(e) For purposes of calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination determined in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable Test Period. (f) If any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is Incurred to refinance Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock initially incurred (or, to refinance Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to refinance Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock initially incurred) in reliance on any provision of Section 7.02(b) measured by reference to a percentage of Total Assets at the time of incurrence, and such refinancing would cause such percentage of Total Assets to be exceeded if calculated based on the Total Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Total Assets shall not be deemed to be exceeded (and such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall be deemed permitted) so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed an amount equal to the principal amount of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) incurred or payable in connection with such refinancing. (g) If any Liens securing Indebtedness or other obligations are incurred to refinance Liens securing Indebtedness or other obligations initially incurred (or, to refinance Liens incurred to refinance Liens initially incurred) in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Total Assets at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness or other 69 1002217597 1001820109v3
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, shall not exceed such Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitment.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice with respect to the Additional Tranche A Term Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Additional Tranche A Term Lender, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Lender, of the amount of its Pro Rata Share (based on the Additional Tranche A Term Commitments) of the Additional Tranche A Term Loans and (ii) Additional Tranche A Term Loans shall be made by the Additional Tranche A Term Lenders and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Lenders.

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 74 1002217597 1001820109v3
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term βAdministrative Agentβ as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; and (e) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the relevant L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the relevant L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the relevant L/C Issuerβs usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender 75 1002217597 1001820109v3
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an βAuto-Extension Letter of Creditβ); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the βNon-Extension Notice Dateβ) in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02(a) is not then satisfied. (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit with notice to the Borrower (each such date, an βHonor Dateβ), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the βUnreimbursed Amountβ), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lenderβs Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving 76 1002217597 1001820109v3
Credit Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (a) (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agentβs Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 4:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer. (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lenderβs payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. (iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer. (v) Each Revolving Credit Lenderβs obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lenderβs obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (a) (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice ). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 77 1002217597 1001820109v3
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowerβs instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. (f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Related Parties nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of 79 1002217597 1001820109v3
shall be a minimum of $100,000 and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the relevant Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice (by telephone or in writing), such Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the relevant Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing such Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02(a) is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the relevant Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower. (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (A) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes such Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a). The relevant Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agentβs Office not later than 4:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan, as applicable, to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. (i) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the relevant Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lenderβs payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 84 1002217597 1001820109v3

(iv) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (provided that any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Refinanced Debt), subject to clause (vii) of this Section 2.05(b).

In addition, unless previously terminated in accordance with other terms hereof, the Tranche A Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) 12:01 am, New York City time, on the day immediately following the last day of the Certain Funds Period and (ii) the consummation of the 2015 Acquisition without the use of the Tranche A Term Loans.

(c) (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenderβs share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lenderβs Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 95 1002217597 1001820109v3
exist (except in connection with a Permitted Acquisitionan acquisition or Investment in which case no Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall exist). Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $50,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, those established in respect of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.16) shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental Amendment becomes effective (and after giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount. Any Revolving Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof) (provided the applicable margin applicable thereto may be increased if necessary to be consistent with that for the Revolving Commitment Increase). The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be unsecured, (b) except in the case of the Tranche A Term Facility, shall not mature earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans, (c) except in the case of the Tranche A Term Facility, shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the then longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (d) except as set forth above and, in the case of the Tranche A Term Facility, except as set forth below, shall be treated substantially the same as the Initial Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments) and (e) the Applicable Rate for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders; provided, however, that (i) until April 11, 2015, the interest rate margins for the Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the interest rate margins that may be payable with respect to Term Loans plus 50 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to any class of the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing) and (ii) solely for purposes of the foregoing clause (i), (x) the interest rate margins applicable to any Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable generally to Lenders providing such Term Loans or such Incremental Term Loans based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded; and (z) if the LIBOR or Base Rate βfloorβ for the Incremental Term Loans is greater than the LIBOR or Base Rate βfloor,β respectively, for the existing Term Loans, the difference between such floor for the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Rate, provided that that (i) the Incremental Term Loans shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with, the Initial Term Facility (except to the extent permitted by clauses (b), (c) and (e) above and, in the case of the Tranche A Term Facility, except as permitted by clause (iii) below)), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative 98 1002217597 1001820109v3
Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any existing Facility), and (ii) subject to clauses (b) and (c) above, the maturity date and the amortization schedule applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof and (iii) the Incremental Amendment with respect to the Tranche A Term Facility may, without the consent of the Lenders (other than any Lender or Additional Lender agreeing to have a Commitment in respect of the Tranche A Term Facility), add a financial covenant solely for the benefit of the Lenders under the Tranche A Term Facility and, upon the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any), the Revolving Credit Lenders (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Lenders) and make other corresponding changes to the Loan Documents, including provide that (x) only Lenders holding at least a majority of the Tranche A Term Facility and, upon the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any), the Revolving Credit Facility (voting as one Facility) (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Lenders) shall have the ability to (and be required in order to) amend or waive a breach of such financial covenant, and (y) a breach of such financial covenant shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to other Facilities or trigger a cross-default under other Facilities until the date on which Tranche A Term Loans and, upon the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any), the Revolving Credit Loans have been accelerated and/or the Tranche A Term Commitments (if any) and, upon the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any), the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, in each case, by the Tranche A Term Lenders and, upon the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any), the Revolving Credit Lenders (voting as one Facility).. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender has an obligation to make an Incremental Term Loan or provide a Revolving Commitment Increase, as applicable) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an βAdditional Lenderβ), provided that the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lenderβs or Additional Lenderβs making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.06(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lenderβs applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an βIncremental Amendmentβ) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Loan Party other than the Borrower, the Agents or the Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any 99 1002217597 1001820109v3
Commitments, (2) subject to Section 2.14 to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.14), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Credit Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later Maturity Date than such Class and (4) assignments and participations of Other Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans. (b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date of such effectiveness of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (a) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require compliance with (x) Section 7.11 for any incurrence of Other Term Loans and (y) 4.02(a)(iii) if no Credit Extension is requested on such date) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officersβ certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 2.15(b), references to βCredit Extensionβ in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4.02(a) shall be deemed to refer to the effectiveness of a Refinancing Amendment. (c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $50,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. (d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment. 101 1002217597 1001820109v3
Section 2.16 Extension Offers. (a) Pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Initial Term Lenders or all Tranche A Term Lenders, as applicable, with notice to the Administrative Agent, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Initial Term Loans or Tranche A Term Loans, as applicable, each applicable Loan, an βApplicable Existing Term Loanβ) and on the same terms (βTerm Pro Rata Extension Offersβ), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Term Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lenderβs Applicable Existing Term Loans and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lenderβs Applicable Existing Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Term Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lenderβs Applicable Existing Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lenderβs Applicable Existing Term Loans). Pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Revolving Credit Lenders with notice to the Administrative Agent, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments) and on the same terms (βRevolving Pro Rata Extension Offersβ and, together with Term Pro Rata Extension Offers, βPro Rata Extension Offersβ), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Revolving Credit Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitments and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitments). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to βon the same termsβ in the preceding sentences shall mean, (i) when comparing Term Pro Rata Extension Offers, that the Applicable Existing Term Loans are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable in respect thereto are the same and (ii) when comparing Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offers, that the Revolving Credit Commitments are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable in respect thereto are the same. Any such extension (an βExtensionβ) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an βExtending Lenderβ) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Incremental Term Loan (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the implementation of an Incremental Term Loan to establish an Extended Term Loan shall not count as an Incremental Term Loan for purposes of calculating the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount) for such Lender (if such Lender is extending an existing Applicable Existing Term Loan (such extended Term Loan, an βExtended Term Loanβ)) or a Revolving Commitment Increase for such Lender (if such Lender is extending an existing Revolving Credit Commitment (such extended Revolving Credit Commitment, an βExtended Revolving Credit Commitmentβ)). (b) The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) except as to interest rates, fees, 102 1002217597 1001820109v3
amortization, final maturity date, collateral arrangements and voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements (which shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as the Applicable Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans have been extended, or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the final maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date for the Applicable Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans have been extended, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Applicable Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans have been extended and (iv) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, financial covenant (solely with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments established on the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any)), collateral arrangements and voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Loans. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 10.01 and other changes necessary to preserve the intent of this Agreement. Any such deemed amendment may, at the Administrative Agentβs or the Borrowerβs request, be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and furnished to the other parties hereto. (c) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lenderβs Applicable Existing Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, the commitments and obligations of any Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer can only be extended pursuant to an Extension or otherwise with such Personβs consent. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.16), (i) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the aggregate amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment for any new Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments made in connection with any Pro Rata Extension Offer shall be at least $50,000,000, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Applicable Existing Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment), (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment implemented thereby, (iv) the interest rate limitations referred to in the proviso to clause (d) of Section 2.14(a) shall not be implicated by any Extension[reserved] and (v) all Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are 103 1002217597 1001820109v3
unsecured or, if the Obligations are then secured, secured by the Collateralsame collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (e) Each extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments. (f) (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time after the Closing Date, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, banks or other financial institutions (βNew Revolving Commitment Lendersβ), which may or may not be existing Lenders, may elect to provide a new Revolving Credit Commitment (a βNew Revolving Credit Commitmentβ) hereunder; provided that, to the extent such banks or other financial institutions are not existing Lenders, such banks or institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Such New Revolving Credit Commitment will be in an amount (the βNew Revolving Amountβ) and have the terms specified in the notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, financial covenant (solely with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitments established on the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date (if any)), subordinated collateral arrangements and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, any New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt of a New Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall make a Pro Rata Extension Offer to all existing Revolving Credit Lenders to extend the maturity date of their Revolving Credit Commitments on the same terms as the New Revolving Credit Commitment (each Revolving Credit Lender that accepts such Pro Rata Extension Offer, an βElecting Lenderβ, and each existing Revolving Credit Lender that is not an Electing Lender, a βNon-Electing Lenderβ). Following such election (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments of all existing Revolving Credit Lenders will be permanently reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount in the manner specified by Section 2.06(b) and (ii) the New Revolving Credit Commitment of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders will become effective and the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased by the New Revolving Amount. In connection with the foregoing, each Electing Lender may further elect (a βFurther Electionβ) to provide a New Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder in an amount such that after giving effect to all New Revolving Credit Commitments, the amount of such Electing Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitment will equal the amount of such Electing Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitment prior to any such reduction. In the event any Electing Lender has made a Further Election, the reduction of all Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by the second preceding sentence will instead be made in an aggregate amount to reflect the New Revolving Amount of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the new commitments of all Electing Lenders making a Further Election. Subject to the foregoing, the New Revolving Credit Commitments of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the new commitments of all Electing Lenders making a Further Election will otherwise be incorporated as Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder in the same manner in which Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are incorporated 104 1002217597 1001820109v3
hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.16, including without limitation for purposes of Section 2.16(e). (ii) For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments, (1) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of all Classes derived from each Class in effect prior to such New Revolving Credit Commitments will be the same as the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Class in effect prior to giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments (βPre-Effectivenessβ), (2) the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Electing Lenders will have Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Commitment in effect Pre-Effectiveness, (3) the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Electing Lenders will have Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms as the New Revolving Credit Commitment, (4) each Revolving Credit Lender that is an Electing Lender that has made a Further Election will have an aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments it had Pre-Effectiveness and (5) the New Revolving Commitment Lender will have a Revolving Credit Commitment on the terms of the New Revolving Credit Commitment in an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount. Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of a Defaulting Lenderβs participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lenderβs Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lenderβs Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 11.13, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lenderβs increased exposure following such reallocation. (b) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in Section 2.17(a) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lendersβ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuersβ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(g). (c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer 105 1002217597 1001820109v3

Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) each SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections and Section 10.13) to the same extent as if it were a Granting Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (provided that an SPC shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the SPC granted to such SPC, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the SPC became an SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.

In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate 197 1002217597 1001820109v3

Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or a portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.

In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account F-18

Except with respect to any actions expressly prohibited or required to be taken by this Agreement, each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Applicable Authorized Representative or any First Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by the Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 8.3. Amendments; Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 8.3.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No I-2-63
notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 8.3.1. This Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility); provided that any such amendment, supplement or waiver which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Borrowerβs consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of, or otherwise materially adversely affects, the Borrower or any other Grantor, shall require the consent of the Borrower. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns. 8.3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party (and with respect to any amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Borrowerβs consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of the Borrower or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Borrower), any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.9 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof. 8.4.

The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations.

In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential. 8.5.

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