Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Loan to the Borrowers (such Loan to be the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers) on the Closing Date in the principal amount equal to its Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the funded portion of each Loan to be made on the Closing Date (i.e., the amount advanced to the Borrowers on the Closing Date) shall be equal to 89.655% of the principal amount of such Loan (it being agreed that the full principal amount of each such Loan will be deemed outstanding on the Closing Date and the Borrowers shall be obligated to repay 100% of the principal amount of each such Loan as provided hereunder).

Section 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its

obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

(b) 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 as the Administrative Agent may designate from time to time not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrowers 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 within two Business Days.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written 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 Section 2.02(b), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers 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, each of such Lender and the Borrowers severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans. 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, and the Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) shall cease.

Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. To request the incurrence of the Loans hereunder on the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopy (or transmit by other electronic transmission), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) and (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided 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 Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to pay, and perform, the Loan Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. 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 Lender shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Any Lender by written notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in the form of Exhibit F.

If the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Exchange Notes tendered into such ATA Excess Distribution Offer exceeds the amount of available Remaining ATA Excess Proceeds, the Borrowers shall repay the Loans and Exchange Notes on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to make an ATA Excess Distribution Offer unless the aggregate Remaining ATA Excess Proceeds with respect to an applicable ATA Distribution Offer shall exceed $1,300,000.

(c) Change of Control and IPO Optional Prepayments. In the event that (i) a Change of Control Transaction or (ii) an IPO occurs, in each case after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall have the right, on the date of consummation of such Change of Control Transaction or, in the case of an IPO, at any time and from time to time after the consummation of such IPO and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09 and without premium except as set forth in this Section 2.09(c). All voluntary prepayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 18.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayments. Each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $500,000 (or such other integral or minimum amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent).

(d) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 2.09(d), each such notice shall be irrevocable. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers may rescind any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.09(d) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic communication. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.09. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be accompanied by payment in cash of accrued but unpaid interest (including interest attributable to the PIK Portion) on the principal amount of Loans so prepaid.

Section 2.10 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally make each payment (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.11 or 2.12 or otherwise) required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. 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. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxx X0000-000, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section 9.08) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Collateral Agreements), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its

Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender (other than as a result of an election by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b)), then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.10(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Parent or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.10(c) shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.10(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.10(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.10(d) or 9.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.11 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,

collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest and any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates and in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of clause (d) of this Section 2.11 or (ii) (other than in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b)) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or at the time such Lender changes its applicable lending office), except to the extent that, in the case of an assignment, such Lender’s assignor was entitled, at the time of assignment, and, in the case of a change in lending office, such Lender was entitled, prior to the time of such change, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) In addition, without limiting the provisions of Section 2.11(a), the Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, (i) the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any requirement to withhold, deduct or pay such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as soon as the Borrowers become aware of it; (ii) the Borrowers shall pay any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made, in the case of a liability to pay imposed on a Loan Party, for its own account or, in the case of a liability to pay imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be; and (iii) the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrowers from the relevant Governmental Authority showing payment thereof as promptly as possible after such payment. If the Borrowers fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or Form W-8ECI (or successor form), or, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to

payments of “portfolio interest”, a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes entitled to a payment under this Agreement. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund and only so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as determined by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(f) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (except for Non-Excluded Taxes to the extent covered by the proviso set forth in Section 2.11(a)) or Other Taxes (and, in each case, any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, arising from or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any payment hereunder or thereunder (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (or interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) 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 such Loan Party by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.12 Capital Requirements. (a) If any Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding Capital Requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers jointly and severally will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

(b) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.12, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, (iii) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrowers that requires the consent of

100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and, which, in each case, has been consented to by the Required Lenders or a majority in interest of the affected Lenders, as the case may be, or (iv) any Lender defaults in its obligations to make Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder, the Borrowers 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 and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender 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 assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable law, (y) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written acknowledgment of the Administrative Agent, which acknowledgment shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender affected by such assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.13(b).

evidence of indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties is bound (collectively, “Applicable Agreements”), except, in the case of each of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), for such violations, breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party nor the consummation of any transactions contemplated therein will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, require the consent of any Person (other than consents already obtained and in full force and effect) under, or result in the imposition of (or the obligation to create) a Lien on any assets of any Company (except for Liens pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and the Senior Note Documents) under or pursuant to the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party, any Federal, state, local or foreign statute, law (including, without limitation, common law) or ordinance, or any judgment, decree, rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Loan Party or any of its properties or any Applicable Agreement, except for such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, lack of any consents or imposition of Liens that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Entry by the Loan Parties into and performance by the Loan Parties of the Loan Documents will not result in a default under any Senior Note Document.

(c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any Governmental Authority or third party is required for the incurrence of the Loans by the Borrowers or the consummation by the Loan Parties of the other Transactions. No injunction or order has been issued that would prevent or suspend the effectiveness of the Loan Documents in any jurisdiction.

Section 3.07 Litigation; Compliance with Legal Requirements. (a) There is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or proceeding, domestic or foreign (collectively, “Proceedings”), pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened, that either (i) seeks to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of, or otherwise challenge any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein, or (ii) would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except in the case of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), as set forth on Schedule 3.07(a).

(b) Each Company possesses all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all Governmental Authorities, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective businesses as now or proposed to be conducted (“Permits”), except where the failure to obtain such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no Company has received any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit, except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or as set forth on Schedule 3.07(b).

Section 3.08 Properties. Each Company has good and marketable title to all real property owned by it and good title to all personal property owned by it and good and valid title to all leasehold estates in real property and personal property being leased by it and all such property (real and personal) and interests are free and clear of all Liens, except (i) Permitted Liens, (ii) such as do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by any Company or (iii) such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.09 Taxes. All Tax returns required to be filed by the Companies have been filed and all such returns are true, complete, and correct in all material respects. All material Taxes that are due from the Companies have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. To the knowledge of each Company, there are no actual or proposed Tax assessments against the Companies that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Companies in respect of any material Tax liability for any period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any such period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all Federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto.

Section 3.10 Intellectual Property. Each Company owns, or is licensed under, and has the right to use, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of its businesses as now conducted and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of each Company, no claims or notices of any potential claim have been asserted by any person challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property by any Company or questioning the validity or effectiveness of the Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto (other than any claims that, if successful, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). To the knowledge of each Company, the use of such Intellectual Property by any Company will not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any other person, except for such use that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11 Financial Statements; Absence of Material Adverse Change. (a) The Companies maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) material transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) material transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences. Except as described in Schedule 3.11(a), since the end of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (1) no material weakness in the Companies’ internal

control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (2) no change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(b), the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Parent and its Subsidiaries, as of the respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes) and the requirements of Regulation S-X. The financial projections provided to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by Parent to be reasonable when made.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(c), since June 30, 2009, there has not been any material adverse change in the properties, business, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Companies taken as a whole.

Section 3.12 Solvency. On the Closing Date, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the Loans and the other Transactions, the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, (i) will be solvent, (ii) will have sufficient capital for carrying on their business and (iii) will be able to pay their debts as they mature. As used in this paragraph, the term “solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (w) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, are not less than the total amount required to pay the liabilities of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, on their total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured; (x) the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business; (y) assuming consummation of the incurrence of the Loans and the other Transactions, the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, are not incurring debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (z) the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in any business or transaction, and do not propose to engage in any business or transaction, for which their property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which any Loan Party is engaged.

Section 3.13 ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Company and each ERISA Affiliate has fulfilled its obligations, if any, under the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA with respect to each “pension plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), subject to Section 302 of ERISA which any Company or any ERISA Affiliate sponsors or maintains, or with respect to which it has (or within the last three years had) any obligation to make contributions, and each such plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No Company, nor to the knowledge of any Company, any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any unpaid liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for the payment of

premiums in the ordinary course) or to any such plan under Title IV of ERISA, except for such instances of liabilities that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.14 Labor Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14 or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no labor problem or dispute with the employees of any Company exists or to the knowledge of any Company, is threatened or imminent, and no Company is aware of any existing, threatened or imminent, labor disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, contractors or customers. To each Company’s knowledge, there is no employment-related charge, complaint, grievance, investigation, unfair labor practice claim, or inquiry of any kind, pending against any Company that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Company does not know of any valid basis for such a charge, complaint, grievance, investigation, unfair labor practice claim, or inquiry.

Section 3.15 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) No Company is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing, buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U).

(b) No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. The pledge of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Agreements does not violate such regulations.

Section 3.16 Investment Company Act, etc. No Company is (i) an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) subject to regulation under any applicable law (other than Regulation X) that limits its ability to incur, create, assume or permit to exist Indebtedness or grant any contingent obligation in respect of Indebtedness.

Section 3.17 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, each Company (i) is in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, (ii) has received and is in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of it under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct its respective businesses and (iii) has not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of Hazardous Materials, in each case except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive and comply with required permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. No Company has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.

Section 3.18 Collateral. (a) The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof enforceable against the Loan

Parties in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). In the case of the Pledged Equity (as defined in the Security Agreement), when stock certificates representing such Pledged Equity are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Security Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 3.18(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.18(a), the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for their respective Loan Obligations to the extent a Lien on such Collateral can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement, by filings to be made in respect of Intellectual Property in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or, in the case of the Pledged Equity, by possession or control, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Permitted Liens).

(b) Schedule 3.18(b) sets forth as of the Closing Date each aircraft leased and each aircraft owned by any Company.

Section 3.19 Certificates. Each certificate signed by any Officer of any Company and delivered to any Lender shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Company (and not individually by such officer) to such Lender with respect to the matters covered thereby.

Section 3.20 Insurance. Each Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Companies are engaged. No Company has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and no Company has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.20 sets forth the material insurance policies of each Company as of the Closing Date.

Section 3.21 Money Laundering Laws; Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. (a) (i) No Company or, to the knowledge of any Company, no director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of any Company, is aware or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by any such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; (ii) each Company and, to the knowledge of each Company, its Affiliates, have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith and with any other applicable anticorruption and antibribery

(b) (i) The operations of each Company are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”); and (ii) no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving any Company with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened, except in the case of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Administrative Agent, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 5.05 Restricted Payments. (a) Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(iv) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, contracts, licenses and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(v) purchase money obligations and Capital Lease Obligations not incurred in violation of this Agreement that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (a)(iii) above on the property financed with such Indebtedness;

(vi) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness and Permitted Third Lien Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or Permitted Third Lien Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

Section 5.07 Indebtedness. (a) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt); provided, however, that the Borrowers may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent that is a Guarantor or, upon such incurrence becomes a Guarantor, may incur Indebtedness if, in each case, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Parent’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 5.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, as the case may be, at the beginning of such Four Quarter Period.

(b) The Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (nor shall Parent permit any Guarantor to guarantee such Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of a Borrower unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Loans on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no such Indebtedness of a Borrower or a Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of a Borrower or a Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured.

(i) the incurrence by a Borrower or a Guarantor (and the Guarantee thereof by a Guarantor or a Borrower) of (A) Indebtedness under the Senior Note Documents in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $175,000,000 (which amount represents approximately $165,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Borrowers on the Closing Date from the issuance of the Senior Notes) less the aggregate amount of principal repayments made in respect thereof after the Closing Date (other than pursuant to succeeding clause (B)) and (B) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, defease, discharge or replace, Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A);

(iii) the incurrence by the Borrowers (and the Guarantee thereof by the Guarantors) of (A) the Loans under this Agreement, (B) the Exchange Notes under the Exchange Note Indenture; provided, however, the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes shall at no time exceed the aggregate principal amount of Loans converted into Exchange Notes in accordance with this Agreement (other than as a result of the capitalization of interest and less the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes repaid or prepaid after the issuance thereof) and (C) Permitted Third Lien Refinancing Indebtedness;

(iv) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, Attributable Debt or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any of the purchase price or cost of construction, installation, design, or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary (whether through the direct acquisition of such assets or the acquisition of Equity Interests of any Person owning such assets) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 at any time outstanding;

(v) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, defease, discharge or replace Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (a), clause (c)(ii), clause (c)(iii) or this clause (c)(v) of this Section 5.07;

(vi) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Parent and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (A) such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Loan Obligations, in the case of a Borrower, or, the Loan Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor, is evidenced by a note or other instrument and is pledged and delivered in accordance with the Collateral Agreements and (B)(x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person, or the sale

or other transfer of a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, that is not either Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness that was not permitted by this clause (vi);

(vii) the guarantee by a Borrower or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of a Borrower or a Guarantor that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 5.07;

(viii) Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of bankers’ acceptances, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar requirements (including Indebtedness represented by letters of credit for the account of Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, opened to provide security for any of the foregoing), workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits, performance, surety and similar bonds and completion guarantees, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(ix) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence, and cash management obligations and other Indebtedness in respect of netting services, overdraft protection and similar arrangements in each case in connection with deposit accounts incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with cash management activities;

(x) Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly used to repay the Loans and all other Loan Obligations in full;

(xi) Indebtedness (a) consisting of aircraft lessor financing of improvements or maintenance of aircraft or incurred in satisfaction of “return condition” obligations of Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries under aircraft leases, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $2,000,000 or (b) incurred in connection with the restructuring of aircraft leases if the present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of each such restructured aircraft lease and the principal and interest on the related Indebtedness so incurred is less than the present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of the related original aircraft lease, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10,000,000 less the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the preceding clause (a);

(xii) Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5,000,000;

(xiii) Indebtedness arising by reason of any judgment, decree or order, but not giving rise to an Event of Default, so long as such Indebtedness is adequately bonded and any appropriate legal proceedings which may have been duly initiated for the review of

such judgment decree on order shall not have been finally terminated or the period within such proceedings may be initiated shall not have expired;

(xiv) Indebtedness of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries to credit card processors in connection with credit card processing services incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(xv) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations that are incurred in the ordinary course of business (and not for speculative purposes) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $2,000,000; and

(xvi) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5,000,000.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.07, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xvi) of Section 5.07(c) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5.07, Parent, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to divide and classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) on the date of incurrence, and at any time and from time to time thereafter may at any time reclassify in any manner that complies with this Section 5.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Indebtedness under the Senior Note Indenture outstanding on the Closing Date and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (i) of Section 5.07(c) and (y) Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement will be deemed to have been incurred solely in reliance on the exception provided by clause (vi) of Section 5.07(c). Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Interests in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Interests for purposes of this Section 5.07 shall not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of Parent as accrued.

Section 5.08 Asset Sales. (a) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) other than in the case of a Casualty Event, Parent (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) other than in the case of a Casualty Event, at least 75% of the consideration therefor (which consideration shall not include any contingent payment obligations related to such Asset Sale, including, without limitation, earnout payments, purchase price adjustments, deferred purchase price payments and bonuses and other forms of compensation to employees or consultants) received by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or a combination thereof;

provided that the amount of (x) any liabilities (as shown on Parent’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans or any Loan Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary assumption agreement that releases Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability and (y) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 30 days of the receipt thereof converted by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this clause (ii).

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply such Net Proceeds to make a Capital Expenditure or an acquisition of other tangible long-term assets, in each case, that are used or useful in the then existing business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or make an offer to purchase outstanding First Lien Notes at par pursuant to the applicable First Lien Note Indenture. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, Parent may temporarily invest such Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $7,500,000, the Borrowers may apply such Excess Proceeds to make an offer to purchase outstanding First Lien Notes at par pursuant to the applicable First Lien Note Indenture. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of such offer, Parent may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Section 5.09 Transactions with Affiliates. (a) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(ii) Parent delivers to the Administrative Agent (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $3,000,000, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has either been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of Parent’s Board of Directors or has been approved in an opinion issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing as being fair to the Lenders from a financial point of view and (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10,000,000, an opinion as to the fairness to the Lenders of

such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions:

(i) any employment agreement or arrangements, incentive compensation plan, benefit arrangements or plan, severance or expense reimbursement arrangement entered into by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) transactions between or among Parent and/or its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries;

(v) any agreement in effect on the Closing Date and set forth on Schedule 5.09 or any transaction contemplated thereby (and any replacement or amendment of any such agreement so long as any such amendment or replacement thereof is not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the original agreement in effect on the Closing Date);

(vi) Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 5.05;

(vii) aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance contracts, dry lease contracts and engine lease contracts with Arrow Air in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and on terms that are no less favorable to Parent than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Parent with a Person that is not an Affiliate of Parent; provided that any contract involving aggregate consideration with a Fair Market Value in excess of $10,000,000 shall have been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of Parent’s Board of Directors; and

(viii) loans and advances made in compliance with clause (x) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

Section 5.10 Liens. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind against or upon any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, except Permitted Liens.

Section 5.11 Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 5.22, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (a) the corporate existence of Parent, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective Organizational Documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that Parent shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the loss thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, to satisfy their obligations under the Loans, the Loan Guarantees and this Agreement.

Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent to any Person (other than a Borrower or a Guarantor), except:

(a) if immediately after giving effect to such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition would have been permitted to be made under Section 5.05 if made on the date of such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition and the net cash proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 5.08;

(b) the issuance or sale of directors’ qualifying shares as required by applicable law; or

(c) the issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition of any such Equity Interest by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to another Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor.

Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all Lenders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment.

Section 5.17 Subsidiary Guarantees. If (a) Parent or any of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date, other than any Insurance Subsidiary, or (b) any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent Guarantees any Indebtedness of Parent or any other Restricted Subsidiary of Parent, then, in either case, Parent shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and:

(i) execute a Joinder Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee under Article VI, on a senior secured basis, all of the Borrowers’ Loan Obligations on the terms set forth in this Agreement;

(ii) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such amendments or supplements to the Collateral Agreements necessary in order to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected second priority security interest in the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary, subject to Permitted Liens, which are owned by a Borrower or a Guarantor and are required to be pledged pursuant to the Collateral Agreements;

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, this Section 5.22, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which Parent is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Agreement referring to “Parent” shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to Parent), and may exercise every right and power of Parent under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as Parent herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Parent shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of Parent’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, this Section 5.22.

Section 5.23 Exchange Notes. (a) At any time on or after March 31, 2010, upon the request of Lenders holding not less than $25,000,000 principal amount of Loans, the Borrowers shall promptly enter into the Exchange Note Indenture with a bank or trust company acting as indenture trustee thereunder (the “Exchange Note Trustee”), which Exchange Note Trustee shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than $500,000,000.

(b) On or prior to the tenth Business Day (or, in the case of the first issuance of Exchange Notes, the 30th day and, in any case, if later, the date of entry into the Exchange Note Indenture) following the written request (the “Exchange Request”) of any Lender to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly transmit such Exchange Request to the Borrowers) execute, and cause the Exchange Note Trustee to authenticate, and deliver to such Lender in accordance with the Exchange Note Indenture an Exchange Note bearing interest as set forth therein in exchange for such portion of such Lender’s Loans as shall be specified in the applicable Exchange Request, dated the date of the issuance of such Exchange Note, registered in the name specified by such Lender in the applicable Exchange Request, in a principal amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount (including any accrued and unpaid interest not required to be paid in cash) of the Loans for which such Exchange Note is exchanged; provided that no Exchange Notes will be issued in respect of the first Exchange Request until Lenders have given Exchange Requests with respect to Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to at least $25,000,000. Each Exchange Request shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.23, which shall be at least $1,000,000 and, if such Lender holds a Note or Notes, be accompanied by the Note or Notes to be exchanged for Exchange Notes. Any Notes delivered to the Borrowers under this Section 5.23 in exchange for Exchange Notes shall be canceled by the Borrowers (and, if applicable, replaced at the request of the applicable Lender with a Note in the appropriate reduced amount) and the corresponding

amount of the Lender’s Loan deemed repaid and the Exchange Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Note Indenture.

(c) As promptly as practicable following the first issuance of Exchange Notes, the Borrower shall enter into the Registration Rights Agreement.

(d) If a Default (but not an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of issuance of any Exchange Notes, any notices given or cure periods commenced while the Loan was outstanding shall be deemed given or commenced (as of the actual dates thereof) for all purposes with respect to the Exchange Note (with the same effect as if the Exchange Note had been outstanding as of the actual dates thereof).

Section 5.24 Amendments to Exchange Note Indenture. Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, amend, restate, modify or supplement the Exchange Note Indenture if the effect of any such amendment, restatement, modification or supplement is to:

(a) shorten the final Stated Maturity of the Exchange Notes or reduce the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Exchange Notes; or

(b) increase the yield to maturity of the Exchange Notes.

Section 5.25 Inspection Rights. Each Borrower shall permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent, who may be accompanied by representatives of the Lenders (or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Lender), to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and independent public accountants, in each case at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrowers; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the sole expense of the Borrowers at any time during normal business hours; and provided further, that the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 5.25 shall in all cases be limited to the extent required by applicable law and by the terms of any applicable confidentiality agreements with third parties. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give Parent and the Borrowers the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Borrowers’ independent public accountants.

ARTICLE VI
LOAN GUARANTEE

Section 6.01 The Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article VI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Loans, the Collateral Agreements, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, interest and premium on the Loans shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Loans, if any, if lawful, and all other

Loan Obligations hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of repayment of any Loans or any of such other Loan Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loans, this Agreement, the Collateral Agreements or the other Loan Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Secured Party with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrowers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of any Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against any Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Loan Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of the Loan Obligations or unless permitted by Section 6.06.

(c) Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay any and all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and invoiced attorneys’ fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Lenders and one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and regulatory counsel) and consultants) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of, or preservation of rights under, the Loans Documents (including under this Section 6.01).

(d) If the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Borrowers or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, this Loan Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to exercise any right of subrogation in relation to the Secured Parties in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Loan Obligations guaranteed hereby or until such Guarantor’s Loan Guarantee is released pursuant to Section 6.06. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Loan Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of this Loan Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Loan Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Loan Obligations as provided in Article VII, such Loan Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Loan Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to

seek contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Secured Parties under this Loan Guarantee.

(f) Each Loan Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Borrower for liquidation, reorganization, should any Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Borrower’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Loans are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Loans or the Loan Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Loans shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(g) In case any provision of this Loan Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(h) The Loan Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be (i) a senior secured obligation of such Guarantor and (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

(i) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Loan Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 6.02 The Loan Guarantee. Each Guarantor, and by its making of the Loans, each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Loan Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Loan Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article VI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Loan Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Loan Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed Loan Obligations to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 6.03 Execution and Additional Guarantors. If required by Section 5.17 the Borrowers shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 5.17 and this Article VI, to the extent applicable.

Section 6.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Secured Parties against the Borrowers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01; provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full.

Section 6.05 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Loan Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits

Section 6.06 Release of Guarantees. (a) A Loan Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Borrowers or the Secured Parties is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Loan Guarantee (i) if all of the Equity Interests issued by such Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person other than a Borrower or a Guarantor, (ii) if such Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (and, in each case of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the Borrowers otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.08, Section 5.13 and Section 5.22, as applicable, in connection with any such transaction), (iii) upon payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, on and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loans and all other Loan Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, or (iv) if such release has been consented in accordance with Section 9.02.

(b) In the case of a release of a Loan Guarantee pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (ii) above, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with in all material respects.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 8.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

(b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable law a security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 8.02 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Person 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, any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no 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) whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Administrative Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) (acting in accordance with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents), as it deems appropriate (it being understood that this provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto); provided that no 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, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No 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, or as any Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02). No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and no 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 hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement 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 merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other advisors 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 advisors.

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and the indemnification provisions contained herein shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the

Affiliates of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 8.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and Parent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Parent, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, and in consultation with Parent, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be a commercial lending or other financial institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII, Section 9.03 and Sections 9.08 to 9.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates 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 further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the

Borrowers or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.08 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, suits, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted primarily from such Agent’s or Related Party’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 8.08 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 9.01(b) below, shall be effective as provided in Section 9.01(b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may (subject to Section 9.01(d)) be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent (in a manner set forth in Section 9.01(a)) that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Borrowers may, in their respective sole discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to their respective approved procedures (including as set forth in Section 9.01(d)); provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (including by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address, telecopier number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d) Posting. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (ii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (iii) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at xxxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 9.01 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require.

To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.

Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the other Agents or the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, 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 any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent 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 any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be

construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Borrower or any other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, subject to Section 9.02(c), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers 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 Collateral Agreement) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or 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 (i));

(ii) reduce the principal amount, premium, including any Prepayment Premium, if any, of any Loan (or payable in connection with the prepayment of such Loan at a given time) or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(b)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of or the installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.08, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(b)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.10(b) or (c) or Section 9.02 in a manner that would alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

(v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 9.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their respective Loan Guarantees (except as expressly provided in Article VI), or limit the liability of all or substantially all of the Guarantors in respect of such Loan Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Agreements or alter the relative priorities of the Loan Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Collateral Agreements (except in connection with securing additional Loan Obligations equally and ratably with the other Loan Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each Lender; or

(viii) change Section 9.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder without the written consent of each Lender;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.13(b) is complied with, and (B) the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Required Lenders to the extent provided in Section 5.6 of the Intercreditor Agreement and the proviso to Section 9.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand (as provided in clause (g) below in this Section 9.03):

(i) all reasonable costs and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and, to the extent GSO Capital Partners LP and its Affiliates (collectively, “GSO”) hold at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time, GSO, including the reasonable fees,

charges and disbursements of (x) one counsel (and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and regulatory counsel) for GSO and (y) one counsel (and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and regulatory counsel) for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration of the Loans and Commitments, the perfection and maintenance of the Liens securing the Collateral and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated);

(ii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in connection with any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, in which action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the judgment of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to defend or uphold the Liens granted by the Collateral Agreements (including any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance of the Collateral with any applicable law);

(iii) all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Lenders and one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and regulatory counsel) and consultants) incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03(a), or in connection with the Loans made hereunder and the collection of the Loan Obligations, including all such reasonable and invoiced expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan Obligations; and

(iv) all Other Taxes in respect of the Loan Documents.

(b) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related expenses, including reasonable Advisors fees, charges and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, (ii) any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any past, present or future non-compliance

with, or violation of, or liability under, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits applicable to any Company or Subsidiary thereof, or any Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business, or any property presently or formerly owned, leased, or operated by any Company or Subsidiary thereof or their predecessors in interest, (v) the environmental condition of any property owned, leased, or operated by any Company or subsidiary thereof at any time, or the applicability of any applicable law relating to such property, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission of any Company or Subsidiary thereof, (vi) the imposition of any environmental Lien encumbering any real property, (vii) the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the syndication of the Loans and the Commitments) or (viii) any actual or prospective action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or related costs or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have primarily resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any affected Lender, which consent(s) will not be unreasonably withheld, the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim naming any Indemnitee in respect of the subject matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 9.03(b) unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of such Indemnitee.

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and any other Loan Obligations, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, 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 Agents or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(e) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agents under Sections 9.03(a) or (b) in accordance with Section 9.03(g), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents 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 (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents in its capacity as such. For purposes of this Section 9.03(e), a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee 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 the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(g) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than 10 days after demand therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.04(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject (other than assignments to an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) to the acknowledgment of the Administrative Agent (such acknowledgment not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that:

(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (B) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, 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 not be less than $1,000,000;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

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

(iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(v) all assignments made by any Lender of all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be by novation.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance 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 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 of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 9.03).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative 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 Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.04(d). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(e).

(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Person to sell participations to any Person (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof or a natural Person) (a

“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 9.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.10(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations; provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with the Borrowers or any other Person, except as required by applicable law.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04(g) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, Administrative Agent for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(h) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 9.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation under the Loan Documents and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Article VIII and Sections 2.11, 8.06, 9.03 and 9.08 to 9.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time

and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopy or email) in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in

any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). 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 by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.10.

Section 9.11 Headings; No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. This Agreement may not be used to interpret any other loan or debt agreement or instrument of any Company or of any other Person. Any such loan or debt agreement or instrument may not be used to interpret this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent 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 Approved 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 by any subpoena or similar legal process, (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 9.12, 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 the Borrower and their obligations, (iii) any actual or prospective investor in a special purpose funding vehicle or (iv) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Loan or Loan Party, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or any Subsidiary. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of the Loan Documents and information about the Loan Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the financing community, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” shall mean all information received from any Borrower relating to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its business that is identified at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 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 to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan 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 in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan 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 but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.14 Assignment and Acceptance. To become a party to this Agreement, each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent and any other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance duly executed by such Lender, the Borrowers (if the Borrowers’ consent to such assignment is required hereunder) and the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.15 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Loan Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection or loss of priority of any Liens on any or all of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Loan Obligations;

(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Loan Parties.

Section 9.16 Waiver of Defenses; Absence of Fiduciary Duties. (a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses available to it as a Guarantor arising out of the joint and several nature of its respective duties and obligations hereunder (including any defense contained in Article VI).

(b) Each of the Loan Parties agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents and any communications in connection therewith, the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and each Lender, special purpose funding vehicle and Agent, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Lender, special purpose funding vehicle or any Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

Section 9.17 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 9.18 Judgment Currency. (a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 9.18, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars.

Section 9.19 Other Liens On Collateral; Terms of Intercreditor Agreement; Etc. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE SENIOR NOTE DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.19 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

Section 9.20 Release of Liens. (a) At such time as all of the Loans and the other Loan Obligations (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements, and the Collateral Agreements and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Collateral Agreements shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 5.08, (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 9.02), (iii) constituting property owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its Obligations under the Loan Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.06 or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Collateral Agreement; provided that no Lien shall be released pursuant to this Section 9.20(b) unless the Lien on the respective Collateral granted to the collateral agent under each of the First Lien Note Indenture and the Permitted Third Lien Refinancing Indebtedness (to the extent that any such Indebtedness is outstanding) is released contemporaneously. Upon request by the Administrative

Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.20.

(c) To the extent the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders to the extent required by Section 9.02) waive the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the sale of any Collateral, or any Collateral is sold as permitted by this Agreement (other than to Parent or a Subsidiary thereof), such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any actions deemed appropriate in order to effect the foregoing.
