greater payment thereunder than that to which the Lender that sold the participation to such participant would have been entitled had it not sold the participation) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (provided that any Lender and any participating bank or other Person of such Lender may agree that such Lender shall be required to seek consent from such participating bank or other Person with respect to any amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or Person has an interest or releasing one or more Subsidiary Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of any Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) that represent all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees of the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents or all or substantially all of the Collateral (it being understood and agreed, however, that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.02 or 1.03 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (iv))). Each Lender that sells a participation or is a Granting Lender (as defined in paragraph (i) below) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”) provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any

126

Person (including the identity of any participating bank or any information relating to a participating bank’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation or interest in the Loan, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank or other Person also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such participating bank or other Person agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

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

(i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

128

Parties) or that are addressed in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.05, (x) in respect of any settlement entered into by any Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (y) in respect of (A) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or one of its Affiliates or (B) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against any Agent or the Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such) and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (z) attributable to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim), which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnitee shall assert, and each Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations above to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

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

(f) No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing pursuant to Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h)), at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party, against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower or other Loan Parties, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26 (to the extent applicable) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The applicable Lender shall endeavor to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff or application under this Section 9.06. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

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

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment

130

or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date of, or date for the payment of any interest on or any fees, but excluding any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07) payable with respect to, any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on or reduce any fees, but excluding any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07) payable with respect to any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.02 or 1.03 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i));

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein) shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (ii));

(iii) amend or modify Section 2.17, 7.02 or the definition of “Pro Rate Percentage” in a manner that would alter the order of or the pro rata

131

sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for any such amendment or modification to reflect the addition of one or more Classes of Loans in a manner consistent with the treatment of Obligations under Section 7.02 immediately prior to such amendment or modification) or change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class;

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 9.04(i) or the provisions of this Section 9.08 or release one or more Subsidiary Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Security Document) that represent all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees of the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents or release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional Obligations equally and ratably with the other Obligations), in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(v) change any provision of this Section 9.08 or the percentage contained in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portions of Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments on the date hereof);

(vi) change Section 9.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder with the prior written consent of each Lender; or

(vii) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit and the provisions thereof may be waived, amended or modified solely in accordance with Section 2.23.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) above or otherwise herein to the contrary, (i) any amendment or modification that would extend the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender or the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of the Revolving Loans of any Lender and increase the rate of interest and fees payable on the Revolving Credit

132

Commitments or Revolving Loans of such Lender shall not require the prior written consent of each Lender, so long as such extension is offered to all Revolving Credit Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans then outstanding pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the payment in full of any Loans on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the payment of interest and fees made on account of the Commitments or Loans of any Lender as required under this Agreement after giving effect to an amendment or other modification described in the preceding clause (i), shall not be deemed to violate Section 2.17 or be an event that would require the purchase of participations pursuant to Section 2.18; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the preceding clause (i), no such amendment or modification shall alter the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, and (iii) the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors may amend, supplement or otherwise modify any Security Document so long as such amendment, supplement or other modification is not adverse to any Secured Party and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Security Document. For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment or modification of the type described in the preceding clause (i) will require an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders.

(d) The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to create, perfect and maintain perfected security interests in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option, and in its sole discretion: (i) to enter into and sign for and on behalf of the Lenders as Secured Parties the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties; (ii) to automatically release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than in respect of Secured Hedging Obligations and contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless the L/C Exposure related thereto has been cash collateralized, backstopped or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), (B) at the time any Collateral is to be sold as part of any Asset Sale (or other disposition of assets) to any Person other than the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries permitted under Section 6.05 (and the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate to the effect that such Asset Sale (or any other disposition of assets) and the disposition of the proceeds thereof will comply with the terms of this Agreement), (C) subject to Section 9.08(b), if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (D) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (iv) below; (iii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to another Lien permitted (A) to exist on such property and (B) to be senior to the Liens of the Secured Parties under this Agreement (including Liens permitted by Section 6.02(i), 6.02(j) or 6.02(l)) (and the Borrower and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate to the effect that the incurrence of such other Lien on the Collateral will comply with the terms of this Agreement); and (iv) to release (A) any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and

133

Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor (including if such Person becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) or (B) any item of Collateral from the Lien granted in favor of the Collateral Agent if such property becomes an Excluded Asset (as such term is defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case, as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a guarantor, or such Collateral continues to be collateral, as the case may be, in respect of any Subordinated Indebtedness or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof.

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

(e) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct any errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any

134

Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission, including by PDF file, shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any

135

action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Related Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, Advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other Advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process or in connection with any pledge or assignment made pursuant to Section 9.04(h), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any of the Borrower and its obligations, or (iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Loan or Loan Party, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to an investor or prospective investor in securities issued by a Related Fund of any Lender that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such

136

securities issued by a Related Fund of any Lender or to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities issued by a Related Fund of any Lender in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by such Related Fund (it being agreed that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (i) to the extent such Information (x) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (j) to the extent that such Information has been independently developed by the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. In addition, the Agents, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in connection with the administrative and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section 9.16, “Information” shall mean all information received from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any such Person. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

(b) Neither Agent nor any Lender may publish any press release, tombstone, advertising or other promotional material (including via any electronic transmission) relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Loan Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any such press release, advertising or other promotional material to the Borrower for review, comment and approval prior to the publication thereof, and the applicable Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall not make such publication prior receiving such approval in writing. If such approval is provided for any of the foregoing, all such publications shall be at the sole expense of the applicable Lender or Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 9.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless

137

expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

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

SECTION 9.19. Release of Liens. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger, consolidation or in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary permitted hereunder) other than to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or the release of any Collateral is otherwise expressly authorized or permitted under this Agreement, then the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released (without need for further action by any person) and in connection therewith, upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of a certificate of the Borrower to the effect that such transaction and the disposition of the proceeds thereof has compiled or will comply with the terms of this Agreement (with such supporting detail as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request), the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower or such other Loan Party, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable to evidence the release of the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such Collateral.

SECTION 9.20. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender, Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the Transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent

138

judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto

SECTION 9.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

NON-U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:

I. Corporations:

If your institution is incorporated outside of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and is the beneficial owner of the interest and other income it receives, you must complete one of the following three tax forms, as applicable to your institution: a.) Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), b.) Form W-8ECI (Income Effectively Connected to a U.S. Trade or Business), or c.) Form W-8EXP (Certificate of Foreign Government or Governmental Agency).

A U.S. taxpayer identification number is required for any institution submitting Form W-8ECI. It is also required on Form W-8BEN for certain institutions claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with the U.S. Please refer to the instructions when completing the form applicable to your institution. In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms. Two duly completed, executed, original copies of the applicable tax form must be submitted.

II. Flow-Through Entities:

If your institution is organized outside the U.S., and is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as either a Partnership, Trust, Qualified or Non-Qualified Intermediary, or other non- U.S. flow-through entity, an original Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding) must be completed by the intermediary together with a withholding statement. Flow-through entities other than Qualified Intermediaries are required to include tax forms for each of the underlying beneficial owners.

Please refer to the instructions when completing this form. In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms. Two duly completed, executed, original copies of the applicable tax form must be submitted.

U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:

If your institution is incorporated or organized within the United States, you must complete and return Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). Please be advised that we request that you submit two duly completed, executed, original copies of Form W-9.

Pursuant to the language contained in the tax section of the Credit Agreement, the applicable tax form for your institution must be completed and returned prior to the time that you become a party to the Credit Agreement. Failure to provide the proper tax form when requested may subject your institution to U.S. tax withholding.

(e) the execution and performance by the Grantors of this Agreement are within each Grantor’s corporate or limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action or other organizational action;

(f) no material consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any Person is required under any applicable law or the organizational documents of any issuer of Pledged Collateral to ensure the validity of the pledge effected hereby, except for (i) approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions by, or notices to, or filings and registrations necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that pursuant to the express terms of the Loan Documents are not required to have been completed, obtained or made as at each time of this representation, (ii) the approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect, and (iii) any approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions, notices or filings;

(g) by virtue of the execution and delivery by each Grantor of this Agreement, and delivery of the Pledged Equity consisting of certificated securities to, and continued possession thereof by, the Collateral Agent in any state in the United States, the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) has a valid and perfected first-priority lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Equity as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations to the extent such perfection is governed by the UCC, subject only to Permitted Liens which are non-consensual;

Section 2.04. Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Interests. No Limited Liability Company Interest or Partnership Interest that constitutes Pledged Equity is, or shall be, represented by a certificate unless (i) the limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement expressly provides that such interests shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction or (ii) regardless of whether such Pledged Equity is a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, any and all certificates evidencing such Pledged Equity are delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.02. If any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor that constitutes Pledged Equity includes in its limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement that any interests in such limited liability company or such limited partnership are a “security” as defined under Article 8 of the UCC, the applicable Grantor shall promptly certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability company or such limited partnership. To the extent an interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged under Section 2.01 is certificated or becomes certificated, (i) each such certificate shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and (ii) such Grantor shall fulfill all other requirements under Section 2.02 applicable in respect thereof. Such Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Collateral is at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Grantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if necessary or, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Collateral, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equity holder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Collateral under the terms hereof.

Section 2.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations.

Section 2.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest.

(a) Unless and until any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given the Borrower one Business Day’s prior written notice that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof and each Grantor agrees that it shall not exercise such rights in violation of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above.

-10-

(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and, in the case of Pledged Equity, shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities permitted by the Credit Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the Grantors’ rights under this Section 2.06, then, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. Once no Event of Default is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account (if any) to the extent not otherwise applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have provided the Borrower with notice of the suspension of its rights under this Section 2.06, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. Once no Event of Default is

-11-

continuing, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise in respect of any Pledged Securities or any part thereof in which such Grantor retains an ownership interest (if any) pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated with respect thereto.

(d) In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral held by such Grantor and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of such Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall only be effective following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default; provided that during such time, such proxy shall be effective automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of such Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof). Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the irrevocable proxy granted to the Collateral Agent by such Grantor pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to the Pledged Collateral held by such Grantor is coupled with an interest and shall be exercisable by the Collateral Agent only after any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, but in any event solely after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 7.13 herein in accordance with the terms thereof.

(e) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged Collateral, such Grantor agrees to (i) comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to such Pledged Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default without further consent by the registered owner of such Pledged Collateral, and (ii) pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

(f) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower under Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend some of the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(e) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person, the Fair Market Value of which is in excess of $500,000 individually, or $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such property subject to security interests in favor of the Grantors, to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly grant a security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties therein. Such grant need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(f) If at any time any amounts payable under or in connection with any Collateral owned by any Grantor shall be or become evidenced by an instrument or tangible chattel paper, the Fair Market Value of which is in excess of $500,000 individually, or $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such instruments and tangible chattel paper of the Grantors, and, in the case of any such instrument or tangible chattel paper, such Grantor shall comply with the covenants in Section 2.02(b). If any amount payable under or in connection with any Collateral owned by any Grantor shall be or become evidenced by electronic chattel paper in excess of $500,000 individually, or $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such electronic chattel paper of the Grantors, such Grantor shall provide prompt notice to the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the Collateral Agent, take all steps necessary to grant Collateral Agent control of all such electronic chattel paper for the purposes of Section 9-105 of the UCC (or any similar section under any equivalent UCC) and all “transferable records” as defined in each of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.

(g) Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement or, with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful in the applicable Grantor’s business operations, except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor agrees to (A) take, at its expense, all reasonable steps permitted by any applicable law to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application now or hereafter included in the Collateral of such Grantor that are not Excluded Assets, (B) take all reasonable steps permitted by any applicable law to prevent any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, from lapsing, being terminated, or becoming invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, become publicly known) and (C) take all reasonable steps permitted by any applicable law to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, at a level equal to or better than the quality of the products and services as of the Closing Date, and taking reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to standards of quality.

-17-

(ii) The Borrower shall provide (A) on each date on which a Compliance Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(c) of the Credit Agreement, a list of any Registered Intellectual Property Collateral not covered by the filings required under Section 3.02(c), together with supplemental Intellectual Property Security Agreements substantially in the form of Exhibits C, D and E, as applicable, covering all such Registered Intellectual Property Collateral, and (B) within thirty (30) days of the acquisition, filing or issuance of any material Copyrights owned by a Grantor which are the subject of an issuance, registration or pending application in any intellectual property registry, and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, a list of such material Copyrights, together with supplemental Intellectual Property Security Agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit E covering all such material Copyrights.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents or shall be deemed to prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

(h) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount (taking the greater of the aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof) reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed $2,500,000 for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which such Grantor has asserted a claim, such Grantor shall (A) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the date on which a Compliance Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(c) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor has acquired such Commercial Tort Claim, or (B) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly after such Grantor has acquired such Commercial Tort Claim, notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor that supplements Schedule III hereto (including a summary description of such claim) and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a valid security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Letter of Credit Rights. If any Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit that is (i) not a supporting obligation of any Collateral and (ii) in excess of $1,000,000 individually, or $2,500,000 in the aggregate for all such letters of credit of the Grantors, such Grantor shall (A) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the date on which a Compliance Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(c) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor becomes a beneficiary thereof, or (B) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly after such Grantor becomes a beneficiary thereof, notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, enter into a Contractual Obligation with the Collateral Agent, the issuer of such letter of credit or any nominated person with respect to the letter-of-credit rights under such letter of credit. Such Contractual Obligation shall collaterally assign such letter-of-credit rights to the Collateral Agent and such assignment shall be sufficient to grant control to the Collateral Agent for the purposes of Section 9-107 of the UCC (or any similar section under any equivalent UCC), and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

(j) Accounts Receivable. Other than in the ordinary course of business, each Grantor shall not amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Accounts Receivable in any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of such Accounts Receivable. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (i) each

-18-

Grantor shall not (w) grant any extension or renewal of the time of payment of any Accounts Receivable, (x) compromise or settle any dispute, claim or legal proceeding with respect to any Accounts Receivable for less than the total unpaid balance thereof, (y) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or (z) allow any credit or discount thereon, in each case of clauses (w), (x), (y) and (z), other than in the ordinary course of business and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to enforce, at the expense of such Grantor, collection of any such Accounts Receivable and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done.

(k) Deposit and Securities Accounts.

(i) Subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.13 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall maintain all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts (excluding any Excluded Accounts) only with financial institutions that have executed an agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) (an “Account Control Agreement”) with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent, agreeing to comply with instructions issued or originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Deposit Account or Securities Account without further consent of any Grantor or any other Person; provided that (x) for any such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts not in existence on the Closing Date, the applicable Grantor shall cause such an Account Control Agreement to be in place within 90 days (or such longer period of time as the Collateral Agent may approve in its sole discretion) of the opening of (or acquisition of) such accounts and (y) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Deposit Account for which any Grantor, the depositary bank and the Collateral Agent have entered into a cash collateral agreement specially negotiated among such Grantor, the depositary bank and the Administrative Agent for the specific purpose set forth therein. The Collateral Agent agrees that (x) it shall have no right to provide any such instructions until the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and (y) if such instructions have been delivered by the Collateral Agent to a financial institution and the Event of Default that predicated the delivery of such instructions is later cured or is no longer continuing (and no other Event of Default is then in existence), the Collateral Agent and such Grantor agree to promptly amend the applicable Account Control Agreement with the applicable financial institution or enter into a new Account Control Agreement with such financial institution (or rescind any such instructions), as and to the extent required by such financial institutions, to reestablish the right of such Grantor to provide written instructions from time to time to such financial institution for the disposition of funds in the applicable Deposit Account or Securities Account, unless and until a new Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(ii) On each date on which a Compliance Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall provide a list of any Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts which are not subject to an Account Control Agreement, together with an indication of which such accounts are Excluded Accounts.

ARTICLE IV.

Guarantee

Section 4.01. The Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally with the other Subsidiary Guarantors guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective permitted successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or

-19-

otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and any promissory notes evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations, including any future increases in the amount thereof, being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, that Guaranteed Obligations shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Subsidiary Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 4.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 4.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any promissory notes evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Subsidiary Guarantor (except for payment in full), including any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent permitted by law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be amended or waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any promissory notes evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, extended or renewed or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.08, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of the Collateral Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be or remain perfected or the existence of any intervening Lien or security interest; or

(v) the release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.08.

-20-

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive (to the fullest extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any promissory notes evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to it by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code; the foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or the Secured Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Subsidiary Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 4.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 4.04. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment in full and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than in respect of Secured Hedging Obligations and contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and owing, and L/C Exposure that has been cash collateralized, backstopped or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall subordinate any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 4.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 4.05. Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and any promissory notes evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances

-21-

provided in such Section 7.01) for purposes of Section 4.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01.

Section 4.06. Continuing Guarantee. The Guarantee in this Article IV is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 4.07. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 4.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 4.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the liability under this Guaranty and the right of contribution established in Section 4.09, but before giving effect to any other guarantee) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 4.08. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons none of which is a Loan Party in a transaction permitted hereunder or (ii) any Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (any such Subsidiary Guarantor, and any Subsidiary Guarantor referred to in clause (i), a “Transferred Guarantor”), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or other transaction, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 4.08 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents.

When all Commitments hereunder have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied (other in respect of Secured Hedging Obligations and contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and owing), and no Letter of Credit remains outstanding (or any L/C Exposure has been cash collateralized, backstopped or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank), this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all Obligations, except with respect to Obligations that expressly survive such repayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.09. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and

-22-

conditions of Section 4.04. The provisions of this Section 4.09 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4.10. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 4.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 4.10, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 4.10 shall remain in full force and effect until all Commitments hereunder have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied (other than in respect of Secured Hedging Obligations and contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and owing), and no Letter of Credit remains outstanding (or any L/C Exposure has been cash collateralized, backstopped or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 4.10 constitute, and this Section 4.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE V.

Remedies

Section 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law or in equity and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent, promptly assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable law, without obligation to pay rent or otherwise to such Grantor or any other Person in respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any applicable law now existing or hereafter enacted.

-23-

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantor(s) 10 calendar days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is commercially reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. The Collateral Agent may sell any Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and applicable law without giving any warranties as to such Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 5.02. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the

-24-

Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be final (absent manifest error).

Section 5.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at and during the continuance of such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a nonexclusive, royalty-free, limited license to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of any Event of Default and upon written notice to the applicable Grantor of any Event of Default, and nothing in this Section 5.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, unreasonably prejudices the value of any Intellectual Property, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted; provided, further, that any such license and any such license granted by the Collateral Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms and conditions necessary to preserve the existence, validity and value of the affected Intellectual Property, including provisions requiring (as applicable) the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, quality control and inurement provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to Patents, copyright notices and restrictions on decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Collateral Agent rights in and to such Intellectual Property above and beyond the extent to which such Grantor has the right to grant a sublicense to such Intellectual Property). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 5.01 with respect to Intellectual Property contained in the Article 9 Collateral.

Section 5.04. Effect of Securities Laws. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were

-25-

a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

Section 5.05. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and, to the extent set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Subordination

All communications and notices hereunder to the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.02. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under each other

-26-

Loan Document, are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by applicable law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the provision of services under any Secured Hedging Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement and any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any resignation of the Collateral Agent or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable within 30 days of written demand therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such request).

Section 7.04. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit and the provision of services under any Secured Hedging Agreement, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as this Agreement has not been terminated or released pursuant to Section 7.11 below.

Section 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 7.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) The terms of Sections 9.07, 9.11 and 9.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 7.11. Termination, Release or Subordination.

(a) This Agreement (other than with respect to provisions hereof that expressly survive termination), the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be automatically released upon the termination of all Commitments, the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than in

-28-

respect of Secured Hedging Obligations and contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and owing) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or any L/C Exposure has been cash collateralized, backstopped or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank).

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest and any Liens granted herein to the Collateral Agent in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.

(c) Upon any disposition by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.11, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by such Grantor to effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

Section 7.12. Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, certain additional Subsidiaries of the Grantors may be required to enter in this Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary of a Supplement, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 7.13. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

-29-

Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, in which case no such notice shall be required), to notify, or to require the Borrower or any other Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; (h) upon prior written notice to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, in which case no such notice shall be required), to otherwise communicate with any Account Debtor; (i) upon prior written notice to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, in which case no such notice shall be required), to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorse the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance; (j) upon prior written notice to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, in which case no such notice shall be required), to make all determinations and decisions with respect to policies of insurance; (k) upon prior written notice to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, in which case no such notice shall be required), to obtain or maintain the policies of insurance required by Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; and (l) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, advisors, counsel, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other representatives (in the case of agents and representatives, only to the extent such persons are acting at the direction of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Parties), in each case, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph shall be payable in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.15. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.

-30-

Section 7.16. Delegation; Limitation. The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible for the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care and without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 7.17. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Grantors under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 7.18. Miscellaneous. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred.

Section 7.19. Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement) excludes any assets from the scope of the Collateral or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by any relevant Grantor in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, Sections 2.03 and 3.03) shall be deemed not to apply to such excluded assets solely to the extent required by the applicable provisions of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.

FORM OF

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

December , 2016

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is being executed and delivered on the date hereof after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the date hereof pursuant to Section 4.02(i) of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Smart Sand, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as borrower, (the “Borrower”), each lender from time to time party thereto, each Issuing Bank and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement).

I, the undersigned, the [Chief Financial Officer] of the Borrower, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, that I am duly authorized to execute this Certificate on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof), that:

1. For purposes of this Certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:

(a) “Fair Value”

The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

(b) “Present Fair Salable Value”

The amount that could reasonably be expected to be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets (both tangible and intangible) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold on a going concern basis with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the date hereof (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans thereunder and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof), determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

F-1

(d) “Identified Contingent Liabilities”

The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the date hereof (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans thereunder and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof) (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by Responsible Officers of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).

(e) “Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature”

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of Identified Contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

(f) “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions to occur on the date hereof (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans thereunder and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof) is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

2. For purposes of this Certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.

(a) I have reviewed the financial statements referred to in Section 4.02(h) of the Credit Agreement.

(b) I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.

F-2

(c) As the [Chief Financial Officer] of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate.

3. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the date hereof (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans thereunder and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof), it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceeds their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, (ii) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are not engaged in, and are not about to engage in, business for which they have Unreasonably Small Capital and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned (and its successors), to the extent a borrower from time to time with respect to any loan or advance (a “Loan”) from any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”), hereby promises to pay on demand to such other entity listed below (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”) or its registered assigns, in immediately available funds in the currencies as shall be agreed from time to time between such Payor and Payee at such location as the applicable Payee shall from time to time designate, the unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Payee to such Payor. Each Payor promises also to pay interest, if any, on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans in like money at said location from the date of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.

This Global Intercompany Note (this “Note”) is an Intercompany Note referred to in the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Smart Sand, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as borrower, (the “Borrower”), each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), each Issuing Bank and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

This Note (a) evidences investments of the types described in Section 6.04(c) of the Credit Agreement and (b) is subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Each Payee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent may exercise all rights provided in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, with respect to this Note.

Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee that is not a Loan Party (any such Payor and Payee with respect to any such indebtedness, an “Affected Payor” or “Affected Payee”, as relevant) shall be unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of such Affected Payor, including, without limitation, where applicable, under such Affected Payor’s guarantee of the Obligations (the Obligations and the foregoing obligations (including any obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof), including interest thereon, if any, accruing after the commencement of any

G-1

proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed or allowable claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Senior Indebtedness”):

(i) in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to any Affected Payor or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Affected Payor, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and all Letter of Credit shall have been canceled or have been expired (unless the L/C Exposure related thereto has been cash collateralized, back-stopped by a letter of credit or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) before any Affected Payee is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or the L/C Exposure related to Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized, back-stopped by a letter of credit or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank), any payment or distribution to which such Affected Payee would otherwise be entitled in respect of this Note shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;

(ii) if any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Affected Payor or any other Person on its behalf with respect to this Note; and

(iii) if any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or the L/C Exposure related to Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized, back-stopped by a letter of credit or deemed reissued under another agreement, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank), such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Affected Payor or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Affected Payee and each Affected Payor hereby agree that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent

G-2

and the other Secured Parties, and the Secured Parties are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or the other Secured Parties, may proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the right to enforce the subordination of this Note may only be enforced by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holder of any Senior Indebtedness.

Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest, if any, on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Each Payor and each Payee agrees that no change, waiver, modification or amendment of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby that is adverse in any material respect to the Lenders shall be effective without the prior written approval of the Collateral Agent.

Each Payor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. Except to the extent of any taxes required by law to be withheld, all payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and permitted assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and its successors and permitted assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, this Note (i) replaces and supersedes any and all promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on or before the date hereof by any Payee to any other Loan Party, and (ii) shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any Payee to any other Loan Party (except any amendments or amendments and restatements of this Note made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement).

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page to this Note (each additional subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors and Payees, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof.

This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.

G-3

The terms and provisions of this Note are severable, and if any term or provision shall be determined to be superseded, illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part pursuant to applicable requirements of law by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, such determination shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that term or provision in any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this Note in any jurisdiction.

This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
