For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other rate shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

(i) each Lender having a Senior Interim Cash Pay Loan Commitment made a loan or loans (each a “Senior Interim Cash Pay Loan”) in a single draw on the Original Closing Date to the Borrower in Dollars, which Senior Interim Cash Pay Loans did not exceed for any such Lender the Senior Interim Cash Pay Loan Commitment of such Lender and in the aggregate equaled (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement) $1,550,000,000; and

(ii) each Lender having a Senior Interim PIK Loan Commitment made a loan or loans (each a “Senior Interim PIK Loan”) in a single draw on the Original Closing Date to the Borrower in Dollars, which Senior Interim PIK Loans did not exceed for any such Lender the Senior Interim PIK Loan Commitment of such Lender and in the aggregate equaled $2,750,000,000.

On the Closing Date and effective as of the Original Closing Date, the Borrower and the Lenders shall reduce the Senior Interim Cash Pay Loan Commitments such that the Senior Interim Cash Pay Loan Commitments shall be amended to be the respective amounts set forth opposite each Lender’s name on Schedule 1.1(b) hereto.

Prepayments of Senior PIK Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Senior PIK Loans.

On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay all then unpaid Loans in full in Dollars.

(b) Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that (A) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (B) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply).

2.2. Maximum Number of Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date, provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than 30 Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement.

2.3. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower gave the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office on the Original Closing Date, the notice of the Borrowing of the Senior Interim Loans. Such notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) specified (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Interim Loans to be borrowed, $3,750,000,000 of which was allocated to the Senior Interim Cash Pay Loans (the “Senior Interim Cash Pay Loans Requested Amount”) (such Senior Interim Cash Pay Loans Requested Amount not to exceed the aggregate Senior Interim Cash Pay Loan Commitments of all Lenders) and $2,750,000,000 of which was allocated to the Senior Interim PIK Loans (the “Senior Interim PIK Loans Requested Amount”) (such Senior Interim PIK Loans Requested Amount not to exceed the aggregate Senior Interim PIK Loan Commitments of all Lenders), (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which was the Original Closing Date) and (iii) the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent promptly gave each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing)

of the Borrowing of Senior Interim Loans, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

2.4. Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender made available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing made on the Original Closing Date in the manner provided below; provided that such funds were made available at such earlier time as agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transaction.

(b) Each Lender made available all amounts it was to fund to the Borrower under the Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent made available to the Borrower, by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent had been notified by any Lender prior to the date of the Borrowing that such Lender did not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) made available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender did not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to, fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

2.5. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Loans, in Dollars.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal (including any PIK Interest Amounts) or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6. Conversions and Continuations.

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option, subject to Section 2.10, on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 of the outstanding principal amount of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period, provided that (i) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (ii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation and (iii) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (i) three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans (other than in the case of a notice

delivered on the Original Closing Date pursuant to clause (c), which shall be deemed to be effective on the Original Closing Date) or (ii) one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b) If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may deliver a Notice of Conversion or Continuation pursuant to which the Borrower elects to irrevocably continue the outstanding principal amount of any Loans subject to an interest rate Hedging Obligations as LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period until the expiration of the term of such applicable Hedging Obligations.

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any

changes arising on or after the Original Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any increase or reduction attributable to Taxes, described in paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10) because of (x) any change since the Original Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Original Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being

made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If, after the Original Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy occurring after the Original Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Original Closing Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and franchise and excise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes described under clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue

or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if solely as a result of the consummation of the Senior Take-out Notes Offering, a Lender suffers loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) (the “Senior Take-out Notes Loss”) incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall not be required to be pay any amount to compensate such Lender for its Senior Take-out Notes Loss.

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b) or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 5.4.

2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

2.14. Permanent Refinancing.

(a) On the Interim Loan Conversion Date:

(i) all outstanding Senior Interim Cash Pay Loans shall be converted into term loans (each, a “Senior Cash Pay Term Loan”) having an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Senior Interim Cash Pay Loans, in each case to the extent such Loans are not repaid in whole or in part in cash on or prior to such date; and

(ii) all outstanding Senior Interim PIK Loans shall be converted into term loans (each, a “Senior PIK Term Loan”) having an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Senior Interim PIK Loans, in each case to the extent such Loans are not repaid in whole or in part in cash on or prior to such date.

(b) (i) On the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month (each, an “Exchange Date”), or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day, on or after the Interim Loan Conversion Date, at the option of the applicable Lender, (A) the Senior Cash Pay Term Loans may be exchanged in whole or in part for one or more Senior Cash Pay Notes having

62 an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Senior Cash Pay Term Loans and (B) the Senior PIK Term Loans may be exchanged in whole or in part for one or more Senior PIK Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Senior PIK Term Loans; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to issue Senior Cash Pay Notes or Senior PIK Notes, as the case may be, until the Borrower shall have received requests to issue at least $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and that the amount of Term Loans exchanged for Senior Notes must be in excess of $1,000,000 in principal amount.

(ii) Such Lender shall provide the Borrower prior irrevocable written notice of such election (each such notice, an “Exchange Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2, as applicable, at least five Business Days prior to the date of exchange. The Exchange Notice shall specify the principal amount of Senior Term Loans to be exchanged and, subject to the terms of the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture (as the case may be), the name of the proposed registered holder and the amount of each Senior Note requested. Senior Term Loans exchanged for Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed repaid and canceled, and the Senior Notes so issued shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture (as the case may be). The Senior Notes shall be issued in the form set forth in the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture (as the case may be).

(iii) As more particularly provided in the Senior Refinancing Indenture, (A) Senior Cash Pay Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Refinancing Indenture shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Senior Cash Pay Term Loans (unless a Lender shall elect to have the interest rate fixed at the rate applicable to Senior Cash Pay Term Loans in effect on the date of such exchange if necessary to effect an actual bona fide sale of such Senior Cash Pay Notes on such date to a third party that is not an Affiliate of such Lender), (B) Senior PIK Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Refinancing Indenture shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Senior PIK Term Loans (unless a Lender shall elect to have the interest rate fixed at the rate applicable to Senior PIK Term Loans in effect on the date of such exchange if necessary to effect an actual bona fide sale of such Senior PIK Notes on such date to a third party that is not an Affiliate of such Lender), and (C) Senior Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Refinancing Indenture (I) shall mature on September 24, 2015 and (II) shall be redeemable as set forth in the Senior Refinancing Indenture and the applicable form of Senior Notes attached thereto.

(iv) Not later than five Business Days after the Exchange Date following delivery of any Exchange Notice, the Borrower shall (A) deliver a written notice to the trustee under the Senior Refinancing Indenture (the “Trustee”), directing such Trustee to authenticate and deliver Senior Cash Pay Notes and/or Senior PIK Notes as specified in the Exchange Notice and (B) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect delivery of such Senior Cash Pay Notes and/or Senior PIK Notes to the requesting Lender.

(c) The Borrower agrees that as a condition to the effectiveness of the exchange of Senior Term Loans for Senior Notes:

63

(i) The Borrower shall have selected a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Lenders to act as Trustee.

(ii) The Borrower shall have issued the Senior Notes pursuant to the Senior Refinancing Indenture substantially in the applicable form set forth therein, and the Borrower and each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered the Senior Refinancing Indenture.

(iii) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have provided to the Administrative Agent copies of resolutions of its board of directors approving the execution and delivery of the Senior Refinancing Indenture and, in the case of the Borrower, the issuance of the Senior Notes, together with a customary certificate of the secretary of the Borrower or such Guarantor certifying such resolutions.

(iv) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered the Senior Refinancing Registration Rights Agreement.

(v) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have provided to the Lenders copies of resolutions of its Board of Directors approving the execution and delivery of the Senior Refinancing Registration Rights Agreement, together with a customary certificate of the secretary of the Borrower or such Guarantor certifying such resolutions.

(d) If the foregoing conditions set forth in Section 2.14(c) are not satisfied on the Interim Loan Conversion Date, then the Lenders shall retain all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement until such conditions are satisfied and the Senior Term Loans are so exchanged for Senior Notes. The Borrower agrees to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.14(c) no later than ten Business Days after receipt of the first Exchange Notice.

(e) Nothing in this Section 2.14 shall prevent or limit the ability of the Borrower from repaying or refinancing the Loans in any other manner not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

SECTION 3. [Reserved]

SECTION 4. Fees; Commitments

4.1. Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, solely for its own account, an annual administrative fee equal to $100,000 per annum, payable annually in advance on the Original Closing Date for the twelve-month period following the Original Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof until all Loans and all Obligations with respect thereto have been paid in full.

4.2. [Reserved]

4.3. Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Senior Interim Loan Commitments terminated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Original Closing Date.

SECTION 5. Payments

5.1. Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, three Business Days prior to or (ii) in the case of ABR Loans, one Business Day prior to, the date of such prepayment; (b) each partial prepayment of (i) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $5,000,000 and (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be applied to the Cash Pay or PIK Loans, as specified by the Borrower on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Cash Pay Loans or PIK Loans, as applicable, outstanding at such time. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

(b) At the end of any “accrual period” (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) ending after the fifth anniversary of the Original Closing Date (each, an “AHYDO redemption date”), the Borrower may pay in cash all accrued but unpaid interest and all accrued but unpaid “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) on each Senior PIK Term Loan and/or Senior PIK Note then outstanding up to the Optional Interest Repayment Amount, minus $50,000,000 (each such redemption, an “Optional Interest Repayment”). The “Optional Interest Repayment Amount” shall mean, as of each AHYDO redemption date, the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest and all accrued and unpaid “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) with respect to the applicable Senior PIK Term Loan or Senior PIK Note, over (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) the “issue price” (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the applicable Senior PIK Term Loan or Senior PIK Note multiplied by (ii) the “yield to maturity” (as defined in the Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(i)) of such Senior PIK Term Loan or Senior PIK Note.

5.2. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Loan Prepayments. (i) Prior to Interim Loan Conversion Date, on each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after its receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below Loans with a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds

65 from such Prepayment Event; provided that the Borrower may, to the extent required by the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, apply such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay, repay or repurchase Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement within three Business Days after receipt thereof, prior to the application of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay Loans.

(ii) At any time on or after the Interim Loan Conversion Date, the provisions of Section 5.2(a)(i) shall no longer be operative.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) Application to Repayment Amounts. Subject to Section 5.2(h), each prepayment of Senior Interim Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) the proceeds of which are derived from the Take-out Notes or the sale of Senior Cash Pay Notes shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Cash Pay Loans and the proceeds of which are derived from the sale of Senior PIK Notes shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior PIK Loans; provided that if all Senior Cash Pay Loans or Senior PIK Loans have previously been repaid, any such proceeds from Senior Notes shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the aggregate principal amount of any remaining Loans. Subject to Section 5.2(h), each prepayment of Senior Interim Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) the proceeds of which are derived from any incurrence of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 9.7(a) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Interim Loans and Senior Subordinated Interim Loans. Subject to Section 5.2(h), with respect to each such prepayment, the Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for making such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each Lender.

(d) Application to Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by Section 5.2(a) or required or permitted by Section 9.8(b) the Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 or pursuant to Section 9.8(b) in respect of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts

66 of such type. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

(g) [Reserved]

(h) Rejection Right. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Loans of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Loans. Any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower.

5.3. Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in Dollars and all other payments under each Loan Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Loan Document, be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, in the Administrative Agent’s sole

67 discretion, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4. Net Payments.

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the applicable Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of a Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender or Agent, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof.

(b) The Borrower shall timely pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and Lender (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority) with regard to any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and Lender within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which the first payment to such Non-U.S. Lender is due hereunder two copies of either (x) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding

68 tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (together with a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement or (z) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and any attachments (including the forms described in subclauses (x) and (y) above, as applicable); and

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and Administrative Agent and from time to time as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 13.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Administrative Agent and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Each Lender and Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is organized, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to such Borrower or Guarantor (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested by the Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without such withholding or at such reduced rate, provided that such Lender or Agent is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and such documentation is necessary in order for such exemption or reduction to apply.

(g) If any Lender or Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received and retained a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith

69 judgment of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse after-tax financial position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or Agent in the event the Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. A Lender or Agent shall claim any refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that it determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. No Lender or Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations or any other information it deems confidential to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (h) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(h) If the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, each Lender and Agent agree to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request to minimize any amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.4. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(h). Nothing in this Section 5.4(h) shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person.

(i) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it can legally do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender or Agent is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Original Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(j) The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

5.5. Computations of Interest. Interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6. Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

No Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has an Unfunded Current Liability that would, individually or when taken together with any other liabilities referenced in this Section 8.11(a), be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to Plans that are Multiemployer Plans (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), the representations and warranties in this Section 8.11(a), other than any made with respect to (i) liability under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or (ii) liability for termination or reorganization of such Plans under ERISA, are made to the best knowledge of the Borrower.

(x) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (23) of this Section 9.7(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.7(a) hereof, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in clauses (1) through (23) of this Section 9.7(b) or under Section 9.7(a) hereof; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date shall be treated as incurred on the Closing Date under clause (1) of Section 9.7(b) hereof; and

(y) at the time of incurrence, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 9.7(a) and 9.7(b) hereof.

(d) Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discounts and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 9.7.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

9.8. Asset Sales.

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate, directly or indirectly, an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as reflected in the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual have taken place on the date of such balance sheet, as determined by the Borrower) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Borrower and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5% of the Borrower’s Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(1) to permanently reduce:

(A) Obligations under Senior Indebtedness which is Secured Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(B) Obligations under (i) this Agreement, or (ii) other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) through open-market purchases or by making an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the procedures set forth below; provided that to the extent the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary reduces or makes an offer to prepay, as applicable, Obligations under Senior Indebtedness other than the Loans, the Borrower shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Loans as provided under Section 5.1 by making an offer in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer to all Lenders to equally and ratably reduce or make an offer to prepay, as applicable, the Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of the Loans that would otherwise be prepaid; or

(C) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary (or any Affiliate thereof);

(2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that if such business is not a Restricted Subsidiary, such Investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) an Investment in properties (c) capital expenditures or (d) acquisitions of other assets, in each of clauses (a) through (d), that are used or useful in a Similar Business or that replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

provided that, in the case of clause (2) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Borrower or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Asset Sale Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Asset Sale Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated

for any reason before such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are applied, then such Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(c) Any Net Asset Sale Proceeds that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 9.8(b) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million, the Borrower shall make an offer to all Lenders, holders of the Senior Notes or holders of the Senior Take-out Notes, as applicable, and, if required or permitted by the terms of any other Senior Indebtedness, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans, Senior Notes or Senior Take-out Notes, as applicable, and such Senior Indebtedness that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Refinancing Indenture and the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture. The Borrower will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $200.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Senior Refinancing Indenture, as applicable, with a copy to the Administrative Agent.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans, Senior Notes or Senior Take-out Notes, as applicable, and any other Senior Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement, the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture, as applicable. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans, Senior Notes or Senior Take-out Notes, as applicable, or the Senior Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee for the Senior Take-out Notes shall select the Senior Take-out Notes and the Administrative Agent shall select the Loans or Senior Notes, as applicable, and such other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (so long as an authorized denomination results therefrom) based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Loans, Senior Notes or Senior Take-out Notes, as applicable, or such Senior Indebtedness which have been accepted for repayment by the applicable Lender. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Additionally, the Borrower may, at its option, make an Asset Sale Offer using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after consummation of such Asset Sale; provided that such Asset Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $25.0 million. Upon consummation of such Asset Sale Offer, any Net Asset Sale Proceeds not required to be used to purchase Loans, Senior Notes or Senior Take-out Notes, as applicable, shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds.

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds pursuant to this Section 9.8, the holder of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds may apply such Net Asset Sale Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Asset Sale Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

9.9. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Borrower 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 of the Borrower (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $40.0 million, unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and

(2) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $80.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Borrower approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 9.9(a).

(b) The provisions of Section 9.9(a) hereof shall not apply to the following:

(1) transactions between or among the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 9.5 hereof and the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(4) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided for the benefit of, former, current or future officers, directors, employees or consultants of Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) transactions in which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Administrative Agent a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less

favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;

(6) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Closing Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Lenders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Closing Date);

(7) the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement or its equivalent (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Closing Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (7) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lenders when taken as a whole;

(8) the Transaction, the Senior Take-out Notes Offering and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transaction and the Senior Take-out Notes Offering;

(10) the issuance or transfer of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower to any Permitted Lender or to any former, current or future director, officer, employee or consultant (or their respective estates, investment funds, investment vehicles, spouses or former spouses) of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Subsidiaries;

(11) sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, in connection with any Receivables Facility;

(12) payments by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any of the Investors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower in good faith;

(13) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted

100

Subsidiaries and employment agreements, stock option plans and other similar arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case, are approved by the Borrower in good faith;

(14) investments by the Investors in securities of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Investors in connection therewith) so long as (i) the investment is being offered generally to other investors on the same or more favorable terms and (ii) the investment constitutes less than 5% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities;

(15) payments to and from, and transactions with, any joint venture in the ordinary course of business; and

9.10. Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Loans and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

(2) in all other cases, the Loans or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens;

except that the foregoing shall not apply to (a) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Credit Facilities, including any letter of credit relating thereto, that are permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 9.7(b) and (b) Liens which are incurred to secure Obligations in respect of any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant described above under Section 9.7; provided that, with respect to Liens securing Obligations permitted under this subclause (b), at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio would be no greater

101

than 4.50 to 1.00. Any Lien which is granted to secure the Loans under this Section 9.10 shall be discharged at the same time as the discharge of the Lien (other than through the exercise of remedies with respect thereto) that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Loans.

9.11. Corporate Existence. Subject to Sections 9.14 and 9.15, the Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Borrower 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 Borrower in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

9.12. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless otherwise prepaid in accordance with Section 5.2(a) or Section 9.8 hereof, the Borrower shall make an offer to prepay all of the Loans pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Prepayment”) equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Lenders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, to each Lender to the address of such Lender appearing in the Register with a copy to the Administrative Agent, with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 9.12 and that such Lender has the right to require the Borrower to prepay such Lender’s Loans;

(2) the prepayment amount and the prepayment date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”);

(3) that any Loans not properly accepted for prepayment pursuant to this Section 9.12 will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) that unless the Borrower defaults in the prepayment of the Change of Control Prepayment, all Loans accepted for prepayment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Prepayment Date;

(5) that Lenders shall be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrower to prepay such Loans, provided that the Borrower receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of Loans accepted

102

for prepayment, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans prepaid; and

(6) the other instructions, as determined by the Borrower, consistent with this Section 9.12, that a Lender must follow.

The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Lender receives such notice. If (a) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Lender fails to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is defective, such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Loans as to all other Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

(b) On the Change of Control Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law,

(i) prepay all Loans, or portions thereof, accepted for prepayment in accordance with this Section 9.12, pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Prepayment in respect of all Loans or portions thereof so accreted for prepayment; and

(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent, an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent stating that such Loans or portions thereof have been prepaid by the Borrower.

(c) The Borrower shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third-party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 9.12 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Borrower and repays all Loans accepted for prepayment pursuant to such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(d) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 9.12, any prepayment pursuant to this Section 9.12 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.2, 5.5 and 5.6 hereof.

9.13. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not permit any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries guarantee capital markets debt securities of the Borrower or any Guarantor), other than a Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary or a Receivables Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guarantor unless:

103

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit A providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, provided that:

(a) if the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to such Indebtedness, the Guarantee shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the Loans are subordinated to such Indebtedness; and

(b) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Loans; and

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives, and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

provided that this Section 9.13 shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) guarantees of any Receivables Facility by any Receivables Subsidiary and (iii) any guarantee relating to the Senior Take-out Notes Offering .

9.14. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets.

(a) The Borrower shall not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Borrower is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(2) the Successor Borrower, if other than the Borrower, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Borrower under the Loans pursuant to a supplemental agreement or

104

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists;

(4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four quarter period,

(A) the Successor Borrower would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 9.7(a) hereof, or

(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Borrower, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

(5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case Section 9.14(c)(1)(B) hereof shall apply, shall have by supplemental agreement confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Agreement and the Loans; and

(6) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental agreements, if any, comply with this Agreement and, if a supplemental agreement is required in connection with such transaction, such supplement shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Successor Borrower shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Borrower under this Agreement, the Guarantees, the Loans, the Senior Refinancing Indenture and the Senior Notes as applicable. Notwithstanding clauses (3) and (4) of Section 9.14(a) hereof,

(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Borrower, and

(2) the Borrower may merge with an Affiliate of the Borrower, as the case may be, solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in a State of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

(c) Subject to certain limitations described in this Agreement governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a Guarantor, no Guarantor shall, and the Borrower shall not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Borrower or Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

106

case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Borrower’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 9.14 hereof.

(iii) third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the applicable Loan Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 12. The Agents

12.1. Appointment.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12 (other than Section 12.1(c) with respect to the Joint Lead Arrangers and Section 12.9 with respect to the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Each of the Syndication Agent and Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, each in its capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 12.

111

12.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

12.3. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

12.4. Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt (as applicable) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt (as applicable), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or

112

in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 on the Original Closing Date, each Lender that signed the Original Senior Unsecured Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Original Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

12.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt (as applicable), provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt (as applicable) or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

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

113

of the Administrative Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

12.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt (as applicable) (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Required Holders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such

114

Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

12.8. Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Guarantor, and any other Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

12.9. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 11.1 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, and upon the transfer by the retiring (or retired) Agent to the successor Agent of all sums, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Agent under the Loan Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 (including 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as an Administrative Agent.

12.10. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all

115

amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

12.11. [Reserved].

12.12. Agents under Guarantee. Each Guaranteed Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Guaranteed Parties with respect to the Guarantees. Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Guaranteed Party, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Guarantor from the Guarantee, or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented.

12.13. Right to Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Guaranteed Party hereby agree that no Guaranteed Party shall have any right individually to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Guarantee may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties.

SECTION 13. Miscellaneous

116

thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate and only the consent of the Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the “default rate” or amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, or amend or modify any provisions of Section 5.3(a) (with respect to the ratable allocation of any payments only) and 13.8(a) and 13.20, or make any Loan, interest, Fee or other amount payable in any currency other than expressly provided herein, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (or, in the case of any Fees, the written consent of the Administrative Agent), or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Required Holders,” consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.3) or alter the order of application set forth Section 11.14, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement) except with the prior written consent of each Lender or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby or (vi) amend or modify any provision of the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture (as the case may be) that requires (or would, if any Senior Notes were outstanding, require) the approval of all holders of Senior Notes and/or Senior Take-out Notes (as the case may be), without the written consent of each Lender and holder directly and adversely affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without notice to or the consent of any Lenders and without any further action necessary by the parties hereto, effective as of the Initial Loan Maturity Date, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms contained in Sections 8, 9 and 11 of this Agreement and the corresponding terms contained in the Senior Refinancing Indenture, such provisions of this Agreement shall be replaced with corresponding provisions of the Senior Refinancing Indenture, and, to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing, each defined term used in the sections of the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture (as the case may be) shall have the meaning set forth in the Senior Refinancing Indenture or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture (as the case may be), subject to the terms of Section 1.2(h), as applicable. The applicable provisions of the Senior Refinancing Indenture

117

or the Senior Take-out Notes Indenture as described in Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2, respectively, to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated and set forth in this Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent will (and the Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to), at the request of the Borrower, enter into such technical amendments and other modifications to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantees and no further action by such Guarantor, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon: (1)(A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; (B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; (C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 9.5 hereof and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” hereunder; or (D) the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (2) such Guarantor delivering to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(e) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if any amendment, waiver or other modification would by its terms disproportionately affect the holders of any one or more classes of Required Debt, such amendment, waiver or other modification shall also require the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding amount of such class or classes of Required Debt, voting as a single class and (ii) if any amendment, waiver or other modification would only affect the holders of any one class of Required Debt, consent of the respective holders, if applicable, holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding amount of such class of Required Debt, if any are outstanding, and not the consent of the Required Holders of a majority of the Required Debt, as the case may be, acting as a single class, shall be required.

13.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, as counsel to the Agents, or such other counsel retained with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent from, any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to such indemnified Persons (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Person may retain its own counsel), related to the Transaction (including, without limitation, the Merger) or, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law (other than by such indemnified person or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents) or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Real Estate (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, or (ii) any material breach of any Loan Document by the party to be indemnified. No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any such Person have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Original Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or any other Person, whether or not any Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 is otherwise a party thereto. All amounts payable under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable retail. The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

13.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(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

120

that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to (1) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, (2) if an Event of Default under Section 11.1(I)(a), (b), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee or (3) to a Person not more than 14 days following the Original Closing Date to the extent the Borrower has previously consented to an allocation of Loans of Commitments in an amount greater than or equal to the amount assigned to a Person in such time period; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, 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 in excess thereof or, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably

121

withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1(I)(a), (b), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing; provided further that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax form; and

(E) prior to the Interim Loan Conversion Date, no Committed Lender shall assign to another Lender (other than another Committed Lender) any Loans without the Borrower’s prior consent if, after giving effect to such assignment, the Committed Lenders would hold, in the aggregate, less than 51% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, 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 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 13.6.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant

122

to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 13.1. that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations

123

under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.6 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. The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 or H-2, as the case may be, evidencing the Loans, owing to such Lender.

(e) Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f) 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.

(g) SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.

124

Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) no SPV shall be entitled to any greater rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV and (y) each SPV agrees to be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.

13.7. Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to

125

replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (c) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender the amount, if any, owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.1(b). In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.

13.8. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.1(I)(g) or (h), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Settlement Assets, except to effect Settlement Payments such Lender is obligated to make to a third party in respect of such Settlement Assets or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and such Lender). Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute

126

one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

13.11. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

13.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

13.13. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally:

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

(a) The Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or event of default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at an email address provided by the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided that: (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents. Nothing in this Section 13.17 shall prejudice the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

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

(b) The Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents, the Lenders and Transferees or Prospective Transferees and (ii) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY

130

OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties” and each an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents.

(d) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains only publicly available information.

13.18. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged

131

only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

13.20. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

13.21. Acknowledgements Relating to the Closing Date. Each Loan Party hereby (i) expressly acknowledges the terms of this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents executed by such Loan Party and (iii) acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under all such Loan Documents and agrees such Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, including with respect to the obligations of the Borrower as modified by this Agreement.
