NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended First Lien Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Borrowers and the Lenders party hereto agree that the First Lien Credit Agreement shall be amended on the Amendment Effective Date to reflect the changes which are attached as Exhibit A hereto (the First Lien Credit Agreement as amended hereby, the “Amended First Lien Credit Agreement”), such that on the Amendment Effective Date the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto which appear in bold and double underlined text (inserted

- 2 -

SECTION 3. Additional Agreements.

(a) As of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to the terms hereof, (i) each Exchanging Term Lender hereby agrees that an aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans equal to the amount notified to such Exchanging Term Lender by the Amendment Lead Arranger is hereby exchanged for Term B-1 Loans either through a cashless rollover or a cash settlement, as selected in such Exchanging Term Lender’s Lender Consent (and as such amount may be reduced by the Amendment Lead Arranger), (ii) the Borrowers hereby agree that all existing Notes in respect of Existing Term Loans (the “Existing Notes”) of any Exchanging Term Lender will, at the request of such Exchanging Term Lender, be exchanged for new Notes in respect of such Exchanging Term Lender’s Exchanged Term Loans, and (iii) each Exchanging Term Lender hereby agrees to promptly return the original Existing Notes to the Borrowers upon receipt of the new Notes described in the previous clause (ii).

(b) As of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to the terms hereof, (i) each Exchanging Term Lender hereby agrees that (notwithstanding Section 2.14 of the First Lien Credit Agreement) the aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans not being exchanged in accordance with Section 3(a), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all accrued and unpaid interest on its Existing Term Loans that are being exchanged in accordance with Section 3(a), in each case up to and including the Amendment Effective Date, will be repaid in full and (ii) the Borrowers hereby agree that the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Term Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to and including the Amendment Effective Date, of each Lender that does not execute and deliver a counterpart to this Amendment prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on June 2, 2015 (each, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), will be repaid in full (all Existing Term Loans being repaid hereunder, the “Refinanced Term Loans”).

(c) As of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to the terms hereof, each Additional Term Lender hereby agrees to make Term B-1 Loans equal to the amount notified to such Additional Term Lender by the Amendment Lead Arranger (but in no event greater than the amount such Person committed to make as Term B-1 Loans as set forth on its signature page hereto).

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Amendment do not constitute a novation but, rather, an amendment of the terms of pre-existing Indebtedness and related agreements, as evidenced by the Amended First Lien Credit Agreement. Each Refinancing Term Lender shall be a “Lender” under the First Lien Credit Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term B-1 Loans may not be reborrowed.

The waiver set forth in this Section 3(f) shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (i) except as expressly provided herein, be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or condition of the First Lien Credit Agreement or Amended First Lien Credit Agreement or (ii) prejudice any right or rights that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Amended First Lien Credit Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

Section 5.01(c); provided, that if such certification is not provided in accordance with Section 5.01(c), the Applicable Margin shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level I” as of the first day of the month following the end of the quarter for which the certification was not delivered until the date on which such certification is delivered (on which date, the Applicable Margin shall be set at the margin based upon the calculations disclosed by such certification); and

(b) at all times from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, a percentage per annum equal to with respect to Revolving Loans, the Term Loans, the LC Participation Fee and the Commitment Fee, as set forth below for the appropriate level:

provided that until a certified calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio is delivered for the fiscal quarter in which the First Amendment Effective Date occurs, the Applicable Margin shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level I.” Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, the Applicable Margin shall be re-determined quarterly on the first day of the month following the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of a certified calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio in accordance with Section 5.01(c); provided, that if such certification is not provided in accordance with Section 5.01(c), the Applicable Margin shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level I” as of the first day of the month following the end of the quarter for which the certification was not delivered until the date on which such certification is delivered (on which date, the Applicable Margin shall be set at the margin based upon the calculations disclosed by such certification).

In the event that the certified calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio previously delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) was inaccurate (and such inaccuracy is discovered while any Revolving Commitments or Term Loans are outstanding), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Commitment Fee, as applicable, for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee, as applicable, applied for such Applicable Period, then, to the extent any Revolving Commitments or Term Loans are outstanding at such time, (i) the Borrowers shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Administrative Agent the correct certified calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee, as applicable, shall be determined as if the Level for such higher Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee, as applicable, were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrowers shall within ten (10) Business Days of written demand thereof by the

Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or Commitment Fee owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Commitment Fee for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Margin in respect of any Extended Loan shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment.

The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any Loan Document, agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (ii) any reference herein to any person shall be construed to include such person’s successors and assigns (subject to any restrictions on assignments set forth herein), (iii) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (iv) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement, (v) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (vi) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights, and (vii) all references to the knowledge of any Group Member or facts known by any Group Member shall mean actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of such Person. Any Responsible Officer executing any Loan Document or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, so executes or certifies in his/her capacity as a Responsible Officer on behalf of the applicable Credit Party and not in any individual capacity.

(b) The term “enforceability” and its derivatives when used to describe the enforceability of an agreement shall mean that such agreement is enforceable except as enforceability may be limited by any Debtor Relief Law and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(c) Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the UCC shall be construed and defined as set forth in the UCC unless otherwise defined herein; provided, that to the extent that the UCC is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the UCC, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the UCC shall govern.

Section 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time and all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with GAAP, as in effect on the Closing Date. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to approval by the Required Lenders and the Borrower Agent); provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP immediately prior to such change therein, and the Borrower Agent shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within five (5) days after delivery of each certificate or financial report required hereunder that is affected thereby a written statement of a Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the differences (including any differences that would affect any calculations relating to the financial covenants as set forth in Section 6.08) that would have resulted if such financial statements had been prepared without giving effect to such change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including negative covenants, financials covenants and component definitions, GAAP will be deemed to treat operating leases and Capital Leases in a manner consistent with their current treatment under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries at “fair value,” as defined therein and (ii) the financial ratios and related definitions set forth in the Loan Documents shall be computed to exclude the application of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, 150 or 123r (to the extent that the pronouncements in Financial Accounting Standards No. 123r result in recording an equity award as a liability on a consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the circumstance where, but for the application of the pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all financial ratios and tests (including the Total Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated EBITDA) contained in this Agreement other than for purposes of calculating Excess Cash Flow that are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which any Subject Transaction occurs shall be calculated with respect to such Test Period and such Subject Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test (x) any Subject Transaction shall have occurred or (y) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have consummated any Subject Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that solely for purposes of calculating quarterly compliance with Section 6.08, the date of the required calculation shall be the last day of the Test Period, and no Subject Transaction occurring thereafter shall be taken into account).

For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including the Total Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent compliance with a financial ratio or test is calculated prior to the date financial statements are first delivered under Section 5.01(a) or (b), such calculation shall use the latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a).

Section 1.05 Resolution of Drafting Ambiguities. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it was represented by counsel in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, that it and its counsel reviewed and participated in the preparation and negotiation hereof and thereof and that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation hereof or thereof.

Section 1.06 Limited Condition Acquisition. For purpose of (i) measuring the relevant ratios and baskets with respect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any Incremental Facilities) or Liens or the making of any acquisitions or other Investments, Dividends, Restricted Debt Payments, Asset Sales or other sales or dispositions of assets or fundamental changes or the designation of any Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries or (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, if the Borrower Agent has made an LCA Election with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, basket, representation or warranty, such ratio, basket, representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been complied with. If the Borrower Agent has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on (A) a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition

Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated and (B) on a standalone basis without giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith.

Section 1.07 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time.

Section 1.08 Deliveries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whenever any document, agreement or other item is required by any Loan Document to be delivered on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.09 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

Section 1.10 Currency Generally. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, or 6.09, with respect to any Indebtedness, Liens, Investments, Asset Sales or other dispositions, Restricted Debt Payments in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time Holdings or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries is contractually obligated to incur, make or acquire such Indebtedness, Liens, Investments, Asset Sales or other dispositions or Restricted Debt Payment (so long as, at the time of entering into the contract to incur, make or acquire such Indebtedness, Liens, Investments, Asset Sales or other dispositions, Restricted Debt Payment, it was permitted hereunder) and once contractually obligated to be incurred, made or acquired, the amount of such Indebtedness, Liens, Investments, Asset Sales or other dispositions, Restricted Debt Payment, shall be always deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date, regardless of later changes in currency exchange rates.

Section 1.11 Basket Amounts and Application of Multiple Relevant Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any dollar, number, percentage or other amount available under any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be accumulated, added, combined, aggregated or used together by any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (b) any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such action or event but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) described in Sections 6.01(a) through (z), the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in one

of the above clauses (or any portion thereof) and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to any other clause. For purposes of determining compliance with any one of Section 6.02, 6.03, 6.05, or 6.09, in the event that any Liens, Investments, Asset Sales or other dispositions or Restricted Debt Payments meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions permitted pursuant to any clause of such Section, the Borrower Agent shall be entitled to redesignate use of any such clauses from time to time in its sole discretion at such time.

ARTICLE II.

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments.

(a) Closing Date Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agreed on the Closing Date, severally and not jointly, to make a Closing Date Term Loan to the Borrowers on a joint and several basis in the principal amount of its Term Loan Commitment on the Closing Date.

(b) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers on a joint and several basis, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date until the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that no Revolving Loans may be drawn on the Closing Date except for Permitted Closing Date Revolving Advances.

(c) Term B-1 Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the First Amendment herein, each Lender with a commitment to exchange Closing Date Term Loans for Term B-1 Loans or to make Term B-1 Loans pursuant to the First Amendment hereby agrees, on the First Amendment Effective Date, severally and not jointly to make (or be deemed to make) such Lender’s Term B-1 Loan on the First Amendment Effective Date to the Borrowers on a joint and several basis in an original principal amount not to exceed its Term B-1 Loan Commitment (whether by agreeing to exchange its existing Closing Date Term Loans or by committing to make new Term B-1 Loans, in each case in accordance with the First Amendment); provided however, that it is understood and agreed by all parties hereto that any Term B-1 Loans which are not Exchanged Term Loans (as such term is defined in the First Amendment) shall be deemed to be advanced on the First Amendment Effective Date solely to TransFirst 1.

All Closing Date Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date were repaid in full on the First Amendment Effective Date or were exchanged for Term B-1 Loans as described above. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans (including Closing Date Term Loans and Term B-1 Loans) may not be reborrowed. Within the limits set forth in clause (b) above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans.

(a) Each Loan (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be made (or deemed made) as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made (or deemed made) by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make its Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii) and Swing Line Loans, (x) ABR Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments and (y) the Eurodollar Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.01, 2.11 and 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower Agent may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than, in the case of Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans, ten (10) Borrowings of such Loans in the aggregate. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), Swing Line Loans and Loans made on the Closing Date, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 (noon) New York City time, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, or 2:00 p.m. New York City time, with respect to ABR Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time in the manner specified in Section 2.17(b).

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date (in the case of any Eurodollar Borrowing), and at least two hours prior to the time (in the case of any ABR Borrowing), of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the

Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent at the time of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and each Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for the purposes of this Agreement, and each Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Agent shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. To request a Revolving Borrowing or Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower Agent shall deliver, by hand delivery, facsimile (or by telephone confirmed promptly in writing by facsimile or other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or such later time on such Business Day as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (or such later time on such Business Day as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans;

(b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(d) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(e) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

(f) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and

(g) with respect to each Credit Extension made after the Closing Date, that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) and Section 4.02(c) will be satisfied or waived as of the date the requested Borrowing is made.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) Promise to Repay. The Borrowers jointly and severally hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each Term Loan Lender, the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender as provided in Section 2.09, (ii) for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (iii) for the account of the Swing Line Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swing Line Loan is made that is the 15th or last Business Day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swing Line Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

(b) Lender and Administrative Agent Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Promissory Notes. Any Lender by written notice to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the form of Exhibit X-0, X-0 xx X-0, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

Section 2.05 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree on a joint and several basis to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 2.19, in the case of a Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to applicable percentage set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” per annum on the actual daily unused amount of each Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and (B) on the date on which such Commitment terminates. Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender; provided that for the purpose of calculations and payments pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Revolving Commitment of each Defaulting Lender shall be deemed equal to $0.

(b) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay on a joint and several basis to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Holdings and the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent Fee”).

(c) LC and Fronting Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay on a joint and several basis (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”), in Dollars, with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time for LC Participation Fees on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”) in Dollars, which shall accrue at 0.125% on the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s reasonable customary fees, in Dollars with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any

Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in Dollars in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable promptly on written demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor. All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.

(d) Upfront Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay on the Closing Date on a joint and several basis (x) to each Term Loan Lender party to this Agreement that funds Term Loans on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan, a funding fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans funded on the Closing Date and (y) to each Revolving Lender party to this Agreement with a Revolving Commitment on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, a funding fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment on the Closing Date; provided that such upfront fees pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above may be structured as original issue discount at the option of the Lead Arrangers. The fees set forth in this Section 2.05(d) are the same as the upfront fees in the Fee Letters and there shall be no duplication thereof.

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

Section 2.06 Interest on Loans.

(a) ABR Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swing Line Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g) or (h), the overdue Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of principal on any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.06(a) and Section 2.06(b) or (ii) in the case of any other Obligations, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be payable on written demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan without a permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments or Swing Line Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Interest Calculation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate in clause (a) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error.

Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Termination of Commitments. The Term Loan Commitments automatically terminated upon the making of the Closing Date Term Loans on the Closing Date. The Revolving Commitments, the Swing Line Commitments and the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Term B-1 Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making (or deemed making) of the Term B-1 Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date.

(b) Optional Terminations and Reductions. At its option, the Borrower Agent may at any time terminate, or from time to time, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.10(j) and Section 2.13), permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments.

(c) Borrower Notice. The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least one Business Day (or, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower

Agent pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, or the occurrence of any other event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. With respect to the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, the Borrower Agent may extend the date of termination at any time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a) Generally. Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Agent may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Agent may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swing Line Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Interest Election Notice. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Agent shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile (or by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing by facsimile) or other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent, a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Agent were requesting a Revolving Borrowing or Term Loan Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(c) Automatic Conversion. If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid or prepaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Borrowing with a one month Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrower Agent, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid or prepaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09 Amortization of Term Loan Borrowings. The Borrowers shall on a joint and several basis pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which the First Amendment Effective Date occurs (each such date, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”), an amount equal to one percent (1%) per annum of the original principal amount of such Term Loans made (or deemed made) on the First Amendment Effective Date, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10(h) and in connection with any Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.20 hereof, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans made (or deemed made) on the First Amendment Effective Date shall be due and payable by the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Section 2.10 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, or to permanently reduce any portion of the Revolving Commitment without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.10(j) or Section 2.13), subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10; provided that each partial prepayment or permanent reduction in any Revolving Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $500,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing.

(b) Revolving Loan Prepayments.

(i) In the event of the termination of all the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Borrowings and Swing Line Loans and, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace all outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i).

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Exposures after giving effect thereto and (y) if the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Swing Line Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings and third, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iii) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay Swing Line Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and third, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iv) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Sublimit then in effect, the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) Asset Sales. Not later than ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by any Group Member (other than any issuance or sale of Equity Interests to or from Holdings, a Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor), the Borrowers shall apply an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and 2.10(i); provided that:

(i) no such prepayment shall be required under this subclause (i) with respect to (A) the disposition of property which constitutes a Casualty Event, or (B) to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sales or series of related Asset Sales do not result in more than $2,500,000 per twelve (12) month period (the “Asset Sale Threshold” and the Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the Asset Sale Threshold, the “Excess Net Cash Proceeds”) in Net Cash Proceeds per Asset Sale (or series of related Asset Sales); and

(ii) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or would immediately arise therefrom, such proceeds with respect to any such Asset Sale shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that the Borrower Agent shall have notified the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Excess Net Cash Proceeds are expected to be reinvested in assets used or useful in the business of any Group Member (including pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition) or to be contractually committed to be so reinvested, within twelve (12) months (or within eighteen (18) months following receipt thereof if a contractual commitment to reinvest is entered into within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof) following the date of such Asset Sale; provided, that if the Property subject to such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, then all Property purchased or otherwise acquired with the Excess Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the first priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.10 and 5.11; and

(iii) if all or any portion of such Excess Net Cash Proceeds is neither reinvested nor contractually committed to be so reinvested within such twelve (12) month period (and actually reinvested within eighteen (18) months of the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds related thereto), such unused portion shall be applied within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.10(c).

(d) Debt Issuance. Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance by any Group Member, the Borrowers shall make prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(e) Casualty Events. Not later than ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by any Group Member, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and (i); provided that

(i) such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (A) such Net Cash Proceeds shall be less than $2,500,000 per twelve (12) month period, or (B) in the event that such Net Cash Proceeds equal or exceed $2,500,000, Borrower Agent shall have notified the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds are expected (x) to be used to repair, replace or restore any Property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to reinvest in other fixed or Capital Assets or assets that are otherwise useful in the business of the Group Members, or (y) to be contractually committed to be so reinvested, in each case, no later than 12 months (or within 18 months following receipt thereof if a contractual commitment to reinvest has been entered into within 12 months following receipt thereof) following the date of receipt of such proceeds; provided that if the Property subject to such Casualty Event constituted Collateral, then all Property purchased or otherwise acquired with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the first priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted

Liens) of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 5.10 and 5.11; and

(ii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not contractually committed within such 12 month period to be so reinvested within such 12 month period to be so reinvested (and actually reinvested within 18 months of the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds related thereto), such unused portion shall be applied within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.10(e).

(f) Excess Cash Flow. No later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to each fiscal year of Holdings ending on or after December 31, 2015 in which an Excess Cash Flow Period occurs are or are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrowers shall, to the extent Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period exceeds $1,000,000, make prepayments of Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended minus (B) at the option of the Borrower Agent, the aggregate principal amount of (x) any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(a) prior to such date (in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the relevant commitment) during the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period and (y) the amount of any reduction in the outstanding amount of any Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans resulting from any assignment made in accordance with Section 10.04(b)(vii) of this Agreement during the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, and in the case of all such prepayments, to the extent that such prepayments were not financed with the proceeds of other Indebtedness or an Equity Issuance or capital contribution used for such purpose of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries (such payment, the “ECF Payment Amount”).

(g) Restrictions on Prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, mandatory prepayments made pursuant to clauses (c), (d), (e) and (f) above shall be limited to the extent that the Borrower Agent reasonably determines that such prepayment would result in adverse tax consequences related to the repatriation of funds or would be prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable law. All prepayments referred to in clauses (c), (d), (e) and (f) above are subject to permissibility under local law (e.g., financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries) and under any applicable Organizational Documents (including as a result of minority ownership). Further, there will be no requirement to make any prepayment whereby doing so Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates and/or their equity partners would suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of upstreaming cash to make such prepayments (including the imposition of withholding taxes). The non-application of any such prepayment amounts as a result of the foregoing provisions will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of Holdings and the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries as long as not required to be prepaid in accordance with the following provisions. The Borrowers will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of no greater than one year to overcome or

eliminate any such restriction and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment and/or use the other cash resources of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries (subject to the considerations above) to make the relevant payment. If at any time within one year of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to clauses (c), (d), (e) or (f) being forgiven due to such restrictions, such restrictions are removed, any relevant proceeds will at the end of the then current interest period be applied in prepayment in accordance with Section 2.10(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments made after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of its affiliates or equity partners and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence, and Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make, directly or indirectly, a dividend or distribution to its affiliates in an amount sufficient to cover such tax liability, costs or expenses.

(h) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, the Borrower Agent shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(i), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(h). Any prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be applied pro rata amongst each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans and, within each Tranche, to reduce scheduled payments required under Section 2.09 (or any equivalent provision applicable to any Tranche of Term Loans extended hereunder after the Closing Date), in direct order of maturity. Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower Agent. After application of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans described above in this Section 2.10(h) and to the extent there are mandatory prepayment amounts remaining after such application, such amounts shall be applied, first, to ratably reduce outstanding Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Commitments) and, second, to ratably cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Commitments), and the Borrowers shall comply with Section 2.10(b).

Amounts to be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(h) to the prepayment of Term Loans or Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the Borrower Agent, the Excess Amount shall be either (A) deposited in an escrow account and applied to the prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans; provided that (i) interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended to repay until such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans and (ii) at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.13.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any prepayment under Section 2.10(c) or (e), the Borrowers may use a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Indebtedness and any other senior Indebtedness in each case secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations (the “Applicable Other Indebtedness”) to the extent required or permitted pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Applicable Other Indebtedness, in which case, the amount of the prepayment required to be offered with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (e) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (e) and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Applicable Other Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (e).

(i) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender) by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), and (iii) in the case of prepayment of Swing Line Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (or such later time as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of an optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(a) delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, or the occurrence of any other event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. With respect to the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, the Borrower Agent may extend the date of the optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(a) at any time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each such notice shall specify the Borrowing to be repaid, the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than notice relating solely to Swing Line Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Credit Extension of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (c), (d) (other than mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness),

(e) and (f) of this Section 2.10 by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent no later than 5:00 pm one (1) Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. 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 Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrowers to the extent they constitute Retained Declined Proceeds.

(j) Loan Call Protection. At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Event that is consummated on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers agree to pay on a joint and several basis on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Event to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Term Loan Lender, 1.00% of the portion of the principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans held by such Lender at the time of such Repricing Event that is affected by such Repricing Event in the manner set forth in the definition of Repricing Event.

Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith and in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period;

(b) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith and in its reasonable discretion or is advised in writing by the Required Lenders (which determination shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error) dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan; or

(c) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith and in its reasonable discretion or is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent promptly after such situation ceases to exist), (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that the Borrower Agent may revoke any such Borrowing Request (without penalty) prior to such Borrowing upon written notice to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.12 Yield Protection.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in, by any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Administrative Agent or Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.15 and any Excluded Tax); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or any other Loan in the case of clause (ii) (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon written request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will (on a joint and several basis) pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in good faith, in its reasonable discretion) that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such

Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will (on a joint and several basis) pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount owed and the basis for the claim shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall (on a joint and several basis) pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions pursuant to the certificate to be delivered in subsection (c) above and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of acceleration of the Obligations following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.16(b), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall (on a joint and several basis) compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (other than loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender in good faith to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the

Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall (on a joint and several basis) pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section.

Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments Generally. Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 or 10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of, and without condition or deduction for, recoupment or setoff. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, no payment received directly or indirectly from any Credit Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or otherwise to the payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations.

(b) Pro Rata Treatment.

(i) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, each payment by the Borrowers of interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(ii) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, (A) each payment by the Borrowers on account of principal of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of the Term Loans held by the Term Loan Lenders; (B) each payment by the Borrowers on account of principal of the Revolving Borrowings shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders; and (C) each permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments shall be pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitments then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(c) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties. It is understood that the foregoing does not apply to any adequate protection payments under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding, and that the Administrative Agent may, subject to any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar orders, distribute any adequate protection payments it receives on behalf of the Lenders to the Lenders in its sole discretion (i.e., whether to pay the earliest accrued interest, all accrued interest on a pro rata basis or otherwise).

(d) Sharing of Setoff. Subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement, if any Lender (and/or the Issuing Bank, which shall be deemed a “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.14(d)) shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment (x) made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Group Member (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(d) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(d) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

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

(f) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loans, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.03(c).

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction, deduction or withholding for any Taxes (“Tax Withholdings”); provided that if any Taxes are required by any applicable Requirements of Law to be withheld or deducted in respect of any such payments by any applicable withholding agent,

then (i) in the case of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the relevant Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all such Tax Withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), each Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Tax Withholdings been made (such additional sums being the “Additional Amount”), (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such Tax Withholdings, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount of the Tax Withholdings to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay on a joint and several basis any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(c) Indemnification by Borrowers. The Credit Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless (on a joint and several basis) each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.15 to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. (1) Each Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and to the Administrative Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (x) to determine whether or not any payments made under any Loan Document are subject to Tax Withholdings, (y) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of Tax Withholdings, and (z) to establish such Recipient’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, Tax Withholdings, in respect of any payments to be made to such Recipient by the Borrowers pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise establish such Recipient’s status for withholding Tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation and information (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(e)(2)(A)(i)-(iv), Section 2.15(e)(2)(B) and Section 2.15(e)(2)(C) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial

position of such Recipient. Each such Recipient shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Recipient of any such documentation or information, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Recipient’s circumstances renders such documentation or information (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 2.15(e)) so delivered obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, promptly (i) deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Recipient or (ii) notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form),

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K and (y) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form),

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender granting a participation), properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partners) or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation

as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent to determine any withholding or deduction required to be made;

(B) each Recipient that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) certifying that such Recipient is exempt from United States federal backup withholding;

(C) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date; and

(D) notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15(e), a Recipient shall not be required to deliver any documentation or information that such Recipient is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or on account of which the Borrowers have paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of any Taxes thereon and of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph (f), the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or a Lender, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification (or the payment of

Additional Amounts) and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or imposed and the indemnification payments (or Additional Amounts) with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other person.

(g) Survival. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 2.15, any payments by the Administrative Agent to a Lender of any amounts received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party on behalf of such Lender shall be treated as a payment from such Credit Party to such Lender.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” shall include the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank.

Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority (other than with respect to Other Taxes) for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower Agent) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates or to file any certificate or document reasonably required by the Borrowers, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment or filing (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay on a joint and several basis all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (w) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or (x) the Borrowers are required to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority (other than with respect to Other Taxes) for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or (y) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (z) the Borrowers exercise their replacement rights under Section 10.02(f), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort and option, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (B) pay off all of the Loans and Obligations in full owed to such Lender; provided that:

(i) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b),

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amount pursuant to Section 2.10(j) if a Repricing Event has occurred) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13, assuming for this purpose (in the case of a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or Section 10.02(f)) that the Loans of such Lender were being prepaid) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation pursuant to clause (z) above if, within five (5) Business Days of such Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower Agent’s notice of Borrowers’ intent to exercise their rights under this Section 2.16(b), the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrowers elect to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.16(b), it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be in full force and effect and shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 2.17 Swing Line Loans.

(a) Swing Line Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.17, agrees to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (and upon each such Borrowing of Swing Line Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that such Borrowing will not result in) (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the Swing Line Commitment, or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance, in whole or in part, an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Swing Line Loans. To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower Agent shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), on the Business Day of a proposed Swing Line Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan. The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrowers with the Swing Line Lender, if any, or otherwise to an account as directed by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Notice (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank). The Swing Line Lender shall endeavor to fund each Swing Line Loan by 3:00 p.m., New York City time and shall in all events fund each Swing Line Loan by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan. The Borrower Agent shall not request a Swing Line Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Credit Extension contemplated by such request a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would immediately thereafter result therefrom. Swing Line Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $50,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 above such amount.

(c) Prepayment. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without prepayment or penalty, any Swing Line Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice from the Borrower Agent to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of repayment.

101

(d) Participations. The Swing Line Lender may at any time in its discretion, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirement shall not apply if the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or a reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders; provided, that the Revolving Lender who is the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Pro Rata Percentage automatically without further funding. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swing Line Lender. Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Resignation or Removal of the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender hereunder at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent. Following such notice of resignation from the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Agent (with the Borrower Agent’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Administrative Agent and the successor Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees and interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swing Line Lender. From and after the effective date of any such

102

resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lenders, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of the Swing Line Lender hereunder, the replaced Swing Line Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swing Line Loans.

(f) Payments of Principal and Interest. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.18 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower Agent may request the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of Holdings, the Borrowers or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings in a form reasonable acceptable to the Borrower Agent (with the Borrower Agent’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (provided that the Borrowers shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of Holdings or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings) upon delivery to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) an LC Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and, as applicable, specifying the date of amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire, whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and the Borrower Agent shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Sublimit or the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments terms. If requested by the Issuing Bank, Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower Agent to, or entered into by the Borrower Agent with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions and Notices. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal

103

or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall deliver (or request via telephone, with confirmation to follow promptly in writing by facsimile) by hand, or telecopier (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank), an LC Request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank).

A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit,;

(ii) the stated or “face” amount thereof;

(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or as otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension);

(iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account, the account of Holdings, a Borrower or for the account of one of Holdings’ Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that the Borrowers shall be co-applicants, and therefore jointly and severally liable with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of Holdings, a Borrower or any of Holdings’ Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries);

(vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder;

(vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder; and

(viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

(ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and

(iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank reasonably may require.

104

If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such issuance, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $100,000, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000 (or such lesser amount as approved by the Issuing Bank), in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit.

Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (and in the case of an issuance of a new Letter of Credit, or an increase or decrease in the stated amount of an existing Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender, thereof), which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit (and in the case of an issuance of a new Letter of Credit, or an increase or decrease in the stated amount of an existing Letter of Credit, the notice to each Revolving Lender shall include a copy of such Letter of Credit also and the amount of each such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(d)).

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and (ii) in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, (x) the date that is 180 days after the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, 180 days after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, the Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, may agree to extend such Letter of Credit beyond such date (the “LC Extension”) upon the Borrower Agent either (i) providing the Issuing Bank funds equal to 103% of the LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit for deposit in a cash collateral account which cash collateral account will be held by the Issuing Bank as a pledged cash collateral account and applied to reimbursement of all drafts submitted under such outstanding Letter of Credit or (ii) delivering to the Issuing Bank one or more letters of credit for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

105

(ii) If the Borrower Agent so requests in any LC Request for a Standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (x) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.18(m) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this paragraph, (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Revolving Lender directly affected thereby has elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower Agent that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit in Dollars. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.18(e) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in Dollars, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an

106

amount equal to such LC Disbursement in Dollars not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made if the Borrower Agent shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Agent prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Agent receives such notice; provided that the Borrower Agent may, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with ABR Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loans.

(ii) If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Revolving Lender and the Borrowers agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the rate per annum set forth in (h) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers as provided in Section 2.18(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other

107

document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.18, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not subject to appeal)), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Borrower Agent written notice of such demand for payment upon receiving such notice from the Issuing Bank; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.18(e)).

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each

108

day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date of such LC Disbursement, and at the rate per annum determined pursuant to Section 2.06(c) thereafter. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If (1) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (2) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding or (3) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall immediately (and in the case of clause (3), upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent) deposit (and shall be jointly and severally liable to so deposit) on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in Section 8.01(g) or (h). Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the existence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(j) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower Agent may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders (subject to the consent of each such Revolving Lender in its sole discretion) to act as an issuing bank with respect to Letters of Credit under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank with respect to Letters of Credit pursuant to this paragraph (j) shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and all references in the Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in its capacity as the Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower Agent may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(k) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice

109

to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by the Borrower Agent. The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent and then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower Agent shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(l) Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(m) Other. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of the Issuing Bank.

110

The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower Agent when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to the Borrowers for, and the Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(n) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of Holdings inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of Holdings.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (b)(v) below) and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a);

(b) if any Swing Line Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, but only to the extent that (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (z) to the extent requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent shall confirm that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation and if the Borrower Agent cannot confirm such conditions have been satisfied (which shall not

111

constitute a Default or an Event of Default) and such conditions have not otherwise been waived by the Required Revolving Lenders, then clause (ii) below shall apply;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (a) prepay such Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender and (b) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages;

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and the LC Participation Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.19(b), and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(vii) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(d) but excluding Section 2.16(b)) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated

112

non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded in respect of its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(c) such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender,” and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans and/or Swing Line Commitments and Swing Line Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except as otherwise set forth in Section 10.02(b).

(d) to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (A) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall, if the Borrower Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.10(a) as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall, if the Borrower Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be (i) applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section 2.10 as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or (ii) retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest-bearing account.

(e) No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

113

In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Borrower Agent each agrees in writing (provided that the Borrower Agent’s agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld) that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (except for Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The operation of this Section 2.19 shall not be construed to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle the Borrower Agent, at its option, to arrange for a substitute Lender to replace such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(b). The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.19 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions hereof or otherwise.

Section 2.20 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower Agent may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new Term Loan Commitments under a new term facility or under the existing term facility or any increase under an existing tranche of Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) and/or one or more new Revolving Loan Commitments under a new revolving facility or under the then existing revolving facility (each an “Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment” and together with Incremental Term Loan Commitment, the “Incremental Facilities”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower Agent proposes that such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such different date as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee (each such person, an “Additional Lender”) to whom the Borrower Agent proposes any portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment.

114

(b) Conditions. Such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such request or immediately after giving effect thereto; provided, that, solely with respect to any Incremental Facilities incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the foregoing condition shall not be required to be satisfied and instead no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time the definitive documentation for such Limited Condition Acquisition is executed;

(ii) the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans shall be used in accordance with Section 3.11 and Section 5.08;

(iii) the Borrower Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary amendments to the Loan Documents or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Revolving Loan Lender in connection with any such transaction;

(iv) any such Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such amount (except, in each case, such minimum amount and integral multiples amount shall not apply when Borrowers use all of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments available at such time); and

(v) subject to customary “Sungard” limitations (to the extent agreed to by the Lenders providing the Incremental Facility and to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition), each of the representations and warranties made by any Credit Party set forth in Article III hereof or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such Credit Extension with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date.

(c) Terms of New Term Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be subject to Section 2.20(f) and as follows:

(i) the terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments (“Incremental Term Loans”) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein (including Section 2.20(f)) or except with respect to terms applicable only to periods after the Term Loan Maturity Date, either (A) substantially consistent (taken as a whole) as the Term Loans existing on the Increase Effective Date or (B) no more

115

favorable (taken as a whole) to the Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than those applicable to the Term Loans existing on the Increase Effective Date, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Borrower Agent or (C) otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (in each case, it being understood and agreed that Incremental Term Loans may be a part of the Term Loans); provided that to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Loans, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any corresponding existing Term Loans;

(ii) any Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the credit facilities provided for herein; provided that, at the Borrower Agent’s option, any Incremental Term Loans may be established as a “last-out” tranche hereunder;

(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then existing Term Loans;

(iv) the maturity date of Incremental Term Loans (as extended from time to time pursuant to Section 2.21) shall not be earlier than the later of the then existing Term Loan Maturity Date and the maturity date of any then outstanding Incremental Term Loans; and

(v) no Incremental Term Loans will be permitted to be voluntarily or mandatorily prepaid (other than on a ratable basis or in connection with a transaction permitted by Section 10.04(b)(vii) or any other transaction permitted hereunder that allows Term Loans to be repaid on a non-pro rata basis) prior to the repayment in full of the then existing Term Loans.

(d) Terms of New Revolving Loans and Commitments. On any Increase Effective Date on which Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing terms and conditions in Section 2.20(b), (a) to the extent such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Commitments, each of the applicable Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have assigned to each Lender with Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, and each such Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from each of the applicable Revolving Loan Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the applicable Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, immediately after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing applicable Revolving Lenders and Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan, (c) each Incremental Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters

116

relating thereto, (d) with respect to any new Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment that is not an increase to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments, the maturity date of any such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (as extended from time to time pursuant to Section 2.21) shall not be earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date, (e) an Incremental Revolving Commitment shall require no scheduled amortization prior to the Revolving Maturity Date or differing mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Maturity Date than the Revolving Loan Commitments existing as of the Increase Effective Date and (f) all other terms (other than margin, pricing and fees which shall be subject to Section 2.20(f)) shall either be (i) substantially consistent (taken as a whole) with terms applicable to the Revolving Commitments existing on the Increase Effective Date, (ii) no more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments than those applicable to the Revolving Loan Commitments existing as of the Increase Effective Date as reasonably determined by the Borrowers or (iii) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (in each case, except for terms applicable only to periods after the Revolving Maturity Date).

(e) Joinder. Such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate (which may be in the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) (including with respect to pro rata payments, repayments, borrowings and commitment reductions of Revolving Commitments (and Revolving Loans thereunder) and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and loans thereunder)), in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. This Section 2.20(e) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.02 to the contrary.

(f) Yield. If the initial Yield (as defined below) on such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans exceeds the then applicable Yield on the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, respectively, by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential. For purposes of this Section 2.20, “Yield” shall mean the then “effective yield” on such Loans consistent with generally accepted financial practice, taking into account the applicable interest rate margins, any interest rate floors (but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Term Loans funded on the First Amendment Effective Date would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Term Loans funded on the First Amendment Effective Date shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors) but excluding arrangement, structuring, underwriting, commitment, amendment or other fees not paid generally to all Lenders of such Indebtedness).

(g) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without

117

limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents and shall have the same Guarantors. Borrowers and the other Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Incremental Term Loans or any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

Section 2.21 Extension Amendments.

(a) The Borrower Agent may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion, including one or more Tranches of the Loans (including any Extended Loans), each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Tranche” and the Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Loans”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, “Extended Tranche” and the Loans of such Tranche, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.21. In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the Borrower Agent shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms (other than provided in clause (c) below) shall be (taken as a whole) substantially similar to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrowers) to the Lenders providing the Loans that are being extended or replaced (in each case, other than for terms applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Existing Loans) to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Tranche, (B) the optional prepayment terms may be different and/or (C) additional pricing and fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) the commitment fee, if any, with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the commitment fee, if any, for the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21 or otherwise, (1) such Extended Tranche shall not be, (y) in the case of any Extended Tranche relating to Term Loans, in an amount less than $25,000,000 and (z) in the case of any Extended Tranche relating to Revolving Loans hereunder, in an amount less than $5,000,000, (2) no Extended Tranche shall be secured by or receive the benefit of any collateral, credit support or security that does not secure or support the Existing Tranches, (3) the mandatory prepayment or the commitment reduction of any of Loans or Commitments under the Extended Tranches shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Loans or Commitments respectively; provided, that, Extended Loans may, if the Extending Lenders making such Extended Loans so agree, participate on a less than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment or commitment reductions hereunder, (4) the final maturity of any Extended Tranche shall not be earlier than, and if such Extended Tranche is a term facility, shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the applicable Specified Existing Tranche, (5) each Lender in the Specified Existing

118

Tranche shall be permitted to participate in the Extended Tranche in accordance with its pro rata share of the Specified Existing Tranche and (6) assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans and Commitments hereunder as set forth in Section 10.04. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans or, if applicable, commitments of any Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans (and, if applicable, commitments) from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(b) The Borrower Agent shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election.

(c) Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins, fees or prepayments and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.21(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.02, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.21 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith. This Section 2.21(c) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.02 to the contrary.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Tranches, such loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related

119

participations) and Existing Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s applicable Specified Existing Tranches to the applicable Extended Tranches so converted by such Lender on such date.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower Agent may, on notice to the Administrative and the Non-Extending Lender, (A) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.04 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to obtain a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or a commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full at par by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption or (B) prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower Agent’s option, if applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in part, subject to breakage costs, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.21, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full in cash by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

Section 2.22 Refinancing Facilities. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness described in clause (d) of the definition thereof in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which will be deemed to include any then outstanding Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments) or any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans or any then outstanding Refinancing Revolving Loans, in each case, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, together with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement or other customary subordination agreement; provided, that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) will, to the extent permitted by the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness,” have such pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees, premiums and prepayment or redemption provisions and terms as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof and (iii) will, to the extent in the form of Refinancing Revolving Loans or Refinancing Revolving Loan Commitments, participate in the payment,

120

borrowing, participation and commitment reduction provisions herein on a pro rata basis with any all then outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Revolving Loans) and any Indebtedness being replaced or refinanced with such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed permanently reduced and satisfied in all respects. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section.

(b) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.23 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower (the “Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender. The Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication delivered by the Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice to or communication with a Borrower or other Credit Party hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or other Credit Party. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents.

The Borrowers may (or may direct a Credit Party to) use the proceeds of the

125

Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans on the Closing Date (i) to fund certain amounts set forth in the Fee Letters, (ii) for the purpose of issuing Letters of Credit in order to, among other things, backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date, (iii) for the purpose of cash collateralizing any letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date and (iv) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 for Transaction Costs and other working capital purposes (collectively, “Permitted Closing Date Revolving Advances”). The Borrowers will (or will direct a Credit Party to) use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans after the Closing Date for working capital and general corporate purposes (including to effect Permitted Acquisitions, Investments, Capital Expenditures and any other transaction not prohibited under this Agreement). Proceeds of the Incremental Facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to finance Permitted Acquisitions (including refinancing the existing Indebtedness of the acquired businesses), to finance Capital Expenditures, for working capital, to finance any Dividends permitted hereunder and Permitted Investments, for other purposes not prohibited by this Agreement and to pay related fees, costs and expenses in connection with such transactions. Proceeds of the Term B-1 Loans shall be used (i) to repay in full all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, (ii) to fund a portion of the Special Distribution and (iii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the First Amendment.

Section 3.12 Taxes. Each Group Member has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal Tax Returns and all material state, local and foreign Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects, (b) duly and timely paid or remitted or caused to be duly and timely paid or remitted all Taxes due and payable or remittable by it and all assessments received by it, except (i) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Group Member has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, or (ii) Taxes which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) satisfied all of its withholding Tax obligations except for failures that would not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Group Member has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Each Group Member has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes not yet due and payable. Each Group Member is unaware of any proposed or pending Tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that would be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Group Member has ever “participated” in a “listed transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2).

Section 3.13 No Material Misstatements.

(a) No written information, report, financial statement, certificate, Borrowing Request, LC Request, exhibit or schedule (in each case other than forecasts, projections and other forward looking statements (collectively, “Projections”) and information of a general economic or industry nature) furnished by or on behalf of any Group Member to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a whole and when furnished, contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not materially misleading when taken as a whole as of the date such information, report, financial statement, certificate, Borrowing Request, LC Request, exhibit or schedule is dated or certified.

(b) With respect to any Projections delivered pursuant to the terms hereof, each Group Member represents only that on the date of delivery thereof it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions believed by it to be reasonable when made in light of the then current circumstances (it being understood that Projections are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which are beyond the control of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and that no assurance or guarantee can be given that any Projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and such differences may be material).

126

Section 3.14 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts, or slowdowns against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any manner which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Group Member, or for which any claim may be made against any Group Member, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Group Member except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Group Member is bound.

Section 3.15 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date (and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and under the First Amendment to occur on the First Amendment Effective Date) and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, (a) the sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, does not exceed the present fair saleable value (on a going concern basis) of the assets of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (b) the capital of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, contemplated as of the Closing Date; and (c) Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including current obligations beyond their ability to pay such debt as they mature in the ordinary course of business. For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).

Section 3.16 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) With respect to each Plan, each Group Member is in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

127

Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or the imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Group Member. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for financial reporting purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with Section 4211 of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Group Member or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Group Member has been notified by the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA) or in reorganization (within the meaning of Section 4241 of ERISA), and no such Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected by any Group Member to be insolvent or in reorganization.

(b) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Foreign Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable Requirements of Law and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities and (ii) no Group Member has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the respective Group Member on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the property of such Foreign Plan by an amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued in accordance with GAAP in all material respects.

Section 3.17 Environmental Matters.

(a) Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

(i) The Group Members and their businesses, operations and Real Property are in compliance with Environmental Law;

(ii) The Group Members have obtained all Environmental Permits required for the conduct of their businesses and operations, and the ownership, operation and use of their Real Property;

(iii) There has been no Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material caused by the Group Members, or to the knowledge of the Group Members by any other person, on, at, under or from any Real Property presently, or to the knowledge of the Group Members, formerly owned, leased or operated by the Group Members;

128

(iv) There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Group Members, threatened against the Group Members and, to the knowledge of the Group Members, there are no facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Environmental Claim; and

(v) No Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property currently owned, operated or leased by the Group Members.

(b) This Section 3.17 contains the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Group Members with respect to any matters arising under Environmental Laws or relating to Environmental Claims or Hazardous Materials.

Section 3.18 Insurance. Schedule 3.18 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all insurance maintained by each Credit Party as of the Closing Date. All insurance maintained by the Credit Parties is in full force and effect, all premiums have been duly paid, no Credit Party has received notice of violation or cancellation thereof and there exists no default under any insurance requirement. Each Group Member has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged in similar businesses in similar locations.

Section 3.19 Security Documents.

(a) Valid Liens. Subject to Section 4.01(l), each Security Document delivered pursuant to Article IV, Sections 5.10, 5.11 and 5.12 will, upon execution and delivery thereof, be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, all of the Credit Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral thereunder under applicable U.S. state and federal law, and (i) when appropriate filings or recordings are made in the appropriate offices as may be required under applicable Requirements of Law (to the extent required hereunder and thereunder), and (ii) upon the taking of possession, control or other action by the Collateral Agent of such Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession, control or other action (which possession, control or other action shall be given to the Collateral Agent or taken by the Collateral Agent to the extent required by any Security Document), the Liens in favor of Collateral Agent will constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in such Collateral, in each case under applicable U.S. state and federal law, subject to no Liens other than the applicable Permitted Liens.

(b) Foreign Law Limitations. For purposes of this Section 3.19, compliance with applicable foreign law with respect to the grant, creation and perfection of Liens on and security interests in the Collateral will not be required.

Section 3.20 Anti-Terrorism Law.

(a) No Credit Party and none of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable Requirement of Law relating to terrorism or money laundering (“Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including Executive Order No. 13224, effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive

(i) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or with any Person or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject of Sanctions; or

(ii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Lender, any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender).

Section 3.22 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loans will be used directly (or, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, indirectly) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

ARTICLE VII.

GUARANTEE

Section 7.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrowers, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Credit Party under any Loan Document or any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedging Agreement entered into with a counterparty that is a Secured Party, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrowers or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Obligation in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement shall be payable by or from the assets of any Credit Party if such Credit Party, is not, at the later of (i) the time such Secured Hedging Agreement is entered into and (ii) the date such person becomes a Credit Party, an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and no Credit Party shall be deemed to have entered into or guaranteed any Hedging Agreement at any time that such Credit Party is not an eligible contract participant.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.01 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.01, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer,

170

and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.01 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 7.09 hereof. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.01 constitute, and this Section 7.01 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment of Guaranteed Obligations and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full (other than contingent indemnity obligations)). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to applicable law, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, Issuing Bank or any Lender or Agent or other Secured Party as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.10.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the

171

Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or pursuant to a Debtor Relief Law.

Section 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped) and the expiration or termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement, it shall subordinate and not exercise any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Credit Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(m) shall be subordinated to such Credit Party’s Secured Obligations; provided that upon the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped) and the expiration or termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement and the cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit (except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped), without any further action by any person, the Guarantors shall be automatically subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent of any payment hereunder.

172

Section 7.05 Remedies. Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.01 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.01) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

Section 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion or action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 7.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 7.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is a Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor shall, effective immediately upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.03 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreements shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrower Agent shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 7.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents, so long as the Borrower Agent shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement.

173

Section 7.10 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor (other than Holdings) hereby agrees that to the extent that such Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment, in an amount not to exceed the highest amount that would be valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each such Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrowers described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (or with respect to an Event of Default subject to the provisos in Section 8.01(d), the Required Revolving Lenders), and at the request of the Required Lenders (or with respect to an Event of Default subject to the provisos in Section 8.01(d), the Required Revolving Lenders) shall, by notice to the Borrowers, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers and the Guarantors, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event, with respect to the Borrowers described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Obligations of the Borrowers accrued

177

hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers and the Guarantors, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Event of Default under this Agreement or similarly defined term under any other Loan Document, other than any Event of Default which cannot be waived without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, shall be deemed not to be “continuing” if the events, act or condition that gave rise to such Event of Default have been remedied or cured (including by payment, notice, taking of any action or omitting to take any action) or have ceased to exist and Borrowers are in compliance with this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document.

Section 8.02 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral or the Guarantees pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of its remedies shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, as follows:

(a) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

(b) second, to the payment of all other reasonable and documented costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

(c) third, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, to the payment in full in cash, pro rata, of interest and other amounts constituting Obligations (other than principal, Reimbursement Obligations and obligations to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under Cash Management Agreements and Hedging Agreements constituting Secured Obligations and any interest accrued thereon, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing;

178

(d) fourth, to the payment in full in cash, pro rata, of the principal amount of the Obligations and any premium thereon (including Reimbursement Obligations and obligations to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and any breakage, termination or other payments under Cash Management Agreements and Hedging Agreements constituting Secured Obligations and any interest accrued thereon; and

(e) fifth, the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in the preceding sentences of this Section 8.02, the Credit Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no amount received directly or indirectly from any Credit Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or otherwise to the payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations and Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above in clauses (a) - (e) of the first sentence of this Section 8.02 if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be, as may be reasonably necessary to determine the amount of the Obligations owed thereunder. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto and be deemed to be (and agrees to be) subject to the provisions in Sections 10.09, 10.10 and 10.12 as a party hereto.

Section 8.03 Equity Cure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, but subject to Section 8.03(b) and (c), solely for the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under the First Lien Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.08 (the “Financial Covenant”) as of the end of any fiscal quarter (such fiscal quarter, a “Cure Quarter”), the then existing direct or indirect equity holders of Holdings shall have the right to make an equity investment, directly or indirectly, (which equity shall not be Disqualified Capital Stock) in Holdings in cash, which Holdings shall subsequently contribute, directly or indirectly, to TransFirst 1 in cash (which equity contribution shall not be Disqualified Capital Stock in TransFirst 1) after the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter and on or prior to the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”), and such cash will, if so designated by Holdings, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and the subsequent three fiscal quarters (any

179

such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, an “Equity Cure Contribution,” and the amount of such Equity Cure Contribution, the “Cure Amount”); provided that such Equity Cure Contribution is Not Otherwise Applied (including, without limitation, utilized as an increase to the Cumulative Amount). All Equity Cure Contributions shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement other than inclusion in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and the subsequent three fiscal quarters, including disregarding for purposes of the determination of the Cumulative Amount and all components thereof and any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in Article VI. There shall be no pro forma reduction in Consolidated Indebtedness in connection with any Equity Cure Contribution for determining compliance with the Financial Covenant under Section 6.08; provided, that such Equity Cure Contribution shall reduce Consolidated Indebtedness in future quarters to the extent used to prepay any Loans. No Equity Cure Contribution shall be greater than the amount required for the Borrowers to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, (A) upon receipt of the Cure Amount by Holdings (and the subsequent contribution in cash to TransFirst 1 (which equity contribution shall not be Disqualified Capital Stock in TransFirst 1)) in an amount at least necessary to cause the Borrowers to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter, the Financial Covenant under Section 6.08 shall be deemed satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the Financial Covenant under Section 6.08 and any Default or Event of Default related to any failure to comply with the Financial Covenant shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents and (B) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a notice from the Borrower Agent, within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery of the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), intending to cure such Event of Default (“Notice of Intent to Cure”) through the Cure Expiration Date: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the basis of any failure to comply with the Financial Covenant unless such failure is not cured pursuant to the Notice of Intent to Cure on or prior to the Cure Expiration Date, (ii) the Borrowers shall not be permitted to borrow Revolving Loans and new Letters of Credit shall not be issued unless and until the Equity Cure Contribution is made or all existing Events of Default are waived or cured, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall exercise any of the remedial rights otherwise available to it upon an Event of Default, including the right to accelerate the Loans or to foreclose on the Collateral solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred as a result of a violation of Section 6.08, unless the Equity Cure Contribution is not made on or before the expiration of the Cure Period and (iv) if the Equity Cure Contribution is not made on or before the expiration of the Cure Period, such Event of Default or potential Event of Default shall spring into existence after such time and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any Lender may take any actions or remedies pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) There shall be no more than five Equity Cure Contributions made during the term of this Agreement and no more than two Equity Cure Contributions made during any four consecutive fiscal quarters. No Equity Cure Contribution shall be any greater than the minimum amount required for the Borrowers to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant in the applicable Cure Quarter.

180

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.03(a), if a Default or an Event of Default would have occurred and be continuing had the Borrowers not had the option to exercise the cure right as set forth above and not exercised such cure right pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Borrowers shall not be permitted, from the applicable date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Notice of Intent to Cure with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter, until such Default or Event of Default is cured in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.03 or otherwise or waived in accordance with Section 10.02, to request any Borrowings or request any other extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments (including any Borrowing of Swing Line Loans and/or issuance or extension (including automatic renewals pursuant to Section 2.18(c)) of any Letter of Credit) or otherwise request any other extension of credit under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Required Revolving Lenders.

ARTICLE IX.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Jefferies to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent (including through its agents or employees) to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except for the provisions in Sections 9.01, 9.06, 9.10). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirements of Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential counterparty to Hedging Agreements and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto and such Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may also act, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as the collateral agent for the lenders and other secured parties under the Second Lien Documents. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the

181

direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.03), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Any entity holding Collateral for and on behalf of the Administrative Agent in its role as collateral agent shall be deemed to be appointed as a sub-agent of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other

182

number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers),

183

independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more co-agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers and such notice shall also be effective in respect of its role as Collateral Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing. If the Lender acting as Administrative Agent is replaced pursuant to Section 2.16(b), then such Lender shall be deemed to have submitted its notice of resignation as Administrative Agent concurrent with such replacement. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrowers’ consent (absent an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g) or (h)), to appoint a successor that is not a Disqualified Institution, 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, with any prohibited appointment to be absolutely void ab initio. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the Borrowers’ consent and that such successor not be a Disqualified Institution), with any prohibited appointment to be absolutely void ab initio. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security granted to or held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments,

184

communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.15 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Administrative 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 Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 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 Administrative Agent.

(c) Any resignation by Jefferies as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender. If Jefferies resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(e). If Jefferies resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.17. Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Jefferies to effectively assume the obligations of Jefferies with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions

185

applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates have not made any representation or warranty to it. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender or Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning any Credit Party, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party, that may come in to the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers or the Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 10.03 or otherwise allowed in such judicial proceeding);

(b) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor; and

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

186

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 10.03. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential secured counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or as a Cash Management Bank) and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, at their option and in their discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed (other than to a Credit Party) of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any conveyance, sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) in connection with the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or (iv) subject to Sections 2.05 and 10.03, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is expressly permitted to be senior to the Liens securing the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.02;

187

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents; and

(d) to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor or subordination agreement it deems reasonable in connection with any refinancing notes (including, without limitation, Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Refinancing Debt and Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt), Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt or other obligations not prohibited hereunder and that if any such Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor or subordination agreement is posted to the Lenders three (3) Business Days before being executed and the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor or subordination agreement the Required Lenders shall be deemed to agree that the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s entry into such Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor or subordination agreement is reasonable and to have consented to such Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor or subordination agreement is and such Agent’s execution thereof.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 9.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 9.10, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to or direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.11 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, as the case may be.

188

Section 9.12 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law (including for this purpose, pursuant to any agreements entered into with a Governmental Authority), the Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that an Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to Tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by an Agent shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agents under this Section 9.12. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of an Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid to or for the account of such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 9.12, the term “Lender” shall include the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank.

192

(f) Public/Private. (i) Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute (A) to Public Xxxxxx all Communications that the Borrowers identify in writing contains no MNPI (“Public Side Communications”), and the Borrower represents and warrants that no such Public Side Communications contain any MNPI, and, at the reasonable written request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify Public Side Communications by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC”; and (B) to Private Xxxxxx all Communications other than Public Side Communications (such Communications, “Private Side Communications”). The Borrowers agree to designate as Private Side Communications only those Communications or portions thereof that it reasonably believes in good faith constitute MNPI, and agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts not to designate any Communications provided under Section 5.01(a), (b) and (c) as Private Side Communications. “Private Xxxxxx” shall mean Lenders’ employees and representatives who have declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI. “Public Xxxxxx” shall mean Lenders’ employees and representatives who have not declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI; it being understood that Public Xxxxxx may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to the Borrowers’ or their Affiliates’ securities or loans. “MNPI” shall mean material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws assuming that Holdings is a public reporting company under federal securities laws (regardless of whether Holdings is actually a public reporting company under federal securities laws)) with respect to Holdings, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective securities.

(i) Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other person. Each Lender confirms that it has developed procedures designed to ensure compliance with these securities laws.

(ii) Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that may contain MNPI. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to designate at least one individual to receive Private Side Communications on its behalf in compliance with its procedures and applicable Requirements of Law and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Private Side Communications may be sent by electronic transmission.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) Generally. No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents

193

are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Required Consents. Subject to Sections 10.02(d) and (e), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or, in the case of any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letters, which may be amended in accordance with their respective terms), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Credit Party or Credit Parties that are party thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (other than with respect to any Incremental Facilities to which such Lender has agreed) (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender) unless consented to by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders);

(ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, including any provision establishing a minimum rate (other than any waiver, extension or reduction of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c) or any waivers thereof or any waivers or extensions of mandatory prepayments), or reduce any fees (including any Fees or any prepayment fee or premium) payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby but not the Required Lenders (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (ii));

(iii) (A) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Term Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.09 (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any mandatory prepayment) except in accordance with Section 2.20, Section 2.21, and Section 2.22 in any case, (B) postpone the date for payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or any interest, premium or fees payable hereunder (other than waivers of default interest, Defaults or Events of Default, waivers or extension of any mandatory prepayments or default interest), or (C) postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment beyond the Revolving

194

Maturity Date or any Letter of Credit beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, except in accordance with Section 2.20, Section 2.21, and Section 2.22 in any case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than the Required Lenders);

(iv) release Holdings or any Borrower or release all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their Guarantee (except as expressly provided in Article IX), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender;

(v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that additional Classes of Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 or consented to by the Required Lenders may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing Secured Obligations under the Security Documents);

(vi) change Section 2.14(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby or any other provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among the Lenders of Loan disbursements, including the requirements of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.18(d) (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Section 2.20, Section 2.21, and Section 2.22 or Section 10.04(b)), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than the Required Lenders);

(vii) change any provision of this Section 10.02(b) or (c) or (d), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for additional restrictions on amendments or waivers for the benefit of Lenders of additional Classes of Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 or consented to by the Required Lenders); or

(viii) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Class Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), other than to increase such percentage or number or to give any Additional Lender or group of Lenders such right to waive, amend or modify or make any such determination or grant any such consent;

(ix) change or waive any provision of Article IX as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the written consent of such Agent;

(x) change or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the issuance of or purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank; or

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay (whether or not any such amount arises, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or

199

asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that (i) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, the Swing Line Lender or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity and (ii) such indemnity for the Issuing Bank shall not include losses incurred by the Issuing Bank due to one or more Lenders defaulting in their obligations to purchase participations of LC Exposure under Section 2.18(d) or to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.18(e) (it being understood that this proviso shall not affect the Issuing Bank’s rights against any Defaulting Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

201

(iv) no assignment shall be made to a Disqualified Institution without the Borrower Agent’s consent in writing (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), and upon an inquiry by any Lender to the Administrative Agent as to whether a specific potential assignee or prospective participant is a Disqualified Institution, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose to such Lender whether such specific potential assignee or prospective participant is on the list of Disqualified Institutions; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, nor have any liability in connection with, maintaining, updating, monitoring or enforcing the list of Disqualified Institutions unless caused by or is the result of the negligence (including, without limitation, gross negligence), bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties, and each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent for any loss, cost or expense arising from any assignment to a Disqualified Institution that is not caused by or does not result from the negligence (including, without limitation, gross negligence), bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties.

(v) (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Revolving Commitments) to any Person who is or, after giving effect to such assignment, would be an Equity Investor (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) or an Affiliate of Holdings (other than Holdings, any Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries or any natural person) (collectively, the “Sponsor Investors”) (without the consent of any Person); provided that (1) the assigning Lender and each Sponsor Investor purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliate Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system or by manual execution, (2) at the time of such assignment after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans held by the Sponsor Investors shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, (3) all parties to the relevant repurchases shall render customary “big-boy” disclaimer letters or any such disclaimers shall be incorporated into the terms of the Affiliate Assignment and Assumption and (4) for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans to any Sponsor Investor.

202

Immediately upon Holdings’ or a Borrower’s acquisition of Term Loans from a Sponsor Investor, (x) such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall for all purposes (including under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and such Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such capital contribution or assignment.

(vii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans owing to it to Holdings, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis, subject to the following limitations:

(D) following repurchase by Holdings, such Borrower or such Subsidiary pursuant to this Section, the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Holdings, such Borrower or such Subsidiary), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (1) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (3) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Borrowers shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such repurchase (without limiting the foregoing, in all events, such Term Loans may not be resold or otherwise assigned, or subject to any participation, or otherwise transferred by the Borrowers). In connection with any Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(b)(vii) the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

Subject to the recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04, from and after the date such recordation in the Register is made, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an

204

Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, and 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and Affiliate Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank (with respect to its own interests), the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender (with respect to its own interests) and any Lender (with respect to its own interests), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. (i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Bank sell participations to any person (other than a natural person or a Borrower or any of its Affiliates or, any Disqualified Institutions) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Issuing Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with regard to (a) reductions of principal, interest or fees owing to such Participant (other than waivers, reductions or extensions of any mandatory prepayment or default interest) in clause (ii) of the first proviso in Section 10.02(b), (b) extensions of final scheduled maturity or times for payment of

205

interest or fees owing to such participant (other than waivers of default interest, defaults or events of default, waivers or extensions of any mandatory prepayments or default interest) with respect to clauses (iii)(A), (B) and (D) of Section 10.02(b) and (c) releases of Collateral or guarantees requiring the approval of all Lenders with respect to clauses (vi) and (vii) of Section 10.02(b), in each case, that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, and 2.15 (subject to the requirements of those Sections; provided that any documentation required to be provided by a Participant pursuant to Section 2.15(e) shall be provided exclusively to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Lender shall enter into any agreement with any Participant that will permit such Participant to influence or control the voting rights of such Lender except with regard to (a) reductions of principal, interest or fees owing to such Participant (other than waivers, reductions or extensions of any mandatory prepayment or default interest) in clause (ii) of the first proviso in Section 10.02(b), (b) extensions of final scheduled maturity or times for payment of interest or fees owing to such participant (other than waivers of default interest, defaults or events of default, waivers or extensions of any mandatory prepayments or default interest) with respect to clauses (iii)(A), (B) and (D) of Section 10.02(b) and (c) releases of Collateral or guarantees requiring the approval of all Lenders with respect to clauses (vi) and (vii) of Section 10.02(b), in each case, that directly affects such Participant.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amounts of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and to confirm a Participant is not a Disqualified Institution. The entries in a Participant Register shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(iii) Any such participation that does not comply with this Section shall be void ab initio and, promptly following such Lender becoming aware that any such participation has been made in breach of this Section, the Participant Register shall be modified by it to reverse such participation and shall be disclosed to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) for (i) maintaining a Participant Register and (ii) any Lender’s compliance with this Section, including any sale of participations to a Disqualified Institution in violation hereof by any Lender.

206

(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent or except to the extent the right to greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant becomes a Participant.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender without restriction, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or any other Person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Assignment and Assumption 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 Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as

207

the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and Article X (other than Section 10.12) shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission (PDF or TIFF format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party (but excluding amounts held in payroll, employee benefits, tax and other fiduciary or trust accounts) against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

208

Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

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

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b).

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS

209

REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (in each case, other than to a Disqualified Institution) (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, numbering, administration and settlement services provider and other representatives (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, but only to the extent required in connection with such exercise or enforcement, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and in connection with any pledge or assignment made pursuant to Section 10.04(f), (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations or (iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Credit Party or to the credit facilities hereunder, (g) with the prior consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; provided, that with respect to clauses (b) and (c) above, if the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank receives a subpoena, interrogatory or other request (verbal or otherwise) for any Information, or believes that it is legally required to disclose any of the Information to a third party, it shall, in advance of such disclosure, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, promptly provide to the Borrowers written notice of any such request or requirement so that the applicable Borrower or the applicable Credit Party (or Subsidiary thereof) may seek a protective order or other remedy; provided, further, that it shall (1) exercise reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Information, (2) to the extent legally permissible, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrowers, in advance of such disclosure, with copies of any Information it intends to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself, and (3) to the extent legally permissible, reasonably cooperate with the applicable Borrower or applicable Credit Party (or Subsidiary thereof) to the extent such Borrower or such Credit Party (or Subsidiary

210

thereof) seeks to limit such disclosures. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Except with respect to disclosing any Information to any Disqualified Institution, any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 10.13 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests that is required in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

Section 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation.

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

Section 10.15 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, all obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

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

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

211

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

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

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

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense (other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, the Credit Parties.

Section 10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

212

Section 10.17 Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (a) the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (b) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement shall control, and (c) each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to execute any such Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

(b) Each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may enter into any intercreditor agreement and/or subordination agreement pursuant to, or contemplated by, the terms of this Credit Agreement (including with respect to Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 and defined terms referenced therein) on its behalf and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof and, in each case, consents and agrees to the appointment of Jefferies (or its affiliated designee, representative or agent) on its behalf as collateral agent, respectively, thereunder.

Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral or of any Liens granted to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party on the Shared Collateral (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing) and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction, any applicable law, any Junior Priority Debt Document or any Senior Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that (a) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligations and (b) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Junior Priority Representative, any Junior Priority Debt Parties or any Junior Priority Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations.

SECTION 2.02. Nature of Senior Lender Claims. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced in whole or in part from time to time and (c) the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Junior Priority Representatives or the Junior Priority Debt Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof.

As between each Borrower and the other Grantors and the Junior Priority Debt Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of each Borrower and the Grantors contained in any Junior Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Obligations.

SECTION 2.03. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Junior Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or

The parties hereto (including the Borrowers, on behalf of the Grantors) agree that it is their intention that the Senior Collateral and Junior Priority Collateral be identical, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein. The parties hereto further agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (a) none of the Grantors shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, grant or permit any Lien on any asset to secure any Junior Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset to secure the Senior Obligations, and (b) if any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Priority Collateral Documents, such Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party (i) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Priority Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior Lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (ii) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, each Junior Priority Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Priority Debt Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Junior Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Sections 4.01 and 4.02.

-15-

Collateral, (C) any Junior Priority Representative and the Junior Priority Debt Parties may exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, to the extent provided in Section 5.04, (D) the Junior Priority Debt Parties may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the Junior Priority Debt Parties or the avoidance of any Junior Priority Lien to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (E) the Junior Priority Debt Parties may vote with respect to any Plan of Reorganization in a manner that is consistent with and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, and (F) from and after the Junior Priority Enforcement Date, the Designated Junior Priority Representative may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior Priority Debt Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), but only so long as (1) the Designated Senior Representative has not commenced and is not diligently pursuing any enforcement action with respect to such Shared Collateral or (2) the Grantor which has granted a security interest in such Shared Collateral is not then a debtor under or with respect to (or otherwise subject to ) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (in each case of (A) through (F) above, solely to the extent such action is not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Agreement). In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

-16-

other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Junior Priority Debt Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 3.03. Actions upon Breach. Should any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in

-17-

its or their own name or in the name of a Borrower or any other Grantor) or a Borrower or any other Grantor may obtain relief against such Junior Priority Representative or such Junior Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(d) In the event that each applicable Senior Representative and/or the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Borrowers or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all Senior Facilities, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Junior Priority Representative, the Borrowers or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to the Junior Priority Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01(a) and provided that there is a release of the corresponding Senior Liens or (B) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Junior Priority Representative in its role as Junior Priority Representative without its prior written consent and (ii) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Junior Priority Representative within 10 business days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

(e) The Borrowers agree to deliver to each of the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Senior Debt Documents or the Junior Priority Debt Documents and (ii) any new Senior Debt Documents or Junior Priority Debt Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof.

SECTION 5.04. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrowers and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents and applicable law so long

-22-

as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral in contravention of this Agreement, or of any other action in contravention of this Agreement. In the event any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.

SECTION 5.05. Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Each Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, the applicable Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Priority Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Junior Priority Collateral Documents or granting rights or access to any Shared Collateral subject to such landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling

-23-

the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Priority Representative.

(d) The Senior Representatives shall not have, by reason of the Junior Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, and each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.

(e) Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense and to the extent not otherwise required to act differently pursuant to the terms of any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Junior Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements or notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Junior Priority Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Borrowers and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement.

(f) None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of a Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to any Junior Priority Debt Party, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

SECTION 5.06. When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the occurrence of the Discharge

-24-

of Senior Obligations, a Borrower or any Subsidiary consummates any Refinancing of or incurs any Senior Obligations, then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative) from the Lead Borrower and the new Senior Representative under the agreement governing such Senior Obligations, each Junior Priority Representative (including the Designated Junior Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Borrowers), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Lead Borrower or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Junior Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, (c) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (d) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.

SECTION 5.07. Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the Senior Secured Parties remedies, the Senior Secured Parties agree that following (a) the acceleration of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or (b) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (each, a “Purchase Event”), within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Junior Priority Debt Parties may request, and the Senior Secured Parties hereby offer the Junior Priority Debt Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Senior Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par, plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Senior Obligations (including as a result of the occurrence of any such Purchase Event) and accrued and unpaid interest, fees and expenses, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption). If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Junior Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Senior Representative and the Junior Priority Representative, in each case, at no cost or expense of the Grantors. If none of the Junior Priority Debt Parties exercise such right within thirty (30) days of such Purchase Event, the Senior Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents and this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

SECTION 6.01. Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if a Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash or the sale or use of other collateral or to consent (or not object) to a Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest (a) such use of such cash or other collateral, unless the Designated Senior Representative shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral (in which case, no Junior Priority Representative nor any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall seek any relief in connection therewith that is inconsistent with the relief being sought by the Senior Secured Parties); (b) such DIP Financing, unless the Designated Senior Representative shall oppose or object to such DIP Financing (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Junior Priority Debt Parties from proposing any other DIP Financing to any Grantors or to a court of competent jurisdiction), and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Representatives; (c) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations or the Shared Collateral made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party; (d) any exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law; (e) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral; or (f) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of any Shared Collateral of any Grantor to which any Senior Representative has consented or not objected that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement (without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it may not raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or any comparable

-26-

provisions of any other Bankruptcy Law) with respect to the Liens granted to such person in respect of such assets), provided that the Junior Priority Debt Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law), so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such DIP Financing shall be adequate notice.

SECTION 6.02. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.

SECTION 6.03. Adequate Protection. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority claim (as applicable), which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations and all adequate protection Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties, on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and/or (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all superpriority claims of the Senior Secured Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the Junior Priority Debt Parties are so subordinated to the claims of the Senior Secured Parties under this Agreement; provided that each Junior Priority Debt Party shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of

-27-

such claims, (ii) in the event any Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, are granted adequate protection (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then such Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as adequate protection and security for the Senior Obligations and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing and granted as adequate protection with respect to the Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Junior Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02), and/or (iii) in the event any Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, are granted adequate protection (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Junior Priority Debt Parties (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Junior Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the Senior Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments, then each Junior Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, shall not be prohibited from seeking and accepting adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments (as applicable), subject to the right of the Senior Secured Parties to object to the reasonableness of the amounts of fees and expenses or other cash payments so sought by the Junior Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 6.04. Preference Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of a Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement

-28-

shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 6.05. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, and expenses, and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from the Shared Collateral is made in respect of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, and each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 6.06. No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Junior Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Junior Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.

-29-

SECTION 6.07. Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

SECTION 6.08. Other Matters. To the extent that any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, or such Junior Priority Debt Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Junior Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

SECTION 6.09. 506(c) Claims. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.

SECTION 6.10. Reorganization Securities.

(a) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) No Junior Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan (i) pays off, in cash, in full, the Senior Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations) or (ii) is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Class Debt Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

-30-

SECTION 6.11. Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 6.12. Post-Petition Interest.

(a) None of the Junior Priority Representatives or any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Class Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties).

(b) None of the Senior Representatives or any or other Senior Class Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior Priority Debt Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Junior Priority Representative on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral (after taking into account the Senior Obligations).

ARTICLE VII

Reliance; Etc.

SECTION 7.01. Reliance. All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to a Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Junior Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02. No Warranties or Liability. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of

-31-

the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with a Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Junior Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement or any other Junior Priority Debt Document;

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

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of a Borrower or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to (i) a Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Obligations (other than the Discharge of Senior Obligations subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04) or (ii) any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement.

Miscellaneous

SECTION 8.01. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.22, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Junior Priority Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

SECTION 8.02. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of each Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.03. Amendments; Waivers.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective

-33-

unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) This Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility); provided that any such amendment, supplement or waiver which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Lead Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of, or otherwise materially adversely affects, a Borrower or any Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries or properties (in each case, as determined in the reasonably judgment of the Lead Borrower), in each case, shall require the written consent of the Lead Borrower. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party (and with respect to any amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Lead Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights, or otherwise materially adversely affects, of a Borrower or any Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or properties (in each case, as determined in the reasonably judgment of the Lead Borrower), in each case, with the consent of the Lead Borrower), any Representative that is not a Disqualified Institution may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

SECTION 8.04. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

-34-

SECTION 8.05. Subrogation. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

SECTION 8.06. Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent and in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

SECTION 8.07. Additional Grantors. Each Borrower agrees that, if any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 5.10 of the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement, it will promptly cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex I. Upon such execution and delivery, such Restricted Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Junior Priority Representative and the Designated Senior Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.08. Dealings with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by a Borrower or any Grantor to any Representative to take any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if such action is subject to the provisions hereof), at the reasonable written request of such Representative, such Borrower or such Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to such Representative a certificate of an Responsible Officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, expressly provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating to the proposed action have been complied with or waived, except (a) that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished or (b) conditions that require the approval or satisfaction of any other Person or require actions not in the Borrowers’ or any Grantor’s control.

SECTION 8.09. Additional Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant Senior Debt Documents and Junior Priority

-35-

Debt Documents, each Borrower may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Additional Junior Priority Debt and one or more series or classes of Additional Senior Debt. Any such additional class or series of Junior Priority Debt (the “Junior Priority Class Debt”) may be secured by a second priority or third priority (or lower priority), subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Junior Priority Collateral Documents for such Junior Priority Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Junior Priority Class Debt (each, a “Junior Priority Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Priority Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Junior Priority Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Priority Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. Any such additional class or series of Senior Facilities (the “Senior Class Debt”; and the Senior Class Debt and Junior Priority Class Debt, collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a senior Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Senior Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative;” and the Senior Class Debt Representatives and Junior Priority Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”; and the Senior Class Debt Parties and Junior Priority Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:

(i) such Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex II (if such Representative is a Junior Priority Class Debt Representative) or Annex III (if such Representative is a Senior Class Debt Representative) (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative, the Designated Junior Priority Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative constitutes Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Priority Debt Obligations, as applicable, and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby as Additional Senior Debt Parties or Additional Junior Priority Debt Parties, as applicable;

(ii) the Lead Borrower (a) shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative an Officer’s Certificate identifying the obligations to be designated as Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Priority Debt Obligations, as applicable, and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certifying that such obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured (I) in the case of Additional Senior Debt Obligations, on a senior basis under each of the Senior Debt Documents and the Designated Junior Priority Representative and (II) in the case of Additional Junior Priority Debt Obligations, on a junior basis under each of the Junior Priority Debt Documents and Senior Debt Documents then in effect and (b) if requested, shall have

-36-

delivered true and complete copies of each of the material Junior Priority Debt Documents or material Senior Debt Documents (in each case, other than any fee or side letters), as applicable, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by an authorized officer of the Lead Borrower; and

(iii) the Junior Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.

SECTION 8.10. Refinancings. The Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt may be refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing or replacement transaction under any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document) of any Senior Representative or any Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that any such refinancing or replacement debt shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.09. The Designated Junior Priority Representative hereby agrees that at the request of the Lead Borrower, in connection with refinancing or replacement of Senior Obligations in accordance with Section 5.06 (“Replacement Senior Obligations”), it will enter into a customary agreement with the agent for the Replacement Senior Obligations containing terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise terms and conditions that are customary.

SECTION 8.11. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Representative or Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Collateral Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction;

(b) consents and agrees that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person (or its Representative) at the address referred to in Section 8.12;

-37-

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.10 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

ANNEX I

SUPPLEMENT NO. [ ] (“Supplement”) dated as of [ ], 20[ ], to the FIRST LIEN/SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT dated as of November 12, 2014 (the “First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), among JEFFERIES FINANCE LLC, as First Lien Collateral Agent under the First Lien Credit Agreement, JEFFERIES FINANCE LLC, as Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, and the additional Representatives from time to time party thereto, and acknowledged and agreed to by TYCHE MERGER SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), TRANSFIRST INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), TRANSFIRST PARENT CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), TRANSFIRST HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“TransFirst Holdings” and, together with Merger Sub, the Company and the Parent, the “Borrowers”), TYCHE HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”) and the other Grantors (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto.

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

B. The Grantors have entered into the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement, certain Additional Senior Debt Documents, and certain Additional Junior Priority Debt Documents, certain newly acquired or organized Restricted Subsidiaries of each Borrower that are not Excluded Subsidiaries are required to enter into the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Section 8.07 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries may become party to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Additional Junior Priority Debt Documents and Additional Senior Debt Documents, as applicable.

Accordingly, the Designated Senior Representative, the Designated Junior Priority Representative and the New Grantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 8.07 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, and the New Grantor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants on the date hereof to the Designated Senior Representative and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Bankruptcy Laws and by general principles of equity.

Annex I-1

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic method shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.12 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Lead Borrower as specified in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 8. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse each of the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative for its reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses in connection with this Supplement (including the reasonable and out-of-pocket and documented fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative), in each case, to the extent required by the applicable Senior Debt Documents and Junior Priority Debt Documents, respectively.

PARI PASSU INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT TERM SHEET

(See Attached)

EXHIBIT M

Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement

Term Sheet

The following summary is intended to apply to one or more Intercreditor Agreements (each, a “First Lien Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into in connection with an issuance or incurrence of senior secured Indebtedness (equally and ratably secured with the Secured Obligations) permitted under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (each, “First Lien Pari Passu Debt”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time the “Credit Agreement”), among Tyche Merger Sub, Inc., TransFirst Inc., TransFirst Parent Corp., TransFirst Holdings, Inc., the other Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders and agents from time to time party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank. The following is a summary of all of the material terms that will be contained in each First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, but it is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the provisions that will be contained in each First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each First Lien Intercreditor Agreement will include, in addition to the provisions set forth herein, provisions that are customary or typical or are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent.


*Parties*		The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and one or more Representatives of the lenders or holders (as applicable) of First Lien Pari Passu Debt (each, a “First Lien Representative”), with the Borrowers, Holdings and each other Credit Party acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Secured Obligations and the First Lien Pari Passu Debt shall collectively constitute “First Lien Obligations”. The Secured Parties, First Lien Representative and holders of First Lien Pari Passu Debt shall collectively constitute “First Lien Secured Parties”.

*Existing First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement*		To the extent the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect, (i) each First Lien Representative shall enter into a joinder agreement to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement as an agent in respect of Additional Senior Debt Obligations (as defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with Section 8.09 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and shall at all times be subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement as


		an agent in respect of Additional Senior Debt Obligations in accordance with Section 8.09 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail in the event of a conflict between the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

*Lien Priorities*		So long as the Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) are outstanding, the Liens securing any First Lien Pari Passu Debt will be pari passu in all respects to the liens securing the Secured Obligations.

*Collateral*		The Collateral and the collateral securing any First Lien Pari Passu Debt will be substantially identical, with such differences as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

		If for any reason, the guaranties of, or collateral securing, the First Lien Pari Passu Debt are less extensive than those guarantying or securing, as the case may be, the Secured Obligations, then (a) with regard to Collateral securing the Secured Obligations only, such Collateral shall not be shared with the holders of First Lien Pari Passu Debt and the provisions below under the heading “Application of Proceeds/Turnover” shall not apply to such Collateral or the proceeds thereof and (b) with regard to any amounts received by the Secured Parties pursuant to the respective guaranties, such amounts shall not be shared with the holders of First Lien Pari Passu Debt and the provisions below under the heading “Application of Proceeds/Turnover” shall not apply to such amounts.

*Prohibition on Contesting Liens*		The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the First Lien Representatives will not contest or support any other person in contesting, the priority, validity or enforceability of each other’s liens.

*No New Liens*		Subject to the provisions described above in


		the second paragraph under the heading “Collateral”, if the Administrative Agent,the Collateral Agent or a First Lien Representative acquires any lien on any assets of any Credit Party which assets are not also subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative, as applicable, then the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such First Lien Representative, as applicable, will hold such lien for the pari passu benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the First Lien Representatives until the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or each First Lien Representative acquires a lien in such assets.

*Enforcement*		The Applicable Collateral Agent (as defined below), acting only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative (as defined below), shall (i) control all decisions related to the exercise of remedies with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral and so long as the Collateral Agent is the Applicable Collateral Agent, no First Lien Representative or holder of First Lien Pari Passu Debt shall seek to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral and (ii) constitute the controlling agent under the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the extent then in effect.

		Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations and each series of First Lien Pari Passu Debt, until the date the Discharge of Obligations under the Loan Documents occurs (as defined below), the Applicable Collateral Agent may deal with the Collateral as if the Secured Parties have a Lien senior to the holders of First Lien Pari Passu Debt.

		“Applicable Collateral Agent” means, until the earlier of (x) the date the Discharge of Obligations under the Loan Documents occurs and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date, the Collateral Agent, and thereafter, a collateral agent representing the holders of First Lien Pari Passu Debt at such time.


		“Applicable Authorized Representative” means, until the earlier of (x) the date the Discharge of Obligations under the Loan Documents occurs and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date (unless and until same shall be deemed not to have occurred in accordance with the last proviso to the definition thereof), the Administrative Agent and thereafter, the First Lien Representative of the series of the First Lien Pari Passu Debt constituting the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding series of First Lien Pari Passu Debt (such series, the “Largest First Lien Pari Passu Debt”).

		“Discharge of Obligations under the Loan Documents” means the date on which the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) under the Loan Documents are no longer secured by any of the Collateral.

		“Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date” means 180 days (or such alternative period to be agreed among Administrative Agent, First Lien Representative and Borrower Agent) after the acceleration of the Largest First Lien Pari Passu Debt; provided that such date shall be stayed and shall not occur if (1) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has commenced and is diligently pursuing any enforcement action with respect to the Collateral or (2) the Credit Party which has granted a security interest in the Collateral is then a debtor subject to an insolvency or liquidation proceedings; provided further, if the circumstances described in clause (1) or (2) above subsequently occur, the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date shall be deemed (prospectively only) not to have occurred.

*Application of Proceeds/Turnover*		Subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent then in effect), the proceeds of any liquidation, foreclosure, enforcement or similar action


		related to the Collateral will be applied in the following order of priority (following the prior application of proceeds in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement):

		First, to pay agent fees, expenses and indemnities;

		Second, on a pro rata basis, to pay the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the applicable documents relating to each series of such First Lien Pari Passu Debt (treating the payment of principal, interest, premium (if any) and fees in respect to loans constituting First Lien Pari Passu Debt in the same manner as with respect to loans under the Credit Agreement); and Third, to be applied in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent any amounts are still owed in respect thereof; otherwise to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing and in addition to the provisions described above in the second paragraph under the heading “Collateral”, each holder of First Lien Obligations shall bear the risk of (x) any failure to perfect (or to create) any Liens securing such First Lien Obligations and (y) any intervening Liens created after the perfection of Liens securing prior perfected First Lien Obligations and before the perfection of Liens securing subsequently incurred First Lien Obligations.

*Release of Collateral*		The Collateral shall be released automatically from securing the First Lien Pari Passu Debt upon any sale of Collateral in which the liens securing the Secured Obligations are released, in the event that such sale is effected as a result of the Applicable Collateral Agent exercising remedies against all or a portion of the Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof.


*Bankruptcy*		In connection with any insolvency proceeding of any Credit Party:

		If (1) such Credit Party, as debtor-in-possession, moves for approval of debtor-in-possession financing (a “DIP Financing”) and (2) the Applicable Authorized Representative does not object to such DIP Financing, then (i) to the extent the liens securing such DIP Financing (the “DIP Financing Liens”) are senior to the Liens on any Collateral for the benefit of the holders of First Lien Obligations, each of the Non-Controlling Secured Parties (as defined below) shall subordinate its Liens with respect to such Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (as defined below) (other than any Liens of any holders of First Lien Obligations constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any Collateral, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Collateral, in each case so long as (A) the holders of First Lien Obligations retain the benefit of their Liens on such Collateral pledged to the DIP Financing lenders, (B) the holders of First Lien Obligations are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any other holders of First Lien Obligations as adequate protection or otherwise, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (D) if any holders of First Lien Obligations are granted adequate protection, in connection with such DIP Financing or cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

		“Controlling Secured Parties” means, at any time when the Collateral Agent is the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties, and at any other time, the holders of First Lien Obligations whose authorized representative is the Applicable Authorized Representative at such time.


		“Non-Controlling Secured Parties” means, at any time, the holders of First Lien Obligations which are not at such time Controlling Secured Parties.

		No holder of First Lien Obligations receiving adequate protection shall object to any other holders of First Lien Obligations receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such holder of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

*Amendment of Documents*		Documents entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement or the First Lien Pari Passu Debt may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Credit Agreement and the First Lien Pari Passu Debt may be refinanced, in each case without the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party, any First Lien Representative or any holders of any First Lien Pari Passu Debt; provided, that a representative of the holders of any refinancing debt shall bind itself in writing to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, no security document entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement or the First Lien Pari Passu Debt may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification would contravene any of the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.


*Amendments, Waivers under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement*		The First Lien Intercreditor Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative party thereto; provided that additional Credit Parties may be added as parties to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the provisions thereof without consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any First Lien Representative; provided further that such amendment, modification or waiver will require the Borrower’s consent if it amends, modifies or waives the rights, interests or liabilities, or affects the privileges of, the Borrower or any Credit Party.
