The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made pursuant to Section 4.01, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.09. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.08 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.08 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

Section 3.10. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents

(including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.11. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

Section 3.12. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within 15 days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 3.13(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 3.12 or Section 3.13 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein or in any other Loan Document.

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.12 and shall promptly be returned to the Person providing such Cash Collateral following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 3.13, the Person

providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 3.13. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.07(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.12; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.12; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its

obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any payments made on any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and payments made on Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or payments made on Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Percentages under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.13(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable pursuant to Section 3.02(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees on outstanding Letters of Credit under Section 3.06(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.12.

(C) With respect to any fees on outstanding Letters of Credit not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.13(a)(iv), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 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 Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in Section 3.13(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.12.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.13(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any

Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

ARTICLE 4
GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 4.01. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (a) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed Borrowing Date and (b) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax (or, if agreed by the Administrative Agent, by other electronic transmission) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing, an Incremental Term Loan Borrowing or a Revolving Loan Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing (provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (1) (A) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or (B) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or (2) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. Any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three months’ duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 4.01 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. Each applicable Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such

Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Borrowing Request with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

Section 4.02. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below (if applicable), upon irrevocable notice (the “Optional Prepayment Notice”) (except that any Optional Prepayment Notice may be revoked prior to the prepayment date specified therein if it was expressly contingent on the consummation of another transaction, and such transaction was not consummated prior to such date, in which case the provision of Section 4.12 shall apply with respect to such revocation) delivered to and received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and same day in the case of Base Rate Loans, so long as such notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.12. Upon receipt of any Optional Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Optional Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such Optional Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (unless such Optional Prepayment Notice is revoked as contemplated above), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and not prepaid in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid (the “Prepayment Amount”). Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.

(b) In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Tranche B Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Tranche B Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment which are the subject of such Repricing

Transaction. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(c) Prepayments of Term Loans under this Section 4.02 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower in the Optional Prepayment Notice (and, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the applicable class of Term Loans under Section 2.02); provided that such prepayments shall be allocated to the Tranche B Term Loans on a pro rata basis (or on a greater than pro rata basis) determined by reference to all Term Loans then outstanding.

Section 4.03. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If, after the Closing Date, any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence shall be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.09(b).

(b) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale which occurs after the Closing Date or from any Recovery Event which occurs after the Closing Date, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof (the delivery of any Reinvestment Notice being subject to the provisions of Section 8.05(k)), such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within three Business Days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.09(b); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales which occur after the Closing Date, that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $50,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.09(b).

(c) The Borrower shall, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, on each Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply toward the prepayment of the Loans, as set forth in Section 4.09(b), an amount (which amount shall not be less than zero) equal to the sum of (A) (x) the ECF Percentage of Adjusted Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year minus (y) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of Revolving Loans (other than prepayments funded with proceeds of Indebtedness or the issuance of Capital Stock) during such fiscal year to the extent accompanying permanent optional reductions of the Revolving Commitments minus (z) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of Term Loans (other than prepayments funded with proceeds of Indebtedness or the issuance of Capital Stock) during such fiscal year plus (B) if the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments on the Borrower’s Capital Stock paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.06(g) during such fiscal year is greater

than an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) 70% of Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for such fiscal year plus (ii) the Available Amount at the time such Restricted Payments were paid, an amount equal to such excess. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 7.01(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

(d) The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 4.03 shall be subject to Section 4.12 and shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to (i) Section 4.03(a) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and (ii) Section 4.03(b) or (c) at least five Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share or other applicable share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share or other applicable share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 4.03(b) or (c) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower.

Section 4.04. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed conversion, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, three

Business Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of the expiration of the then current Interest Rate, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided further that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), no Base Rate Borrowing may be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month.

Section 4.05. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

Section 4.06. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after all applicable grace periods have elapsed), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after all applicable grace periods have elapsed), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until but excluding the date such overdue 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 Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

Section 4.07. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed. Fees payable pursuant hereto 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 and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Statutory Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.06(a).

Section 4.08. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

Section 4.09. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans).

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment under Section 4.03, but excluding any prepayment under Section 4.02) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders (except to the extent that any applicable Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or any Incremental Amendment for any Class of Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, respectively, provides that such Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to less than pro rata treatment; provided that any prepayment of Term Loans required as a result of the incurrence of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied solely

to the applicable Class or tranche of Refinanced Debt). Each prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans under Section 4.03 shall be applied first, in direct order of maturity to the next eight scheduled installments of principal due in respect of Tranche B Term Loans, second, on a pro rata basis among the installments of principal remaining to be made with respect of Tranche B Term Loans and third, if no Tranche B Term Loans are outstanding, to the prepayment of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 4.09(c) (with no corresponding permanent reduction of commitments). Each prepayment of any other Class of Term Loans shall be applied as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of such Term Loans.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders; provided that prepayments under Section 4.03 shall first be applied as provided by Section 4.09(b) and thereafter, in accordance with this Section 4.09(c) (with no corresponding permanent reduction of commitments).

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, defense or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender in like funds as received any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with

interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

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

(g) This Section 4.09 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement, including differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and payments made in connection with an assignment expressly permitted under Section 11.06. This Section 4.09 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.16 and Sections 12.01, 12.02 and 12.03. This Section 4.09 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made in connection with any assignment, purchase or other transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.06(g) or 11.06(h).

Section 4.10. Requirements of Law. (a) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Loan made by it (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tax on such Lender’s loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto), or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 4.11 and the imposition of, or any

change in rate of, (a) any taxes excluded from the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes in Section 4.11(a) or (b) taxes for which the Borrower is not required to pay an additional amount pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the second sentence of Section 4.11(a));

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

(iii) shall impose on such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, by an amount that such Lender or such Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Change in Law with respect to taxes covered by this Section 4.10(a), any Loan) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall within thirty days after receipt of written notice from such Lender or such Issuing Lender (which shall include the certificate described in clause (c) below) pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital, or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which shall include the certificate described in clause (c) below), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender within 30 days after receipt of such notice such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such holding company for such

reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than four months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such four-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender or the Issuing Lender to the Borrower with appropriate detail demonstrating how such amounts were derived (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.11. Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (a) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located, or as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (b) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any jurisdiction described in clause (a) above, and (c) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or the date such Lender designates a new

lending office, except to the extent that such Lender or such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment or designation, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

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

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority, and as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower or such other Loan Party showing payment thereof.

(d) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (other than any such taxes to the extent that the Borrower would not be required to pay additional amounts pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of the second sentence of Section 4.11(a) if those taxes were deducted from payments under this Agreement) and Other Taxes and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This indemnification payment shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes excluded from indemnification by the Loan Parties under Section 4.10(a) that are attributable to such Lender and 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) Each Lender or Agent (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender or Participant claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement or statements substantially in the form of Exhibit G), Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN (together with any statements or Internal Revenue Service forms, as appropriate), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming, if applicable, complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender, including promptly upon any written request made in good faith by the Borrower or Administrative Agent alleging such obsolescence or invalidity. If a payment made to a Lender or Agent hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 4.10(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any

other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) A Lender or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(h) Each Lender and Agent that is a U.S. Person (other than a U.S. Person that is a domestic corporation for United Stated federal income tax purposes) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Such forms shall be delivered by each such Lender and Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each such Lender or Agent shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender or Agent, including promptly upon any written request made in good faith by the Borrower or Administrative Agent alleging such obsolescence or invalidity.

(i) If any Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower in which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the refund to the relevant indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the relevant indemnifying party under this Section 4.11 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of the indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the refund); provided, however, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant indemnifying party (plus penalties, interest and other charges, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent) to the indemnified party if the indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will an indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this

paragraph (i), 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid and the taxes giving rise to such payments had never been imposed. Nothing contained in this Section 4.11 shall require any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be confidential or proprietary).

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

Section 4.12. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss (other than loss of profits) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of, or receipt by a Lender of principal of, Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, provided that any Lender seeking indemnity pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall have provided notice to the Borrower of such loss or expense within four months of the conclusion of the events giving rise to such loss or expense. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section with appropriate detail demonstrating how such amounts were derived submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.13. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.10, 4.11(a) or 4.16 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use

reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to or, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, to file any certificate or document to, designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, in each case with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11(a).

Section 4.14. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11(a), (ii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver with respect to any of the provisions of the Loan Documents as contemplated in Section 11.01 where such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver has been approved by the Required Lenders in accordance with such Section, fails to consent to any such proposed action or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 4.13 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11(a), (D) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower or the replacement financial institution shall pay any interest, fees (including if such replacement is pursuant to clause (ii) and is in connection with a Repricing Transaction, any prepayment fee, if applicable, payable pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (in which case such assignment shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment and such fee shall be payable by the Borrower)) and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and, in the case of clause (ii) above, shall have consented to such requested amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, (E) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.12 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (F) (x) to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment to such replacement Lender would otherwise be required under Section 11.06, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (y) if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, (G) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (H) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11(a), as the case may be, and (I) any such

replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.14.

Section 4.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.06(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Loan Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.15(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit H-1 or H-2, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

Section 4.16. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on

the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.12.

ARTICLE 5
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

Section 5.01. Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at October 1, 2011 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Refinancing, (ii) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of costs, premiums, fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith by the Borrower based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial information in the Confidential Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower on the delivery date to be reasonable), and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at October 1, 2011, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as at January 1, 2011, January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Ernst & Young LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at each such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as at October 1, 2011, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved

(except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

Section 5.02. No Change. Since January 1, 2011, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.03. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its material property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation (or other entity) and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.04. Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained by a Loan Party in connection with the Transactions, the continuing operations of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (a) consents, authorizations, filings and notices, which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) the filings referred to in Section 5.19 and (c) those consents, authorizations, filings and notices, the failure of which to make or obtain would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement

of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 5.05. No Legal Bar.

Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or the Issuing Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 10.02. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such agent and attorney and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as agent or attorney.

Section 10.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and

112

nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or the Issuing Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. No Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 10.04. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Loan Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

113

Section 10.05. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 10.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 10.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to

114

their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. For purposes of this Section 10.07, a Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage shall be determined based upon its share of the Aggregate Exposure at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

Section 10.08. Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 10.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) with respect to Holdings or the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has

115

accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrower appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Each of the Syndication Agent and each of the Co-Documentation Agents may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 and of Section 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.10. Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

Section 10.11. The Lead Arrangers. The Lead Arrangers, in their capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Section 10.12. The Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents. Neither the Syndication Agent nor any Co-Documentation Agent, in their capacity as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, or shall incur any liability, under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Section 10.13. Secured Cash Management Obligations And Obligations under Specified Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, no Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee Obligation pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Cash Management Obligations and obligations with respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such

116

obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.01. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or decrease the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan owing to such Lender, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan owing to such Lender, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable to such Lender hereunder (except that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of any mandatory reduction of Commitments or any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of mandatory reduction of Commitments shall not constitute an increase of Commitment of any Lender and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender), or impose any additional restrictions on such Lender’s ability to assign any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.01 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Majority Facility Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all

117

or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or amend, modify or waive Section 4.09(a), (b) or (c), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 10 without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby; or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 3.04 to 3.11 without the written consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Extensions of Credit (to the extent applicable) and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Class; provided that the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any borrowing of Incremental Term Loans or any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.01, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 12.01, Section 12.02 and Section 12.03.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms

118

affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as such than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower. Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days after notice thereof.

As agreed to among the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by electronic mail to the electronic mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.

The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 7, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a notice pursuant to Section 4.04 or a notice requesting the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.05, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner

120

specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) 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 Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PERSONS HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM

121

SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

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

Section 11.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 11.04. Survival of Agreement. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Commitments remain in effect, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding (unless collateralized on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Issuing Lender following the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents) or any Loan or other amount (excluding contingent indemnification obligations or obligations under or in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements or Specified Cash Management Obligations) shall not have been paid in full in cash.

Section 11.05. Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Lead Agent and the Issuing Lender for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or

122

therewith (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), the syndication of the Facilities and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one lead counsel (together with special and local counsel, limited to one in each jurisdiction) to the Lead Agents and Issuing Lender and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as such Lead Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Issuing Lender and each Lead Agent for all its reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the fees, disbursements and other charges of one lead counsel (together with special and local counsel, limited to one in each jurisdiction) to the Lead Agents and the Issuing Lender (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each relevant jurisdiction for similarly situated parties) and one lead counsel (together with special and local counsel, limited to one in each jurisdiction) to the Lenders (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each relevant jurisdiction for similarly situated parties), (c) to pay, indemnify and hold each Lender, each Lead Agent and the Issuing Lender harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or the consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Issuing Lender and each Lead Agent and their respective affiliates, successors and assigns and the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, representatives, controlling persons, trustees and members of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, actual losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses or reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to any claims or litigation or other proceeding (regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or equity holders) in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the syndication of the Facilities), including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law

123

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the extent any of the foregoing are determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand is submitted to the Borrower therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.05, shall be delivered to the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.02, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee and (ii) no Indemnitee shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any transaction contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the Borrower shall indemnify and reimburse any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages that such Indemnitee may be liable for to the extent otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Section 11.05. The agreements in this Section 11.05 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an (x) assignment during the primary syndication of the Facilities to persons previously identified by the Lead Arrangers to, and agreed to by, the Borrower, (y) assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person or (z) assignment by the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates); provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment to a Competitor; and

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for (x) an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, except in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment to an Assignee that does not already have a Revolving Commitment or (y) any assignment of Term Loans (including to an Affiliated Lender); and

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the

125

entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall (x) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (y) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent);

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an administrative questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Affiliates 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) and all requisite tax forms under Section 4.11;

(D) in the case of an assignment to a related CLO, the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.01 and (2) directly affects such CLO;

(E) if to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the additional limitations in Section 11.06(g);

126

(F) if to any Affiliated Lender, to the additional limitations in Section 11.06(h);

(G) assignments to Defaulting Lenders shall not be permitted; and

(H) if by a Defaulting Lender, subject to the additional limitations in Section 11.06(j).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 11.05, subject to such Lender’s continued compliance with any applicable requirements contained in such Sections); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02 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 Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

127

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

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.01 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.10, 4.11, and 4.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.07(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.07(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.10 or 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.11(f).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register

128

in the United States 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 Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under any Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans are in registered form under Treas. Reg. § 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.06(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

129

(g) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of Term Loans to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may not purchase more than $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans through open market purchases in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such assignment or would result therefrom;

(iii) immediately upon such acquisition (or immediately upon contribution or assignment thereto from an Affiliated Lender to Holdings or the Borrower as contemplated by Section 11.06(h)(iii)), such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall for all purposes (including under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be automatically, irrevocably and permanently prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall obtain or have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such acquisition, capital contribution or assignment;

(iv) no proceeds of the Revolving Facility may be used to effect such purchase or assignment;

(v) Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not have the right to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to, and will not, attend or participate in meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices;

(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”), any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by or contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and

130

(vii) the cancellation of Term Loans as provided in clause (iii) above shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 4.02 or 4.03, but the face amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in clause (iii) above shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the applicable Class of Term Loans.

(h) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not have the right to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to, and will not, attend or participate in meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders;

(ii) notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any similar term to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the “Required Lenders” or similar term have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any plan of reorganization or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or similar term have taken any actions; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under such other debtor relief law) such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under such debtor relief law) and each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such

131

Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (ii);

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Affiliated Lender may make one or more capital contributions or assignments of Term Loans that it acquires in accordance with this Section 11.06(h) to Holdings or the Borrower solely in exchange for debt or equity interest of Holdings permitted hereunder; and

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Affiliate Debt Funds) may not exceed 25% of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans and any assignments that cause the Affiliated Lenders in the aggregate to exceed such percentage shall be deemed void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment.

Each Affiliated Lender that is an assignee shall identify itself as such in the applicable Assignment and Assumption. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliate Debt Fund nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the number of Affiliated Lenders or Affiliate Debt Funds or the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders or Affiliate Debt Funds.

(i) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents

132

and warrants that it is an eligible assignee for purposes hereof and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption and that it is not a Competitor (or, if it is a Competitor, the Borrower has consented to such assignment), (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 or delivered pursuant to Section 7.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption, (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Revolving Percentage (and notwithstanding the foregoing, if any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs).

Section 11.07. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility or provides for the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the

133

nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding such a participation described above in a Loan or L/C Obligations deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9(a), in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount to the extent due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, other than payroll or trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 11.08. 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

134

the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.09. 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.

Section 11.10. Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter providing for fees payable to the Administrative Agent represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY INCREMENTAL AMENDMENT, ANY EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND ANY REFINANCING AMENDMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 11.12. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

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

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

set forth in Section 11.02 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

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

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

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

(b) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations or obligations under or in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements or Specified Cash Management Obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (unless collateralized on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Issuing Lender following the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents), the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security

136

Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall promptly terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

Section 11.15. Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by or on behalf of the Sponsor or Equity Investor or any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries or any of such Person’s attorneys, agents or accountants pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Agent, any other Lender, any affiliate of any Agent or Lender or any Approved Fund that are made aware of the provisions of this Section prior to disclosure, (b) to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.06(f) or any actual or prospective Transferee or Hedge Agreement counterparty or any “other professional advisor” referred to in clause (c) below, in each case, that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section prior to disclosure, (c) to its Affiliates and to its and their respective employees, legal counsel, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants or professional advisors that are made aware of provisions of this Section prior to disclosure (with such Agent or Lender to be responsible for any breach of this Section by such Persons), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or administrative agency or other Governmental Authority or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law or compulsory legal process, (f) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by such Agent or Lender in violation of this Section 11.15, (g) 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, (h) to assignees or participants or potential assignees or participants who agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 11.15 or substantially similar confidentiality provisions, (i) for the purpose of a “due diligence” defense, (j) which has been or hereafter is obtained by such Agent or Lender from a third party that such Agent or Lender does not know to have violated, or to have obtained such information in violation of, any obligation to the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates with respect to such information, (k) which is independently developed by such Agent or Lender or its representatives without use of or reference to the confidential information or (l) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

ARTICLE 12
ADDITIONAL CREDITS

Section 12.01. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional tranches of first-lien term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments of a Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) both at the time of any such request and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase is made or effected (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) the financial covenants specified in Section 8.01 would be satisfied and the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00, in each case on a pro forma basis at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase is made or effected (and after giving effect thereto) and for the most recent determination period (and assuming such Incremental Facility is fully drawn but without netting of any proceeds received thereunder) and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been paid.

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 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 Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $200,000,000 (the “Incremental Cap”) and not more than $50,000,000 of the Incremental Cap may be in the form of Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases.

(c) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans outstanding hereunder, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans, (iii) shall have interest rates, rate floors, upfront fees, original issue discounts, premiums and amortization schedules (subject to clause (ii) above) and, subject to Section 4.02 and 4.09, optional and mandatory prepayments (including call protection and prepayment premiums) determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof and (iv) may have terms and conditions different from those of the other Term Loans outstanding hereunder; provided that, except with respect to the differences set forth in clauses

139

(ii) and (iii) above, such differences shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, and no existing Lender will have any obligation to provide a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase and the Borrower shall have no obligation to offer any such existing Lender the opportunity to participate in the provision of any such loans or commitment increase) or by any Additional Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, the Issuing Lender) shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 11.06 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(e) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed 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 other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in such Incremental Amendment. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so agrees and the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases. Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to such

140

increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase (each an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (including each such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. If, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 4.12. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) In the event that the All-in Yield for any Incremental Term Loans is more than 0.50% per annum greater than the All-in Yield for the Tranche B Term Loans, then the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-in Yield for such Incremental Term Loans shall not be more than 0.50% per annum greater than the All-in Yield for the Tranche B Term Loans.

(h) This Section 12.01 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.09 or 11.01 to the contrary.

Section 12.02. Amend And Extend Transactions. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower and any Lender may agree, by notice to the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend (an “Extension”) the Maturity Date of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments of a Class (which term, for purposes of this provision, shall also include any tranche of Revolving Commitments outstanding hereunder pursuant to a previous Amend and Extend Transaction) and/or Term Loans of a Class (which term, for purposes of this provision, shall also include any term loans outstanding hereunder pursuant to a previous Amend and Extend Transaction or any Refinancing Term Loan Facility, or any tranche of Incremental Term Loans) to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice and Extension Amendment (each tranche of Revolving Commitments and each tranche of Term Loans so extended, in each case as well as the original Revolving Commitments and Term Loans not so

141

extended, being deemed a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted; any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Class of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted; any Class of Term Loans the maturity of which shall have been extended pursuant to this Section 12.02, “Extended Term Loans”; and any Class of Revolving Commitments the maturity of which shall have been extended pursuant to this Section 12.02, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have offered to all Lenders under the applicable Facility the opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions to each such Lender (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”), (ii) except as to interest rates, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts, premiums, final maturity date (subject to the following clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) and, in the case of Extended Term Loans, optional and mandatory prepayments (subject to Section 4.09) (including call protection and prepayment premiums) and scheduled amortization (subject to the following clause (v)) (which, subject to the following clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the applicable Extension Offer), the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans shall have the same terms as the Class of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans that was the subject of the Extension Notice; provided that the Extension Offer and/or Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date then in effect, (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date applicable to the original Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, respectively, at the time of Extension, (iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans under the applicable Facility not extended pursuant to such Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, 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 Offer (including any Extension Notice and any amendment to this Agreement implementing the terms of such Extension Offer (each such amendment, an “Extension Amendment”)) shall be consistent with the foregoing,

142

(viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (ix) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts, premiums and other terms (subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 12.02(a)) applicable to any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. In connection with any such Extension, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the approval of the extending Lenders of the applicable Extension Series, may effect such amendments (including any Extension Amendment) 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 implement the terms of any such Extension Offer, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes, tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Revolving Commitments or 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 in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches and to provide for the reallocation of L/C Obligations upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any tranche or sub-tranche), in each case on terms not inconsistent with this Section 12.02. Any Extension of the Revolving Commitments shall require the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Issuing Lender to the extent that such Extension provides for issuance of Letters of Credit by such Issuing Lender at any time during such extended period.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.02, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 and (ii) any Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as then available), provided that the Borrower 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’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of any or all applicable tranches accept the applicable Extension Offer.

(c) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall mutually establish procedures with the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.02.

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series or the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Extension Series, in

143

each case to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the determination of such error, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Term Loans under the existing Term Loan Class or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Extensions of Credit) of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or Revolving Commitments were initially converted, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 12.02(a)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 12.02(a).

(e) This Section 12.02 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.09 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.

Section 12.03. Refinancing Amendments. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments in respect of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purpose of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (x) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (A) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) will have such pricing (including interest rates, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts and premiums) and, subject to Section 4.02 and 4.09, optional and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (C) will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Class of Term Loans being refinanced and (D) will have terms and conditions that are otherwise consistent with the applicable requirements set forth in the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness” and (y) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness if such consent would be required

144

under Section 11.06 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender; provided further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to satisfaction, on the date thereof (each, a “Refinancing Amendment Closing Date”), of each of the conditions set forth in such Refinancing Amendment. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 12.03 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount of Indebtedness being refinanced as is then outstanding). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 12.03.

(b) This Section 12.03 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.09 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.
