(B) For purposes of making the computation referred to above, if any Investments, Dispositions or designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries or Restricted Subsidiaries are made (or committed to be made pursuant to a definitive agreement) subsequent to the commencement of the period for which such calculation is being made but on or prior to or simultaneously with the relevant Calculation Date, then such calculation shall be made giving pro forma effect to such Investments, Dispositions and designations as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period in a manner consistent, where applicable, with the pro forma adjustments set forth in clause (o) of and the last proviso of the first sentence of the definition of

“Consolidated EBITDA.” If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment or Disposition that would have required adjustment pursuant to this provision, then such calculation shall be made giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Investment or Disposition had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.

(C) For purposes of determining any financial ratio or making any financial covenant calculation for any period or a portion of a period prior to the first delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 6.1, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be determined based on the most recent financial statements of Holdings that have been furnished as referred to in Section 4.1, and, to the extent that pro forma compliance with the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is required, the levels for such Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be the levels set forth in Section 7.1(a) for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2012.

The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments of either Class during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date or (ii) in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date), specifying (v) whether such borrowing is to be

made under the Dollar Revolving Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments; (w) the amount, Currency (in the case of Multicurrency Revolving Loans) and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (x) the requested Borrowing Date, (y) in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, whether such Revolving Loan is to be an ABR Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan and (z) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing by the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments of either Class shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments of the respective Class are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof; provided that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments of either Class that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7(a). Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class thereof. Each Revolving Lender of such Class will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 9:00 A.M., Local Time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

If no election as to the Class of Revolving Loans is requested, and the Loans requested are denominated in Dollars, such election shall be deemed to be made under the Dollar Revolving Commitments. In the case of Multicurrency Revolving Loans, if no election as to the Currency of such Loan is specified, then the requested Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of a Revolving Loan is specified, then the requested Loan shall be an ABR Loan, unless an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified, in which case the requested Loan shall be a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Loan, (i) if the Currency specified for such Loan is denominated in Dollars (or if no Currency has been so specified), the requested Loan shall be made instead as an ABR Loan, and (ii) if the Currency specified for such Loan is an Agreed Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

2.6 Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender with respect to the Dollar Revolving Commitments agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Dollar Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Dollar Swingline Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and such Swingline Lender shall not make, any Dollar Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Dollar Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments under the Dollar Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Dollar Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving

Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Multicurrency Swingline Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and such Swingline Lender shall not make, any Multicurrency Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Multicurrency Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments under the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Multicurrency Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(c) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender of the applicable Class the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan of such Class on the earlier of the date five Business Days after the Borrowing Date of such Swingline Loan and the Revolving Termination Date.

2.7 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender of the applicable Class and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period) and (iii) whether such borrowing is to be made under the Dollar Revolving Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the applicable Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by such Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or as otherwise directed by the Borrower on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender with respect to each Class, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs such Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by such Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class to make, and each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Dollar Revolving Percentage or Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay such Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall make the amount of Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender of the applicable Class, in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by

Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans of the applicable Class by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to the product of (A) such Revolving Lender’s Dollar Revolving Percentage or Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable, times (B) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of the applicable Class then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount with respect to any Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loans (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Swingline Lender), the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount with respect thereto (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all such Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event there is a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage with respect to all outstanding Swingline Loans will automatically be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such reallocation (provided, that such amounts shall be automatically reallocated upon the cure or waiver of such Default or Event of Default) and that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, upon five Business Days’ written notice from the Swingline Lender, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of any Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.7(f)). So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make a Swingline Loan to the extent that the sum of the Revolving Extensions of Credit of the Non-Defaulting Lenders after giving effect to such Swingline Loan would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Non-Defaulting Lenders.

2.8 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender made to the Borrower outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8) and (ii) the principal amount of each outstanding Term Loan of such Term Lender made to the Borrower in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of and Currency of any principal, interest and fees, as applicable, due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.9 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date; provided that (i) for purposes of calculating any fees owing in accordance with this Section 2.9(a), the Available Revolving Commitment for the Swingline Lender shall exclude any outstanding Swingline Loans and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not be entitled to any commitment fee with respect to its Swingline Commitment separate from that to which it is entitled with respect to its Available Revolving Commitment; provided, further, that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Available Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time and (ii) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Available Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent.

2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments of either Class or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments of such Class; provided that no such termination or reduction of such Revolving Commitments of a Class shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans of such Class made on the effective date thereof, the total Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Class would exceed the total Revolving Commitments of such Class. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments of such Class then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if such termination would have resulted from a replacement of all of the Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, which replacement shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans, New Term Loans or the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, Local Time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify (i) the date and amount of prepayment, (ii) whether the prepayment is of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Tranche, and if such prepayment is of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the Class of Revolving Loans to be prepaid and (iii) whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided that such notice may be conditioned on receiving the proceeds of any refinancing), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans or New Term Loans of a Class and of Revolving Loans of a Class shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of ABR Loans) or (ii) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans), and in each case shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans of a Class shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof.

2.12 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2) shall be incurred by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied not later than one Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Term Loans or New Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d).

(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date any Loan Party shall for its own account receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied not later than five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans or New Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans or New Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event and (y) on the date (the “Trigger Date”) that is one year after any such

Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans or New Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the portion of any Committed Reinvestment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event not actually expended by such Trigger Date.

(c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if, for any fiscal year of Holdings commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, Holdings shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply an amount equal to (i) the Excess Cash Flow Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans during such fiscal year to the extent accompanied by permanent optional reductions of the Revolving Commitments and all optional prepayments of the Term Loans or New Term Loans during such fiscal year, in each case other than to the extent any such prepayment is funded with the proceeds of new long-term Indebtedness, toward the prepayment of the Term Loans or New Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten days after the date on which the financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders.

(d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans or New Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(b) until paid in full. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurocurrency Loans. Each prepayment of the Term Loans or New Term Loans under Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e) If as of the last Business Day of each calendar month (computed by the Administrative Agent using the current exchange rate as of such Business Day and promptly notified to the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders and the Borrower) the Dollar Amount of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall exceed 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice, prepay Multicurrency Revolving Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans does not exceed the Revolving Commitments as of such Business Day.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.12(d) or 2.18, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12 that is allocated to any Tranche of New Term Loans (such amount for such Class, the “Prepayment Amount”, and each such Class, an “Applicable Class”), at any time when Term Loans remain outstanding, the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such Prepayment Amount to the Applicable Class of Term Loans as provided in paragraph (d) above, on the date specified in this Section 2.12 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each New Term Lender a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each New Term Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay, on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is ten Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, each Applicable Class of Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount for such Class indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Applicable Class of Term Loans. Each New Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Prepayment Amount of the Applicable Class by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after such New Term Lender’s receipt of the Prepayment Option

Notice (which notice shall specify the principal amount of the Prepayment Amount for each Applicable Class to be rejected by such Lender); provided that any New Term Lender’s failure to so reject such Prepayment Amount for any Applicable Class shall be deemed an acceptance by such New Term Lender of such Prepayment Option Notice for such Applicable Class and the amount to be prepaid in respect of New Term Loans of such Applicable Class held by such New Term Lender. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall (i) pay to the relevant New Term Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding New Term Loans of the Applicable Class in respect of which such New Term Lenders have (or are deemed to have) accepted prepayment as described above and (ii) prepay outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amounts declined by New Term Lenders as described above; provided that, upon the making of such prepayments, any amount remaining unapplied (i.e., after the payment in full of the Term Loans) shall be returned to the Borrower.

2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans made to the Borrower to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that (i) a borrowing of a Class of Loans may not be converted into a borrowing of a different Class of Loans, (ii) a borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be converted to a borrowing of a different Currency, (iii) no Eurocurrency Loan denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency may be converted to a borrowing of a different Type and (iv) if any Eurocurrency Loan is so converted on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans made to the Borrower to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that (i) a borrowing of a Class of Loans may not be converted into a borrowing of a different Class of Loans, (ii) a borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be converted to a borrowing of a different Currency and (iii) no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed continuation date, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that (i) a borrowing of a Class of Loans may not be continued as a borrowing of a different Class of Loans, (ii) a borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as a borrowing of a different Currency, (iii) no Eurocurrency Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Multicurrency Exposure would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments and (iv) if any Eurocurrency Loan is so continued on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21 and; provided, further, that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations and; provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans denominated (i) in Dollars shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period or (ii) in another Currency shall be automatically converted to Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period

of one month’s duration on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to a minimum of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan that is a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

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

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment); provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided further no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) on any overdue Loan, Reimbursement Obligation, commitment or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Interest shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

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

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a) and Section 2.15(b).

2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan (the Currency of such Loan herein called the “Affected Currency”):

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement the Eurocurrency Rate for the Affected Currency determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (i) if the Affected Currency is Dollars (x) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Loans, or (ii) if the Affected Currency is an Agreed Foreign Currency, any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Affected Currency under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be ineffective. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which action the Administrative Agent will take promptly after the conditions giving rise to such notice no longer exist), no further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Affected Currency (including the Eurocurrency Rate component of ABR Loans) under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Affected Currency.

2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders of a Class hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of a Class shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages, New Tranche Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages of the respective Class, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders, except (i) for payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate of Accepting Lenders pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement, (ii) for payments to Defaulting Lenders as otherwise herein provided and (iii) reductions of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.24.

(b) Each payment (including prepayments) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans or New Term Loans of a Class shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans or New Term Loans of such Class then held by the Term Lenders of such Class, except (i) as otherwise provided in Section 2.12(f) and Section 10.6, (ii) for payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Margin of Accepting Lenders pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement and (iii) for payments to Defaulting Lenders as otherwise herein

provided. Each mandatory and optional prepayment of the Term Loans or New Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loans and each Tranche of New Term Loans, if any, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans or New Term Loans of such Class, except (A) as otherwise provided in Section 2.11, Section 2.12(f) and Section 10.6, (B) for payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Margin of Accepting Lenders pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement and (C) for payments to Defaulting Lenders as otherwise herein provided. Each mandatory and optional prepayment of Term Loans or New Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as specified by the Borrower. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans or New Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including prepayments) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans of a Class shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans of such Class then held by the Revolving Lenders of such Class, except (i) as otherwise provided in Section 2.12(f) and Section 10.6, (ii) for payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Margin of Accepting Lenders pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement, (iii) for payments to Defaulting Lenders as otherwise herein provided and (iv) reductions of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.24. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit of a Class shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such fact to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the

Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower against any Defaulting Lender.

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

(g) Each obligation of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents related to any Loans or Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars shall be paid in Dollars. Each obligation of the Loan Parties related to any Loans denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be paid in such Agreed Foreign Currency; provided that fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be payable in Dollars. All commitment fees payable pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be calculated and payable in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand (provided that no Event of Default shall occur until the expiration of applicable grace periods); and if the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand (provided that no Event of Default shall occur until the expiration of applicable grace periods).

2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) Except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the date hereof:

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

(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder), or to reduce

any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, in Dollars, within ten Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to penalties, interest and expenses if written demand therefore was not made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such party makes payment for such penalties, interest and expenses.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, solely for purposes of this Section 2.19, (i) the Xxxx Xxxxx Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date.

2.20 Taxes. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as required by applicable law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Taxes, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes, net profits or capital taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the

Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document); (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i), above; (iii) taxes that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e), as applicable, of this Section; (iv) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender (as defined below), (A) any withholding tax that is imposed under the law applicable as of the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, under the law applicable on the date on which the affected partner(s) became a partner of such Non-U.S. Lender) or designate a new lending office, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled (or where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent that the person(s) from which the affected partner(s) acquired their partnership interest was entitled), at the time of assignment or at the time of the designation of a new lending office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this paragraph; or (B) any withholding tax imposed on amounts payable to such Non-U.S. Lender that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender or any other legal or beneficial holder of a Loan under this Agreement or any foreign financial institution through which payments on the Loans under this Agreement are made to comply with any applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirements under FATCA as a precondition to relief or exemption from such withholding tax; and (v) penalties and interest on the foregoing amounts (all such taxes referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) hereof hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes” and all such other Taxes hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.

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

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, such other evidence of payment as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes that the Borrower is required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.20 (or in respect of which the Borrower would be required to pay increased amounts pursuant to Section 2.20(a) if such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were withheld) when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any payments by them of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.20), other than any amounts arising as a result of such Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. A certificate as to any amounts payable under this Section submitted by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Borrower and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two accurate and complete originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or, (ii) in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and two accurate and complete originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-US Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-US Lender. Each Non-US Lender shall (i) promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose) and (ii) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable judgment, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office pursuant to Section 2.23) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “US Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete originals of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form. Such forms shall be delivered by each US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such US Lender. Each US Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).

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

(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity

payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Lender an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to the Borrower pursuant to this Section. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

2.21 Indemnity. Except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (other than lost profits, including the loss of Applicable Margin) that such Lender may actually sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A reasonably detailed certificate as to (showing in reasonable detail the calculation of) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the date hereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law and (c) (i) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, if any, shall be converted automatically on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (an “Affected Interest Period”) to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency having the next shortest Interest Period which is not affected by such adoption of or change in any Requirement of Law and (ii) if all Interest Periods are Affected Interest Periods in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, during the 30-day period following any such Rate Determination Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon a substitute interest rate basis which shall reflect the cost to the applicable Lenders of funding such Loans from alternative sources (a “Substitute Basis”), and if such Substitute Basis is so agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of the Eurocurrency Rate to all Interest Periods for the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency of the applicable Lenders commencing on or after the first day of an Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination

Notice have ceased to apply. If a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, each affected Lender shall determine (and shall certify from time to time in a certificate delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amount) the rate basis reflecting the cost to such Lender of funding its Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency for any Interest Period commencing on or after the first day of an Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice have ceased to apply, and such rate basis shall be binding upon the Borrower and such Lender and shall apply in lieu of the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Periods. If a Rate Determination Notice has been given, then until such Rate Determination Notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no Eurocurrency Loans of the applicable Lenders denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency shall have an Interest Period having a duration equal to an Affected Interest Period. The Borrower may elect to prepay the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency of the applicable Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 at any time.

If any such conversion or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and; provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.

2.24 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace with a financial entity or financial entities, any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (C) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (D) the replacement financial entity or financial entities, (x) if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(i)(B) and (y) shall pay (unless otherwise paid by the Borrower) any processing and recordation fee required under Section 10.6(b)(ii)(B), (E) the Administrative Agent and any replacement financial entity or entities shall execute and deliver, and such replaced Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption to effect such substitution, (F) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Sections 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, (G) if applicable, the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall consent to such amendment or waiver and (H) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in respect of the circumstances contemplated by this Section and to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.24.

In addition, the Borrower shall be permitted to prepay or terminate, without duplication or penalty (but subject to Section 2.21), the Loans and Commitments of any Defaulting Lender. The prepayment of Loans or termination of the Revolving Commitments of any Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18.

2.25 Incremental Loans. (a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new term loans (the “New Term Loan Commitments”) or the increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments hereunder, in an aggregate amount for all such New Term Loan Commitments and increases of the Dollar Revolving Commitments not in excess of (i) $150,000,000 (each such establishment or increase, a “Cash-Capped Incremental Facility”) plus (ii) up to an additional amount (each such establishment or increase, a “Ratio-Based Incremental Facility”) if the pro forma Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is less than 2.75:1.00 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, for any Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, such Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated as though any Dollar Revolving Commitments to be incurred pursuant to this Section 2.25 were fully drawn), as of the end of the most recently ended Test Period. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Term Loan Commitments or increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any New Term Loan Commitments or increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such New Term Loan Commitments or increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments and (ii) any New Term Loan Commitments or increases to the Dollar Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.25 will count towards the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility prior to reducing the maximum amount under the Cash-Capped Incremental Facilities (to the extent permitted by the pro forma calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio required prior to the incurrence of such Ratio-Based Incremental Facility).

(b) Such New Term Loan Commitments or increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments and to the making of any Tranche of New Term Loans pursuant thereto or to such increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to any transaction consummated in connection therewith; (ii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.1 as of the end of the most recently ended Test Period; (iii) the proceeds of any New Term Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions and Investments permitted under Section 7.8); (iv) the New Term Loans shall share ratably in the Collateral and shall benefit ratably from the guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; (v) the New Term Loans shall share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of the existing Term Loans; (vi) the maturity date of New Term Loans thereof shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and the weighted average life to maturity shall be equal to or greater than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans; (vii) all terms and documentation with respect to any New Term Loans which differ from those with respect to the Term Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except to the extent permitted by clause (vi) of this Section and the last sentence of this paragraph); (viii) such New Term Loans or New Term Loan Commitments or increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to

one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and one or more New Lenders; and (ix) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, including any supplements or amendments to the Security Documents providing for such New Term Loans to be secured thereby. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date that have terms and provisions that differ from those of the Term Loans outstanding on the date on which such New Term Loans are made shall be designated as a separate tranche (a “Tranche”) of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, except as the relevant Joinder Agreement otherwise provides. For the avoidance of doubt, the rate of interest and the amortization schedule (if applicable) of any New Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable lenders of New Term Loans (each, a “New Term Lender”) and shall be set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement.

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments or increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each lender with a New Term Loan Commitment or an increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments (each, a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such New Term Loan Commitment or such increase of the Dollar Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.

(d) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche shall be, except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Joinder Agreement, identical to those of the applicable Term Loans and for purposes of this Agreement, any New Term Loans or New Term Loan Commitments shall be deemed to be Term Loans. Each Joinder Agreement 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 opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25.

2.26 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Sections 2.7(f) and 3.4(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise and other than the payment of (i) any commitment fees under Section 2.9, (ii) default interest pursuant to Section 2.15(c) and (iii) Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 3.3, which in each case shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of those Sections) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.7; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender (without duplication of any prepayments of Swingline Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7(f) or the application of any cash

collateral provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to be held as security for any L/C Shortfall (without duplication of any cash collateral provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Sections 2.7(f) and 3.4(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to be held as security in a cash collateral account pursuant to this Section 2.26(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender and shall satisfy the Borrower’s payment obligation in respect thereof in full, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender of a Class, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders of such Class set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) under the Revolving Commitments of such Class for the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations of both Classes taken together would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments of such Class would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated, in the case of the Dollar Revolving Commitments, in Dollars, or in the case of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, in Dollars or in any Agreed Foreign Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is three Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (unless cash collateralized or backstopped, in each case in a manner agreed to by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit (or amend, renew or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit) if such issuance (or such amendment, renewal or

extension) would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law and Barclays Bank PLC shall not be obligated to issue any documentary or commercial letters of credit (as opposed to standby letters of credit) hereunder.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the relevant Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, renew or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event without the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) thereof. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the relevant Lenders, notice of the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) of each Letter of Credit issued by it (including the amount and Currency thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on each outstanding Letter of Credit of each Class requested by it, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Facility (minus the fronting fee referred to below), on the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which fee shall be shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders of such Class and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided that, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided further that any Defaulting Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit shall accrue for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit which has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and with respect to any L/C Shortfall either (i) if the Borrower has paid to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash or Cash Equivalent equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower or (ii) otherwise, for the account of the Issuing Lenders, in each case so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender of a Class for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit of such Class issued by it to the Borrower of 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

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

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender of a Class irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant of such Class, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit of such Class, each L/C Participant of such Class irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Dollar Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as the case may be, in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit of the applicable Class issued by it and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant of a Class agrees with each Issuing Lender of such Class that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit of such Class issued by it for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Dollar Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as the case may be, of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (“L/C Disbursements”); provided that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing

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

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a) such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such

Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event an L/C Participant becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage in all outstanding Letters of Credit will automatically be reallocated among the L/C Participants that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such reallocation (provided, that such amounts shall be automatically reallocated upon the cure or waiver of such Default or Event of Default) and that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially be effected, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.4(d)) to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, an Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit where the sum of the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and their participations in Letters of Credit after giving effect to any such requested Letter of Credit would exceed (such excess, the “L/C Shortfall”) the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, unless the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall, such cash or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on the Business Day following the date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at the Borrower’s request and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”); provided that if such notice is given to the Borrower before 11:00 A.M., New York City time, the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Issuing Lender on the Business Day when such notification was given. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Borrower and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at a rate equal to (i) until the second Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility and (ii) thereafter, the rate set forth in Section 2.15(c).

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents

or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, or any other events or circumstances that, pursuant to applicable law or the applicable customs and practices promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, are not within the responsibility of such Issuing Lender, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents, as determined, in each case, in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents, as determined, in each case, in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

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

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, Holdings and the Borrower hereby jointly represent and warrant (as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries) to the Agents and each Lender, which representations and warranties shall be deemed made on the Closing Date and on the date of each borrowing of Loans or issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder that:

4.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2009, September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2011, and the related statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, as at such date, and the results of, their operations, their cash flows and their changes in stockholders’ equity for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2012, and the related unaudited statements of income and of cash flows for the nine-months ended on such date present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, as at such date, and the results of, their operations, their cash flows and their changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the lack of footnotes).

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto and year end adjustments, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise noted therein).

4.2 No Change. There has been no event, development or circumstance since September 30, 2011 that has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiaries) (a) (i) is duly organized (or incorporated), validly existing and in good standing (or, only where if applicable, the equivalent status in any foreign jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, (ii) has the corporate or organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and in good standing (where such concept is relevant) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing (where such concept is relevant) would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that any such failure to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the extent applicable and except where a failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and Subsidiary of Holdings is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (“OFAC”) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the PATRIOT Act and (iii) the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”). No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for (i) 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 FCPA or (ii) the purpose of funding any activity or business for any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC or the government of a country the subject of U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow or have Letters of Credit issued hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.17. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles

(whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (a) violate the organizational or governing documents of any of the Loan Parties, (b) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (c) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, likely to be commenced within a reasonable time period against Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their Properties or revenues which, taken as a whole, (a) are material and adverse with respect to any of the Loan Documents or (b) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8A, each of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other Property (other than Intellectual Property), in each case, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by the Loan Documents. Schedule 4.8B lists all real property which is owned or leased by any Loan Party as of the Closing Date.

4.9 Intellectual Property.

After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired, backstopped or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower then due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section or otherwise in any Loan Document, presentment, demand and protest of any kind are hereby expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender or Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents and each such Lender and Issuing Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the applicable Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under the applicable Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement:

(a) Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties;

(ii) 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 such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders; provided that neither Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

(b) Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement

or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by the Agents. The Agents 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 Agents 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility), each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility) unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility) prior to any such condition being fulfilled. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts, except to the extent any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any such action (or inaction) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent-Related Party.

9.5 Notice of Default. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that an Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility); provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

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

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, Issuing Lender, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Agent, Issuing Lender, Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Bookrunner in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by each such Agent, Issuing Lender, Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Bookrunner, under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s, Issuing Lender’s, Joint Lead Arranger’s or Joint Bookrunner’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any U.S. Federal Income Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold U.S. Federal Income Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal Income Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in connection therewith.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent 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, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Agents.

(a) Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of such bank with an office in New York, New York, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be

unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring 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 Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If at any time either the Borrower or the Required Lenders determine that any Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender due to a bankruptcy event, the Borrower by notice to the Lenders and such Person or the Required Lenders by notice to the Borrower and such Person may remove such Person as an Agent. If such Person is removed as an Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the date a replacement Agent is appointed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor agent’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor agent. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 9.7 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent while such Agent was acting as an Agent.

9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Agents are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release or subordination of Liens or Guarantee Obligations contemplated by Section 10.16.

9.11 Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Documentation Agents and Syndication Agents. None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Documentation Agents nor the Syndication Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such, and none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, the Documentation Agents

and Syndication Agents shall be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any other Person by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

9.12 Issuing Lender

Each Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Agents in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Section 9, and (b) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Issuing Lender.

9.13 Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claims. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 9.7, as applicable) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender 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, 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 2.9 and 9.7, as applicable.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agents and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights or obligations of the Agents, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Agents may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such

amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or reduce the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or premium payable hereunder (except (A) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates and (B) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (other than in connection with Dispositions permitted hereunder), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of Section 2.18 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby; (v) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Agents; (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.6 or 2.7 with respect to Swingline Loans of any Class without the written consent of the Swingline Lender with respect to such Class; (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the written consent of the Issuing Lenders or (ix) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Prepayment Lenders without the written consent of each Term Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing unless limited by the terms of such waiver; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender or Affiliate Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders or Affiliate Lenders (other than Debt Fund Affiliates)), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender or Affiliate Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender or Affiliate Lender in its capacity as a Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agents, Holdings and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement (it being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to provide or to commit to provide all or any portion of any such additional credit facility) and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, New Term Loans (if any) and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Agents, Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the then outstanding Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans then outstanding plus accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums and expenses, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans or New Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Agents, Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Commitments (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the then outstanding Revolving Commitments of either Class (“Refinanced Revolving Commitments”) with a replacement revolving tranche hereunder (“Replacement Revolving Commitments”); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Revolving Commitments then outstanding, (ii) the maturity date or commitment termination date of such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not be earlier than the maturity date or commitment termination date of such Refinanced Revolving Commitments at the time of such refinancing and (iii) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments than, those applicable to such Refinanced Revolving Commitments, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the final maturity of the Revolving Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (i) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all of the Lenders of any Class to make one or more amendments or modifications to (A) allow the maturity and scheduled amortization of the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and (B) increase the Applicable Margins and/or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (“Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower, each Loan Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement containing the terms of the Permitted Amendments (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent)

100

necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made and (ii) any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, that by its express terms amends or modifies the rights or duties under this Agreement or such other Loan Document of Lenders under a particular Facility (but not Lenders under any other Facility) and that would require Required Lender approval under Section 10.1 may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing signed by the Company or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and the Majority Facility Lenders under each affected Facility as if all such affected Lenders under the applicable Facility were the only Lenders hereunder at the time.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof; it being understood that posting such amendment electronically on IntraLinks, IntraAgency or another relevant website with notice of such posting by the Administrative Agent to the Required Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with any “Required Lender”, “Majority Facility Lender” or “Required Prepayment Lender” votes, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be permitted, in the aggregate to account for more than 50% of the amounts includable in determining whether the “Required Lenders”, “Majority Facility Lender” or “Required Prepayment Lender” have consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such vote. The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agents, the Lenders, Holdings or the Borrower shall not be effective until received.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Agents, Holdings or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Swingline Lender may change its address, telecopier number, telephone number or electronic mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier number, telephone number or electronic mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (in the case of a Revolving Lender) to each Issuing Lender and each Swingline Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire transfer instructions for such Lender.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including the U.S. Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of the U.S. Federal or state securities Laws. In the event that any Public Lender has elected for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) the Agents and other Lenders may have access to such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any Agent or other Lender with access to such information shall have (x) any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (y) any duty to disclose such information to such electing Lender or to use such information on behalf of such electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such information.

103

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE AGENTS, NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, NOR THE PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT, TRUSTEES, ADMINISTRATORS, MANAGERS, ADVISORS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE AGENTS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND SUCH PERSON’S AFFILIATES (collectively, the “Agent-Related Parties”) WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall any Agent-Related Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person or entity for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Platform, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent-Related Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent-Related Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential damages or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices of Term Loan or Revolving Loan borrowings and other telephonic notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and their respective Indemnitees of each of them for all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance of such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower, except to the extent such losses, costs, expenses and liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person. All telephonic notices to and telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereby consents to such recording.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)

104

hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) each Issuing Lender or each Swingline Lender from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7 (subject to the terms of Section 2.18) or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8 and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights or remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. Except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.20, the Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent, each Joint Bookrunner, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all their respective reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and any amendment, supplement or modification thereto, and, as to the Agents only, the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Agents (including one primary counsel and such local counsel as the Agents may reasonably require in connection with collateral matters, but no more than one counsel in any jurisdiction) in connection with all of the foregoing, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Agents, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all their documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the documented fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and similar other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, each Joint Bookrunner, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements arising out of any actions, judgments or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, action or proceeding relating to or otherwise with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of

105

the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its affiliates or shareholders); provided that neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents or controlling Persons or any dispute among the indemnified persons (other than any dispute involving any Agent or Arranger in is capacity as such). All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the Borrower at the address thereof set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Obligations.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign (other than to a Defaulting Lender or any Disqualified Institution without the consent of the Borrower or to any natural person) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of (x) Term Loans or New Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below), and (y) Revolving Loans to a Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), or, in each case, if an Event of Default under Sections 8(a) or 8(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person and (ii) a consent under this clause (A) shall be deemed given if the Borrower shall not have objected in writing to the proposed assignment within ten Business Days after receipt by it of a written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; and

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or of a Revolving Loan to a Revolving Lender; and

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

106

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (I) the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (II) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Assignment and Assumption) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of a Revolving Facility or (y) $1,000,000, in the case of each other Facility, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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 (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

107

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

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to a Defaulting Lender or any Disqualified Institution without the consent of the Borrower or to any natural person) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, including for purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater amounts or such greater payment results from a change in applicable law following the sale of the participation to such Participant. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(d) or (e), as (and to the extent) applicable, as if such Participant were a Lender.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.6, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain a register comparable to the Register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the economic interests of each Participant in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Loans and/or Letters of Credit owing to it) (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person

108

whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

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

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

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Sections 10.6(g) and 10.6(h), neither Holdings nor any Affiliate of Holdings may acquire by assignment, participation or otherwise any right to or interest in any of the Commitments or Loans hereunder (and any such attempted acquisition shall be null and void).

(g) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Term Lender of any Class shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans or New Term Loans of such Class on a non-pro rata basis to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to the following limitations:

(i) Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Class, provided that, (A) the Auction shall be made to Term Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Term Percentages or New Tranche Term Percentages, as the case may be, and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.6(g) and the procedures set forth on Exhibit J hereto and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) With respect to all repurchases made by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 10.6(g), (A) Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall deliver to the Auction Manager a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such repurchase and (2) it affirms the No Undisclosed Information Representation, (B) Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to acquire such Term Loans or New Term Loans and (C) the assigning Lender and Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager an Affiliate Assignment Agreement in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption; and

(iii) Following repurchase by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 10.6(g), the Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Class 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 or any of its Subsidiaries), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of Required Lenders, or for

109

any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In connection with any Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Class, repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.6(g), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

(h) Each Term Lender of any Class shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans or New Term Loans of such Class on a non-pro rata basis to any Other Affiliate (including any Debt Fund Affiliate), subject to the following limitations:

(i) Such assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase;

(ii) The assigning Lender and Other Affiliate purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans or New Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;

(iii) After giving effect to such assignment, Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term Loans or New Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 20% of the principal amount of all Loans then outstanding; and

(iv) Such Other Affiliate shall at the time of such assignment affirm the No Undisclosed Information Representation and shall at all times thereafter be subject to the voting restrictions specified in Section 10.1.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Affiliate Lender shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives.

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

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any

110

currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26(b) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

10.8 Counterparts, Electronic Execution.

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

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

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such

111

prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

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

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may 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 it at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

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

(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 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

10.13 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Agreed Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day

AUCTION PROCEDURES

This outline of auction procedures (the “Auction Procedures”) is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the modified Dutch auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.6(g) of the Credit Agreement, of which this Exhibit J is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a modified Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable Auction Procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager and any other Agent, or any of their respective affiliates, makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Term Lender of any Class should sell its Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Class to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Offer Documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent (or any of their affiliates) in its capacity as a Term Lender or New Term Lender be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Term Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Term Loans or New Term Loans, as applicable, and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans or New Term Loans, as applicable. In addition, each Term Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning this Auction and the Offer Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Summary. Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase all or any portion of the Term Loans or New Term Loans of any Class (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein.

Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Term Lenders of the applicable Class) of the Term Loans or New Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary is willing to purchase in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $20,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of thereof; (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary would be willing to purchase Term Loans or New Term Loans in the Auction; and (iii) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. New York time, as such date and time may be extended (such time, the “Expiration Time”) for a period not exceeding three Business Days upon notice by Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time. An Auction shall be regarded as a “Failed Auction” in the event that either (x) Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received. In the event of a Failed Auction, Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring [five (5)] Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be.

Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Term Lender holding Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”, in the form included in the Offer Document), which shall specify (i) a discount to par expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) of Term Loans or New Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans or New Term Loans of such Class, in an amount not

less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, that such Term Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided, that such Term Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and/or incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class held by such Term Lender. Each Term Lender of the applicable Class may only submit one Return Bid per Auction. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Term Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an Affiliate Assignment Agreement. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiary will purchase any Term Loans or New Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

Acceptance Procedures. Based on Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class for which Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary has received Qualifying Bids (as defined below)). Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall purchase Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class from each Term Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

Proration Procedures. All Term Loans or New Term Loans offered in Return Bids constituting Qualifying Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans or New Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans or New Term Loans to be purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall purchase the Term Loans or New Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on such Term Lenders’ Term Percentages or New Tranche Term Percentages, as the case may and in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount.

Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of Term Loans or New Term Loans of the applicable Class to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Affiliate Assignment Agreement received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon request of the submitting Term Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Affiliate Assignment Agreement received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Term Lender of a Return Bid, such Term Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Term Lender. However, an Auction may become void if the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans or New Term Loans by Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary required by the terms and conditions of Section 10.6(g)(iii) of the Credit Agreement are not met. The purchase price in respect of each Auction shall be paid by Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary directly to the respective assigning Term Lender on a

settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days or such longer period as may be agreed after the date Return Bids are due). Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary shall execute each applicable Affiliate Assignment Agreement received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans or New Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary, which determination will be final and binding. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary, will be final and binding.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, each other Loan Party, or any of their affiliates (whether contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise) or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

This Exhibit J shall not require Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to initiate any Auction.
