The exchange of Old Term Loans for New Term Loans described in clause (ii) above constitutes an Open Market Purchase in accordance with subsection 11.6(h) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c)            Each of the Persons executing and delivering a Lender Consent, in each case as a Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement is, immediately prior to giving effect to the Term Loan Exchange, an Existing Lender of record holding, as of the time immediately prior to the Closing Date, Old Term Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. Any Lender Consents delivered by Persons that are not Existing Lenders will be disregarded.

(d)            Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, each Cashless Settlement Lender and the New Term Lender will be deemed to make New Term Loans under the New Credit Agreement, in each case, to the Borrowers in exchange for and in satisfaction of its Old Term Loans. The Borrowers hereby offer to each Existing Lender to exchange all (but not less than all) of the Old Term Loans held by such Existing Lender at the Closing Date for New Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $940 for every $1,000 of Old Term Loans so exchanged, which exchange shall occur immediately following the effectiveness of the Agreement and shall be governed by the New Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), and each Cashless Settlement Lender and the New Term Lender hereby agree to accept such offer of exchange.

(e)            Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement and the funding (or deemed funding) of the New Term Loans by the applicable Consenting Lenders and the New Term Lender immediately following the effectiveness of the Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, (i) all of the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of the Old Term Loans of each Consenting Lender and the New Term Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been immediately and automatically discharged and satisfied in full and (ii) each Consenting Lender’s and the New Term Lender’s Old Term Loans shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Old Term Loans that are exchanged for New Term Loans under the New Credit Agreement. Upon the Existing Administrative Agent marking the Register (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as contemplated below, (x) each Consenting Lender and the New Term Lender shall become a “Lender” and a “Term Lender” pursuant to, and for all purposes under, the New Credit Agreement with respect to its New Term Loans and (y) the commitments in respect of the New Term Loans shall be on file with the New Administrative Agent. The Existing Administrative Agent’s determination and entry and completion of such Register shall be conclusive, in each case, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed between the Borrowers, the New Term Lender and each Consenting Lender that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, each Consenting Lender and the New Term Lender has agreed to accept, as satisfaction in full of its right to receive payment of the amount of Old Term Loans and all other amounts owing to such Consenting Lender or the New Term Lender under or in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement, the right to receive for no additional consideration such New Term Loans in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Consenting Lender and the New Term Lender agrees to waive its right to compensation for any “breakage costs” which may be owing under Section 4.19 of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(f)             No New Term Loans will be exchanged pursuant to the Term Loan Exchange to Existing Lenders that deliver a Lender Consent after 12:00 a.m. on May 1, 2024 and any Lender Consents delivered after such date shall be disregarded; provided that such date may be extended by the Borrower Agent at any time and for any reason.

After giving effect to the Term Loan Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of Old Term Loans that remain outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement is $1,202,709.48 and the aggregate principal amount of New Term Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement is $311,844,954.10. The Old Term Loans shall constitute Term SOFR Loans having an Interest Period of one month, ending on May 29, 2024, at the existing all-in rate.

it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by New Holdings, (ii) any Lender (including any Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be denominated in Dollars, (iv) the amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments made available pursuant to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment thereunder (including Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $10,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining available amount), (v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this subsection 2.4 after the Effective Date and all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(h) shall not exceed at the time of incurrence thereof the sum of (x) $150,000,000, plus (y) the sum of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(h) that ranks pari passu with the Initial Term Loans (limited to the cash payment made by any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary therefor) (in each case other than any prepayment (1) of Incremental Term Loans to the extent such Incremental Term Loans were obtained pursuant to clause (z) below or of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(h) or (2) to the extent funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under an ABL Facility)) in each case prior to the applicable date of incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, plus (z) an unlimited amount (a “Ratio-Based Incremental Facility”) so long as, in the case of this clause (z) only, (i) in the case of Indebtedness secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank pari passu with the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans, on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period and (ii) in the case of Indebtedness secured by Liens on the Collateral that ranks junior with to the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans, on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period (it being understood that the Borrowers may utilize amounts under clause (z) prior to amounts under clause (x) or clause (y) and that amounts under both clauses may be used in a single transaction), (v[reserved], (vi) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans incurred by the Borrowers may be used for any purpose not prohibited under this Agreement, (vivii) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans), unless the requirements of subsection 2.4(c) are satisfied), (vii) if to be incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms as each other then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Agreement, except as to purpose (which is subject to the requirements of the preceding clause (v)) and optional prepayment provisions and mandatory prepayment provisions (which are governed by subsection 4.6; provided that each new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to share in mandatory prepayments on a ratable basis with the other Tranches of Term Loans (unless the holders of the Incremental Term Loans of any Tranche agree to take a lesser share of any such prepayments)); provided, however, that (I) the maturity and amortization of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans, so long as such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (a) a Maturity Date of no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred and (b) a weighted average life to maturity of no less than the weighted average life to maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans with the then longest weighted average life to maturity, (II) the Effective Yield applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans, with the Effective Yield applicable thereto to be specified in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement; provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of the definition of “Applicable Margin”; provided, further, (A) if any Incremental Term Loans, which are secured by a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Indebtedness hereunder, include a Term SOFR or ABR floor that is greater than the Term SOFR or ABR floor applicable to the existing Initial Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be included in the calculation of Effective Yield but only to the extent an increase in the Term SOFR or ABR floor applicable to the existing Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder and (B) to the extent any increase in the Effective Yield on the existing Initial Term Loans is required pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, such increase shall be effected first through an increase in the Term SOFR or ABR floor applicable to such existing Initial Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the differential indicated in the foregoing clause (A) with any remaining required increase effected pursuant to an increase the Applicable Margin to the extent required by the definition thereof, and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II) and clause (ix) below) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans and such other differences as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agentviii) [reserved], (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by the Borrowers shall be Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under each relevant guarantee, on a pari passu or junior basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under each such ~~Collateral and~~ Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and no Incremental Term Loans shall have any obligors, guarantors or collateral other than those applicable to the other Term Loans, (x) each Lender (including any Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in subsection ~~2. 1~~2.1(b) and such Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and (xi) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

-46-

(b)            At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.4, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit N (appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date on which (w) a fully executed copy of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (x) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon upfront or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent to the extent it served as the arranger for the Incremental Term Loan Commitments), (y) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied, and (z) all other conditions set forth in this subsection 2.4 shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule 1.1A shall be deemed modified to reflect the addition of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Notes will be issued at the Borrowers’ expense to such Incremental Term Loan Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of subsection 4.2(e) (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the new Incremental Term Loans made by such Incremental Term Loan Lender.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this subsection 2.4, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Term Loans, in any case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

-47-

         (i)             the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Borrowers, the same Maturity Date and the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

         (ii)            the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same amortization payment dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each amortization payment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis)) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining amortization payment of the respective Tranche proportionately;

         (iii)           on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in subsection 4.7, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender holding Term Loans under the respective Tranche of Term Loans participates in each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche (after giving effect to the incurrence of such new Incremental Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1(b)) on a pro rata basis; and

         (iv)           the Effective Yield of such Incremental Term Loans would not result in an increase in the Applicable Margins for the Initial Term Loans (assuming for this purpose, that such Incremental Term Loans had been incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans).

         To the extent the provisions of the preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Term SOFR Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Term SOFR Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). All determinations by any Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.5            Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

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

(b)            the provisions of this subsection 2.5 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Disqualified Lender), (y) ~~the application of Cash Collateral provided for in subsection 4.6(e)~~[reserved], or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans, other than an assignment to the Borrower Agent or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection 2.5 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(a)            In the event of any incurrence of Indebtedness by any Group Member (other than Indebtedness of any Group Member permitted to be issued under subsection 8.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Indebtedness incurrence shall on the date of such Indebtedness incurrence be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in subsection 4.6(e).

(g)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 4.6, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of a prepayment under clause (d) of this subsection 4.6 that it wishes to decline its share of such prepayment, such share (the “Declined Prepayment Amount”) shall be retained by the Borrowers.

(h)            The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made (i) pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), of this subsection 4.6, (A) in the case of ABR Loans at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment and (B) in the case of Term SOFR Loans at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and (ii) pursuant to clause (d) of this subsection 4.6, (A) in the case of ABR Loans at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and (B) in the case of Term SOFR Loans at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment.

4.7            Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a)            Each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)            ABR Loans shall bear interest for the period from and including the date thereof until maturity thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)            Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9(f) or, at the election of the Required Lenders if all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the Term Loans or (ii) any interest payable thereon, shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any overdue amount under the Loan Documents shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 9, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal and interest, 2% above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection or (y) in the case of overdue fees and other amounts, 2% above the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection, in each case from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d)            Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

4.8            Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)            Interest in respect of ABR Loans at any time the ABR is calculated based on the Prime Rate and all fees hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366, as the case may be, day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect of Term SOFR Loans and ABR Loans at any time the ABR is not calculated based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of each determination of Term SOFR. Any change in the interest rate on a Term Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b)            Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the written request of the Borrower Agent, deliver to the Borrower Agent a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining Term SOFR.

4.9            [Reserved].

4.10          Certain Fees. New Holdings shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein.

4.15          Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a)            If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan and (y) the circumstances described in subsection 4.15(c)(i) do not apply (in each case with respect to this clause (i), “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Term SOFR Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to Term SOFR component of ABR, the utilization of Term SOFR component in determining ABR shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of subsection 4.15(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of subsection 4.15(a), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (i) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of subsection 4.15(a), (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (iii) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Term Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent written notice thereof.

-54-

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower Agent) that the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

 (i)            adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Successor Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

 (ii)            the administrator of the Successor Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which Term SOFR or the Successor Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide Term SOFR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

 (iii)           syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this subsection 4.15, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace Term SOFR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent may amend this Agreement to replace Term SOFR with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace Term SOFR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace Term SOFR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

If no Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) Term SOFR component shall no longer be utilized in determining ABR. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Successor Rate be less than 1.00% per annum for purposes of this Agreement.

-55-

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

For purposes hereof, “Conforming Changes” means, with respect to the use, administration of or any conventions associated with SOFR or any proposed Successor Rate or Term SOFR, as applicable, any conforming changes to the definitions of ABR, Term SOFR, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other technical, administrative or operational matters (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the definitions of Business Day and U.S. Government Securities Business Day, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices and length of lookback periods) as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption and implementation of such applicable rate(s) and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

4.16           Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a)            Each payment by the Borrowers on account of any fee hereunder (other than as set forth in subsection 4.10) shall be made pro rata according to the Term Loan Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans (other than as set forth in subsections ~~4.6,~~ 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19) shall be made pro rata according to the Term Loan Percentages of the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments ratably to each Lender in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Term SOFR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Term SOFR 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 and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension 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.

(b)            [Reserved].

(d)            All payments and prepayments (~~other than mandatory prepayments as set forth in subsection 4.6 and~~ other than prepayments as set forth in subsection 4.18 with respect to increased costs) of Term SOFR Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Term SOFR Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

-56-

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 4.16 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrowers may (i) make prepayments of Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis in accordance with subsection 4.23, (ii) purchase Term Loans on a non pro rata basis pursuant to Open Market Purchases in accordance with subsection 11.6(h) and (iii) extend the final maturity of Term Loans in connection with an Extension that is permitted under subsection 4.24 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension (x) shall constitute a payment or prepayment of any Term Loans for purposes of this subsection or (y) shall reduce the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due under subsection 2.2, except that the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due to a Lender of Extended Term Loans may be reduced to the extent provided pursuant to the express terms of the respective Extension Offer) without giving rise to any violation of this subsection or any other provision of this Agreement. Furthermore, the Borrowers may take all actions contemplated by (A) subsection 4.23 in connection with the prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans, (B) subsection 4.24 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing, amortization and repayments or prepayments of Extended Term Loans) and (C) subsection 11.6(h) in connection with the purchase of Term Loans on a non pro rata basis pursuant to Open Market Purchases and, in each case, such actions taken in accordance with subsection 4.23, 4.24 and 11.6, as applicable, shall be permitted hereunder, and the differing or non pro rata payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this subsection or any other provision of this Agreement.

4.17          Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law occurring after the date that any Person becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to maintain Term SOFR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Term SOFR Loans or to convert all or a portion of ABR Loans into Term SOFR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and such Lender’s Term Loans then outstanding as Term SOFR Loans, if any, shall, if required by law and if such Lender so requests in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such request. To the extent that such affected Term SOFR Loans are converted into ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Term SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s ABR Loans. The Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this subsection 4.17 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term SOFR Loans hereunder (such Xxxxxx’s notice of such costs, as certified to the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).

4.18          Requirements of Law.

(a)            In the event that, at any time after the Effective Date any Change in Law 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:

         (i)             does or shall subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

         (ii)            does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity requirement or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of Term SOFR; or

-57-

         (iii)           does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or, in the case of (i), to such Lender or the Administrative Agent) of converting, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of (i), any Term Loans, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent), on demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) deems to be material as determined by such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) with respect to such Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of (i), any Term Loans, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)            In the event that at any time after the Effective Date any Change in Law with respect to any Lender shall, in the opinion of such Lender, have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of the obligations of such Lender hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and/or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to the Borrower Agent of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection 4.18, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-Tax basis for such reduction.

(c)            If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 4.18, it shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. If any Lender has notified the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.18, the Borrowers at any time thereafter may, upon at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to subsection 4.19, prepay or convert into ABR Loans all (but not a part) of the Term SOFR Loans then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.18 or entitling a Lender to receive additional amounts under paragraph (a) or (c) of subsection 4.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower Agent, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs, reduction in payments, or payment of additional amounts resulting from such event; provided, however, that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

(d)            A certificate submitted by such Xxxxxx, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this subsection 4.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the outstanding Term Loans.

-58-

4.19          Indemnity. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrowers in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Term SOFR Loans of such Lender, including, but not limited to any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term SOFR Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Borrowers in making a conversion of ABR Loans to Term SOFR Loans after the Borrower Agent has given notice in accordance with subsection 2.3 or in continuing Term SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period after the Borrower Agent has given a notice in accordance with ~~clause (b) of~~ the definition of Interest Period, (c) default by the Borrowers in making any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans after the Borrower Agent has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.3 or (d) a payment or prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan or conversion of any Term SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (any of the events referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d), a “Breakage Event”). In the case of a Breakage Event, such loss or expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender of (i) the cost of obtaining funds for the Term SOFR Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Term Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period, but such loss or expense shall not, in any event, include any lost profit or loss of Applicable Margin. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

4.20          Taxes.

(a)            Defined Terms. For purposes of this subsection, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)            Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)            Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)            Indemnification by Xxxxxxxxx. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-59-

(e)            Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of subsection 11.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)             Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this subsection, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)            Status of Lenders.

                 (i)             Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this subsection) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

         (ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that each Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

 (A)           any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 (B)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

-60-

  (1)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

  (2)            executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

  (3)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to a Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

 (4)            to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

-61-

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 4.20(g).

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

(i)             Survival. Each party’s obligations under this subsection shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.21          [Reserved].

4.22          Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)            If any Lender requests compensation under subsection 4.18, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 4.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.18 or subsection 4.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-62-

(b)            If any Lender requests compensation under subsection 4.18, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 4.20, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower Agent to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (A) (i) the Borrower Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in subsection 11.6(d) and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under subsection 4.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to subsection 4.20, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (A) of this proviso, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.23          Prepayments Below Par.

(a)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including subsection 4.16(a) or 11.7(a)) or any other Loan Document, the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans to the Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this subsection 4.23, provided that (A) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders of a particular tranche on a pro rata basis and (B) the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with each Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent (1) stating that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (2) stating that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this subsection 4.23 has been satisfied and (3) specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

(b)            To the extent the Borrowers seek to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower Agent will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrowers desire to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower Agent (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of any Term Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent). The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans to be prepaid, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower Agent with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the Term Loans to be prepaid (the “Discount Range”), and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

-63-

(c)            Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of the Term Loans to be prepaid held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Term Loans to be prepaid specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, shall determine the applicable discount for such Term Loans to be prepaid (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower Agent if the Borrower Agent has selected a single percentage pursuant to subsection 4.23(b) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrowers can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(d)            The Borrowers shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans to be prepaid (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrowers shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrowers shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(e)            Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (and not subject to subsection 4.19), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City Time, three Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. The par principal amount of each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied ratably to reduce the remaining installments of such Term Loans.

-64-

(f)            To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with subsection 4.23(c) above) established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent.

(g)            Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, (A) upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent may withdraw or modify the Borrowers’ offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) no Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice unless the terms of such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment have been modified by the Borrower Agent after the date of such Lender Participation Notice.

(h)            Nothing in this subsection 4.23 shall require the Borrowers to undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

~~(i)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, no proceeds of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility shall be used to fund any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.~~

4.24          Extensions of Term Loans.

(a)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower Agent to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans with a like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted) so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to the immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower Agent and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer until the maturity of such Term Loans, (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest maturity date hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2 for periods prior to the Maturity Date, as applicable, may not be increased, (iv) the weighted average life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans extended thereby, (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower Agent pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers and (ix) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.

-65-

(b)            With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of subsection 4.5 ~~or 4.6~~ and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that (x) the Borrower Agent may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower Agent’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower Agent) of Term Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (or, if less, the then aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loans) (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this subsection (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including subsection 4.5 ~~or 4.6~~ and 4.16(a)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(c)            No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this subsection. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d)            In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Agent shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this subsection.

4.25          Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrower Agent as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including selection of interest rate options, delivery or receipt of communications, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Borrower Agent hereby irrevocably accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication delivered by the Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice to or communication with a Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or other Loan Party. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under this Agreement. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

4.26          Refinancing Facilities.

(a)            ~~The~~At any time prior to the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date, the Borrowers may from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”) or one or more series of debt securities (“Refinancing Notes”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund all or any portion of one or more Tranches of Term Loans (including any Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans) under this Agreement selected by Borrower Agent; provided that such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may not be in an amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any) thereon and upfront fees, original issue discount, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes; provided that such aggregate principal amount may also be increased to the extent such additional amount is capable of being incurred at such time pursuant to subsection 2.4 or 8.2 (and subsection 8.3 to the extent secured) and such excess incurrence shall for all purposes hereof be an incurrence under the relevant subclauses of subsection 2.4 or 8.2 (and subsection 8.3 to the extent secured). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made or the Refinancing Notes shall be issued, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent~~; provided that:~~

                 (i)             the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall not be shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall not have a final maturity before the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced;

-67-

~~(iii)            such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than a Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor;~~

(iv)            in the case of any such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes that are secured such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes are secured only by assets comprising Collateral, and not secured by any property or assets of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral;

(v)            all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemptions terms) shall either, at the option of the Borrower Agent, (I) be consistent with market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of Incurrence or effectiveness (as determined by the Borrower Agent in good faith), (II) be substantially identical to those applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, or (III) (taken as a whole) be otherwise not materially more favorable to the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders and/or Refinancing Note Holders than those applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of such refinancing, except where the Lenders also receive the benefit of such more favorable terms), in each case as determined by the Borrower Agent in good faith; provided that Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and/or security with the remaining Term Loans or may be unsecured so long as the holders of any Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes that are subordinated in right of payment and/or security are subject to an Additional Intercreditor Agreement (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower Agent delivered to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that Borrower Agent has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set out in this clause (v), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions (other than the terms and conditions of the Additional Intercreditor Agreement referred to in this clause (v), satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent provides notice to Borrower Agent of an objection during such five Business Day period (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects))).

(b)            The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any other Borrower Agent that would be an Eligible Assignee of Term Loans to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Lender”) or Refinancing Notes (a “Refinancing Note Holder”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan or purchase Refinancing Notes. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment and subject to the restrictions set forth in clause (a) above, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans made to the Borrowers.

(c)            The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by subsection 4.26(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of interest, fees, amortization or premium in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Notes on the terms specified by Borrower Agent) and hereby waive the requirements of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by subsection 4.26(a). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”). The Refinancing Notes shall be established pursuant to a Refinancing Notes Indenture which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in subsection 4.26(a).

The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers to effect the foregoing.

SECTION 10.      THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1          Appointment and Authority.

(a)            Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and no Borrower have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Requirement of Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b)            The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 10.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

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

The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower Agent), 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.

-114-

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(d)           Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Xxxxxx’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)           Each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)            Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(g)           The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrowers hereby agree that so long as any Loan Party is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in subsection 11.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Investor.” The Borrowers agree that (i) any Loan Documents and notifications of changes of terms of the Loan Documents (including term sheets) and (ii) any materials delivered pursuant to subsection 7.1 (as in existence immediately prior to the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date) will be deemed to be “public-side” Borrower Materials and may be made available to Public Lenders.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1         Amendments and Waivers. No Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter) or any terms thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 11.1. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except pursuant to a document in writing entered into by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties that are party hereto or thereto, as applicable; provided, however, that:

-115-

(a)           no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) directly or indirectly release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or (ii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders;

(b)           no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or scheduled installment of any Term Loan or reduce any scheduled installment of any Term Loan or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the default rate provided in subsection 4.7(c) or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at such default rate) or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or change the method of calculating interest thereon, or reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any fee payable to the Lenders hereunder without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 11.1 or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document without the consent of all Lenders, (iii) amend, modify or waive subsection 4.16(a) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or (iv) amend, modify or waive subsection 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with respect to the priority of payments set forth therein, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders if such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification otherwise satisfies the requirements of this clause (b);

(d)           no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement, modification or consent shall adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the written consent of the Administrative Agent;

(e)           this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent to establish an Extension permitted by subsection 4.24; and

(f)           notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) of this subsection 11.1, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Loan Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.4 enter into an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement; provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this subsection 11.1.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification described in this subsection 11.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon each Loan Party, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Term Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Term Loans, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

-116-

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document.

In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this subsection 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice from the Borrower Agent to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) (a) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (c) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in subsection 11.6(d) and (d) such assignee has consented to the Proposed Change and (ii) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (i) of this proviso, such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans (“Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan 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 Replaced Term Loans, (b) the terms of Replacement Term Loans are (excluding pricing, fees, rate floors and optional prepayment or redemption terms), taken as a whole, no more favorable to the lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to the Replaced Term Loans (other than any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date), (c) the maturity date of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be earlier than the maturity date of the Replaced Term Loans and (d) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Replaced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing.

11.3         No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the 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.

11.4         Survival of Representations and Warranties.

11.5         Payment of Expenses. The Borrowers agree:

(a)           to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, any amendment, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements (including filing and recording fees and expenses) of counsel to the Administrative Agent (which shall be limited to one primary counsel, one FCC counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel to the Administrative Agent in any relevant jurisdiction and expenses attributable to processing primary assignments;

The agreements in this subsection 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-120-

(e)           To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clauses (a) through (d) of this subsection 11.5 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the total Commitment at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Commitment (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent).

11.6         Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

(a)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Term Loans, and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b)           Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions or Lender Affiliates (other than a Disqualified Lender) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Term Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Term Loans or any other Obligation to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Term Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 subsection 11.1(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Term Loans are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Term Loan to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Term Loan; provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof, as provided in subsection 11.7. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the limitations of, subsections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 with respect to its participation in the Term Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred except to the extent the greater amount is attributable to a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquires the applicable participation or (ii) the benefits of subsection 4.20 unless such Participant complies with subsection 4.20(g) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under subsection 4.20(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Term Loan or Note is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

-121-

(c)           Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

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

(ii)           [Reserved]; and

(iii)          the Borrower Agent; provided that (A) (i) no consent of the Borrower Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund or (ii) if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless the Borrower Agent has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof,

sell to any Eligible Assignee (an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (except as otherwise permitted by subsection 4.22 and subsection 11.1) and, to the extent their consent is required, the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below); provided that (A) each such sale pursuant to this subsection 11.6(c) of less than all of a Lender’s rights and obligations (I) to a Person which is not then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund shall be of Term Loans of not less than $1,000,000 and (II) to a Person which is then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund may be in any amount and (B) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of subsection 4.20 hereof; provided, further that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Lender from selling participating interests in accordance with subsection 11.6(a) in all or any portion of its Term Loans (without duplication). For purposes of clause (A) of the first proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with the Term Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20 and 11.5). Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Term Loan Percentages arising from the purchase by such Assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this Agreement.

-122-

Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is an Eligible Assignee or have any liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender or any other Person that is not an Eligible Assignee or enforcing the list of Disqualified Lenders.

For the purposes of this subsection 11.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons)) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(d)           The Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and as agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount (and stated interest) of Term Loans owing to each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Term Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender, an Assignee and any other party required to executed such Assignment and Assumption pursuant to this subsection 11.6, together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (x) in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender or (y) if waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about New Holdings and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

-123-

(e)           The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or to any pledgee referred to in subsection 11.6(f) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of subsection 11.15) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning New Holdings and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of New Holdings and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that no such information shall be provided by any Lender to any Disqualified Lender.

(f)            For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of Term Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment (i) by a Lender of any Term Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such lender in accordance with applicable law and (ii) by a Lender Affiliate which is a fund to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided that any transfer of Term Loans or Notes upon, or in lieu of, enforcement of or the exercise of remedies under any such pledge shall be treated as an assignment thereof which shall not be made without compliance with the requirements of this subsection 11.6.

(g)           The Borrowers, upon receipt by the Borrower Agent of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.

(h)           Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to New Holdings through, notwithstanding subsection 4.16(a) or 11.7(a) or any other provision in this Agreement, an open market purchase on a non pro rata basis (an “Open Market Purchase”); provided that:

~~(i)~~           the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so assigned or transferred to New Holdings shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by New Holdings and (c) the Borrower Agent shall promptly provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of such assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and

~~(ii)           no proceeds of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility shall be used to fund any Open Market Purchase.~~

(i)            Disqualified Xxxxxxx.

(i)            No assignment shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower Agent has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this subsection 11.6, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower Agent of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (i)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (i) shall apply.

-124-

(ii)           If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior consent in violation of clause (i)(i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower Agent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Xxxxxxx, prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this subsection 11.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower Agent shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in subsection 11.6(b), (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws and (iii) in the case of clause (A), the Borrower Agent shall not use the proceeds from any Term Loans to prepay Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders.

(iii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Xxxxxx does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv)          The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower Agent hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Approved Electronic Platform, including that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

11.7         Adjustments; Set-off.

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including subsections 4.23, 4.24 and 11.6), if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Term Loans or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Term Loans or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Term Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Borrower Agent notice of any set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

(b)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a) or Section 9(f), the Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being hereby waived by the Borrowers, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, on account of the liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against the Borrowers in any currency, whether arising hereunder, or otherwise, under any other Loan Document as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx has made any demand for payment and although such liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent (and in the case of a setoff made by a Lender, the Administrative Agent) promptly of any such setoff made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

11.8         Counterparts. 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 by e-mail or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.9         Integration. Except for matters set forth in the Fee Letter, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(a)           it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b)           none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship to any Loan Party, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor; and

11.13       [Reserved].

11.14       Joint and Several Liability. Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with the other Borrowers for the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges that it is a co-borrower hereunder and is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any payment made by a Borrower in respect of Obligations owing by one or more Borrowers shall be deemed a payment of such Obligations by and on behalf of all Borrowers. All Term Loans extended to or on behalf of any Borrower shall be deemed to be Term Loans extended for or on behalf of each of the Borrowers.

Each Borrower agrees that the joint and several liability of the Borrowers provided for in this subsection 11.14 shall not be impaired or affected by any modification, supplement, extension or amendment or any contract or agreement to which the other Borrowers may hereafter agree (other than an agreement signed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specifically releasing such liability), nor by any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations, nor by any other agreements or arrangements whatsoever with the other Borrowers or with any other Person, each Borrower hereby waiving all notice of such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to be bound thereby as fully and effectually as if it had expressly agreed thereto in advance. The liability of each Borrower is direct and unconditional as to all Obligations, and may be enforced without requiring the Administrative Agent or any Lender first to resort to any other right, remedy or security. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each Borrower hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations, the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any other person or any collateral.

-128-

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and releases each other Borrower from all “claims” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) to which such Borrower is or would be entitled by virtue of the provisions of the first paragraph of this subsection 11.14 or the performance of such Borrower’s obligations thereunder with respect to any right of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or similar right, or indemnity, or any right of recourse to security for any Obligations.

11.15       Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below) provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of this subsection, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any pledgee referred to in subsection 11.6(f) or any direct or indirect counterparty to any swap agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its Affiliates or to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than in violation of this subsection 11.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender (it being understood that any rating agency to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower Agent of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e) other than to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners). For the purposes of this subsection, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to New Holdings, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

-129-

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about any Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

11.16       Usury Savings. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if and when the Term Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrowers. As used in this paragraph, the term “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

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

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

11.19       Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

-130-

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

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

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

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

(iii)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

11.20       Conditional Restrictions on Parent. As a condition to the Borrowers’ providing financial statements of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (in lieu of the financial statements of New Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries) pursuant to the second to last paragraph of subsection ~~7.1,~~7.1 (as in existence immediately prior to the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date), Parent hereby agrees that at all times during any fiscal period with respect to which financial statements provided under subsection 7.1(a) or (b) (each as in existence immediately prior to the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date) are in respect of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, Parent will not (a) own any material property other than (x) the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, (y) cash and Cash Equivalents received from distributions from Intermediate Holdings ~~permitted by subsection 8.8,~~, and (z) tax refunds, insurance payments and settlements that in each case are promptly contributed to New Holdings, (b) have any material liabilities other than (i) [reserved], (ii) tax liabilities in the ordinary course of business and (iii) corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business (including expenses relating to insurance) or (c) engage in any business other than (i) owning the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, and activities incidental or related thereto, and (ii) activities related to maintaining its listing as a public company on any applicable exchange.

11.21       Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)           In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Initial Term Loans may from time to time be (a) Term SOFR Loans or (b) ABR Loans or (c) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower Agent and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection 2.3.

2.2            Repayment of Term Loans.

The Borrowers shall repay the Initial Term Loans on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans.

-41-

2.3            Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Term Loans.

(a)            Each Term Loan Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans to be made on the Effective Date, one Business Day) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to ABR Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of ABR Loans. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a Term Loan Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Term Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Term Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower Agent fails to specify a Type of Term Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower Agent fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to, ABR Loans. Any such automatic conversion to ABR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month; provided, further, that the initial Interest Period with respect to the Initial Term Loans shall commence on the Effective Date and end on June 30, 2024.

-42-

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Term Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans or Permitted Pari Passu Notes incurred pursuant to subclause 8.2(h) exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date to a margin per annum such that the Effective Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans or Permitted Pari Passu Notes is 0.50% per annum higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the then outstanding Initial Term Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith); provided, further, (A) if any Incremental Term Loans, which are secured by a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Indebtedness hereunder, include a Term SOFR or ABR floor that is greater than the Term SOFR or ABR floor applicable to the existing Initial Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be included in the calculation of Effective Yield but only to the extent an increase in the Term SOFR or ABR floor applicable to the existing Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder and (B) to the extent any increase in the Effective Yield on the existing Initial Term Loans is required pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, such increase shall be effected first through an increase in the Term SOFR or ABR floor applicable to such existing Initial Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the differential indicated in the foregoing clause (A) with any remaining required increase effected pursuant to an increase the Applicable Margin to the extent required by the definition thereof, and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II) and clause (ix) below) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans and such other differences as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (viii) [reserved], (ix) Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) may only be incurred by the Borrowers and shall be Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under each relevant guarantee, on a pari passu or junior basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under each such and Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and no Incremental Term Loans shall have any obligors, guarantors or collateral other than those applicable to the other Term Loans, (x) each Lender (including any Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in subsection 2. 1(b) and such Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and (xi) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

(v)           all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemptions terms) shall either, at the option of the Borrower Agent, (I) be consistent with market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or effectiveness (as determined by the Borrower Agent in good faith), (II) be substantially identical to those applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, or (III) (taken as a whole) be otherwise not materially more favorable to the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders and/or Refinancing Note Holders than those applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of such refinancing, except where the Lenders also receive the benefit of such more favorable terms), in each case as determined by the Borrower Agent in good faith; provided that Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and/or security with the remaining Term Loans or may be unsecured so long as the holders of any Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes that are subordinated in right of payment and/or security are subject to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower Agent delivered to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that Borrower Agent has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set out in this clause (v), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions (other than the terms and conditions of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement referred to in this clause (v), satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent provides notice to Borrower Agent of an objection during such five Business Day period (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects))).

(c)            The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by subsection 4.26(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of interest, fees, amortization or premium in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Notes on the terms specified by Borrower Agent) and hereby waive the requirements of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by subsection 4.26(a). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”). The Refinancing Notes shall be established pursuant to an indenture which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in subsection 4.26(a). Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto without the consent of any other Lender and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent, to effect the provisions of this subsection 4.26, including in order to establish new Tranches or sub-Tranches in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and to adjust the amortization schedule in subsection 2.2 (insofar as such schedule relates to payments due to Lenders the Term Loans of which are refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans; provided that no such amendment shall reduce the pro rata share of any such payment that would have otherwise been payable to the Lenders, the Term Loans of which are not refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans). The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers to effect the foregoing.

5.5            No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document and the guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation applicable to or binding upon any Group Member or any of its properties or assets, which violations, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in the creation or imposition (or the obligation to create or impose) of any Lien (other than any Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents) on any of its or their respective properties or assets.

5.6            No Material Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or on Schedule 5.6, no litigation or investigation known to any Borrower through receipt of written notice or proceeding of or by any Governmental Authority or any other Person is pending against any Group Member, (a) with respect to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document, or with respect to the Term Loans made hereunder, or (b) which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7            Investment Company Act. No Group Member is required to be registered as an “investment company” (as the quoted term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

Except as set forth in the SEC Filings made prior to the Effective Date or on Schedule 5.9, no Group Member is in default or breach (i) in the payment or performance of any of its Contractual Obligations (other than Indebtedness) in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) under any condition, term or requirement of any FCC License or any order, award or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator binding upon or affecting it or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound or affected in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10          Taxes. Each Group Member has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on its Tax returns or extension requests or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in the books of such Group Member), except any such Taxes, fees or charges, the payment of which, or the failure to pay, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes, fees or other charges (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in the books of the applicable Group Member), except as to any such Taxes, fees or other charges, the payment of which, or the failure to pay, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by the Group Members does not infringe on the rights of any Person in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 10.   THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1            Appointment and Authority.

(a)            Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and no Borrower have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Requirement of Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

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

10.3            Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.

-103-

(d)            shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in subsection 11.1 and Section 9) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender;

(e)            shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(f)            shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower Agent), 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.

10.5            Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.

The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Disqualified Xxxxxx.

(d)            Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Platform Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Platform Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Xxxxxx’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)            Each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Platform Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(g)            The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrowers hereby agree that so long as any Loan Party is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in subsection 11.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Investor.” The Borrowers agree that (i) any Loan Documents and notifications of changes of terms of the Loan Documents (including term sheets) and (ii) any materials delivered pursuant to subsection 7.1 will be deemed to be “public-side” Borrower Materials and may be made available to Public Lenders.

10.13            Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

11.6            Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

(a)            This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Term Loans, and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b)            Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions or Lender Affiliates (other than a Disqualified Lender) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Term Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Term Loans or any other Obligation to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Term Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 subsection 11.1(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Term Loans are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Term Loan to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Term Loan; provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof, as provided in subsection 11.7. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the limitations of, subsections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 with respect to its participation in the Term Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred except to the extent the greater amount is attributable to a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquires the applicable participation or (ii) the benefits of subsection 4.20 unless such Participant complies with subsection 4.20(g) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under subsection 4.20(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Term Loan or Note is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

-117-

(c)            Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(ii)            [Reserved]; and

(iii)            the Borrower Agent; provided that (A) (i) no consent of the Borrower Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund or (ii) if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless the Borrower Agent has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof,

-118-

(d)            The Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and as agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount (and stated interest) of Term Loans owing to each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Term Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender, an Assignee and any other party required to executed such Assignment and Assumption pursuant to this subsection 11.6, together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (x) in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender or (y) if waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about New Holdings and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

-119-

(e)            The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or to any pledgee referred to in subsection 11.6(f) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of subsection 11.15) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning New Holdings and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of New Holdings and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that no such information shall be provided by any Lender to any Disqualified Lender.

(g)            The Borrowers, upon receipt by the Borrower Agent of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.

(h)            Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to New Holdings through, notwithstanding subsection 4.16(a) or 11.7(a) or any other provision in this Agreement, an open market purchase on a non pro rata basis (an “Open Market Purchase”); provided that:

(i)            (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so assigned or transferred to New Holdings shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by New Holdings and (c) the Borrower Agent shall promptly provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of such assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register;

-120-

(ii)            no proceeds of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility shall be used to fund any Open Market Purchase; and

11.7            Adjustments; Set-off.

(a)            Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including subsections 4.23, 4.24 and 11.6), if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Term Loans or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Term Loans or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Term Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Borrower Agent notice of any set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

(b)            Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a) or Section 9(f), the Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being hereby waived by the Borrowers, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, on account of the liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against the Borrowers in any currency, whether arising hereunder, or otherwise, under any other Loan Document as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx has made any demand for payment and although such liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent (and in the case of a setoff made by a Lender, the Administrative Agent) promptly of any such setoff made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

11.13            [Reserved].

11.14            Joint and Several Liability. Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with the other Borrowers for the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges that it is a co-borrower hereunder and is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any payment made by a Borrower in respect of Obligations owing by one or more Borrowers shall be deemed a payment of such Obligations by and on behalf of all Borrowers. All Term Loans extended to or on behalf of any Borrower shall be deemed to be Term Loans extended for or on behalf of each of the Borrowers.

11.15            Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below) provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of this subsection, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any pledgee referred to in subsection 11.6(f) or any direct or indirect counterparty to any swap agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its Affiliates or to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than in violation of this subsection 11.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender (it being understood that any rating agency to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower Agent of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e) other than to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners). For the purposes of this subsection, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to New Holdings, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

11.16            Usury Savings. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if and when the Term Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrowers. As used in this paragraph, the term “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

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

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

11.19            Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

(iii)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

11.20            Conditional Restrictions on Parent. As a condition to the Borrowers’ providing financial statements of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (in lieu of the financial statements of New Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries) pursuant to the second to last paragraph of subsection 7.1, Parent hereby agrees that at all times during any fiscal period with respect to which financial statements provided under subsection 7.1(a) or (b) are in respect of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, Parent will not (a) own any material property other than (x) the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, (y) cash and Cash Equivalents received from distributions from Intermediate Holdings permitted by subsection 8.8, and (z) tax refunds, insurance payments and settlements that in each case are promptly contributed to New Holdings, (b) have any material liabilities other than (i) [reserved], (ii) tax liabilities in the ordinary course of business and (iii) corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business (including expenses relating to insurance) or (c) engage in any business other than (i) owning the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, and activities incidental or related thereto, and (ii) activities related to maintaining its listing as a public company on any applicable exchange.

11.21            Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)            In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)            As used in this subsection 11.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

11.22            Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is not under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature. Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other parties that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Agreement and any other Communication through electronic means and there are no restrictions on doing so in that party’s constitutive documents.
