If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving pro forma effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated.

Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the Borrowing Minimum and Borrowing Multiples, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.01. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Facility Percentage under the Revolving Facility pursuant to which such Swingline Loan was made of the amount specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than the time specified in an Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement (and, in any event, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the day specified in such Borrowing Request), whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Facility Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount under

such Revolving Facility. Subject to receipt of such funds and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for ABR Revolving Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Facility Lenders under such Revolving Facility fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Revolving Facility Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Facility Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Facility Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s ABR Revolving Loan included in the relevant ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Facility Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make ABR Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Facility Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Facility Lender its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan made under any Revolving Facility is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 8.10 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Facility Lender under such Revolving Facility shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Facility Lender funds its ABR Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Facility Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

(g) Additional Swingline Lenders. From time to time, including pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Administrative Agent, or as designated in the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement, and the applicable Revolving Facility Lender designate such Revolving Facility Lender to act as a Swingline Lender hereunder. In the event that there shall be more than one Swingline Lender hereunder, each reference to “the Swingline Lender” hereunder with respect to any Swingline Loan shall refer to the Person that made such Swingline Loan and each such additional Swingline Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as a Swingline Lender to the same extent as if it had been originally named as the Swingline Lender hereunder. Promptly after making any Swingline Loan or receiving any payment with respect to any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with written notice containing the details thereof. On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each Swingline Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with a written list of all Swingline Loans made by it that are outstanding at such time together with such other information as the Administrative Agent may request in its sole discretion.

Section 2.05 The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(a) General.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Facility Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the initial date upon which the Letter of Credit Commitment is greater than $0.00, until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit under any Revolving Facility denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with clause (b) below and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and (B) the Revolving Facility Lenders under each Revolving Facility severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued under such Revolving Facility for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility, (w) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure under such Revolving Facility shall not exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility, (x) no Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure under such Revolving Facility shall exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment under such Revolving Facility, and (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower or any Subsidiary may, during the foregoing period with respect to any Revolving Facility, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility, if:

(A) subject to Section 2.05(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility have approved such expiry date (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed); or

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for such Revolving Facility, unless (i) all the Revolving Facility Lenders under such Revolving Facility have approved such expiry date (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed) or (ii) such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request

or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than the applicable amount set forth in the Incremental Assumption Agreement, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or the applicable amount set forth in the Incremental Assumption Agreement,, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit; or

(C) a default of any Revolving Facility Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.05(c) exists or any Revolving Facility Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into reasonably satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Facility Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Revolving Facility Lender.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be

received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than the time set forth in the Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement (and, in any event, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Central Time), at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount and currency thereof, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is being issued, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (electronically in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Facility Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.01 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility, each Revolving Facility Lender under such Revolving Facility shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage under such Revolving Facility times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not

later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility has been issued, the Revolving Facility Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date under such Revolving Facility (unless Cash Collateralized); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.05(a) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Facility Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.01 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued under any Revolving Facility, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Facility Lenders under such Revolving Facility shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Facility Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.01 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than on the next succeeding Business Day (each such applicable date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer (and the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any failure by the Borrower to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time) in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Facility Lender under the Revolving Facility pursuant to which such Letter of Credit was issued of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Revolving Loans under the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit was issued to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum Borrowing Minimums or Borrowing Multiples, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Facility Lender under the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit was issued shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Revolving Facility Percentage under such Revolving Facility of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(c)(iii), each Revolving Facility Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of ABR Revolving Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.13(c). In such event, each Revolving Facility Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Facility Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.05.

(iv) Until each Revolving Facility Lender funds its ABR Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make ABR Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit under a revolving Facility under which such Lender has a Revolving Facility Commitment, as contemplated by this Section 2.05(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Facility Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Facility Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s ABR Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Facility Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Facility Lender such Revolving Facility Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.05(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Facility Lender its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof under the applicable Revolving Facility in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 8.10 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Facility Lender under such Revolving Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage under such Revolving Facility thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Facility Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit that appears on its face to be valid proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than the defense of payment or performance).

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Facility Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.05(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s (or its Related Parties’) willful misconduct, bad faith, material breach or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral.

(i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall promptly Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(ii) Sections 2.11(d), 2.22 and 7.01 set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of Sections 2.05, 2.11(d), 2.22 and 7.01,

“Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Facility Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances, in each case, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Facility Lenders under any Revolving Facility under which a Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Xxxxx Fargo.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control, and any grant of a security interest in any Issuer Document or other agreement with respect to such Letter of Credit (other than the Security Documents) shall be null and void.

(j) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(k) Additional L/C Issuers. From time to time, including pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed), or as designated in the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement, and the applicable Revolving Facility Lender designate such Revolving Facility Lender to act as an L/C Issuer hereunder. In the event that there shall be more than one L/C Issuer hereunder, each reference to “the L/C Issuer” hereunder with respect to any L/C Issuer shall refer to the Person that issued such Letter of Credit and each such additional L/C Issuer shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as an L/C Issuer to the same extent as if it had been originally named as the L/C Issuer hereunder. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, each L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each L/C Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time together with such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Term Loan or Revolving Facility Loan to be made by it hereunder available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than (i) 10:00 a.m., Central Time, in the case of any ABR Loan denominated in Dollars and (ii) 10:00 a.m., Central Time, in the case of any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars, in each case, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower as specified in the Borrowing Request; provided, however, that if, on the date the Borrowing Request with respect to a Revolving Facility Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 9:00 a.m., Central Time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.06(a)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans under the applicable Facility. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans or Term Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency

Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, that except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Revolving Facility Borrowing or Term Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing and delivered by hand delivery or electronic means to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit D and otherwise satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) each Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowing shall, unless repaid, be continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Facility Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments, if any, of any Class shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to such Class.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments, if any, of any Class; provided, that (i) each such reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of such Class of Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 under such Revolving Facility, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class (excluding any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit) would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class under clause (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender under each Revolving Facility the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan under such Revolving Facility on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to such Revolving Facility, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10, and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan under any Revolving Facility on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to such Revolving Facility.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) 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) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if requested by such payee, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10 Repayment of Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans.

(a) Subject to the other paragraphs of this Section,

(i) the Borrower shall repay Term B Borrowings on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year (commencing on the last day of the second full fiscal quarter of the Borrower after the Closing Date) (each, a “Payment Date”) and on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date, or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day (each such date being referred to as a

“Term B Loan Installment Date”), in an aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans equal to (A) in the case of quarterly payments due prior to the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date, an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans outstanding on the Closing Date on each such Payment Date and (B) in the case of such payment due on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date, an amount equal to the then unpaid principal amount of the Term B Loans outstanding;

(ii) in the event that any Incremental Term Loans are made on an Increased Amount Date, the Borrower shall repay such Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement (each such date being referred to as an “Incremental Term Loan Installment Date”);

(iii) to the extent not previously paid, outstanding Term Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, outstanding Revolving Facility Loans of any Class shall be due and payable on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to such Class.

(i) all Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be applied to the Term Loans pro rata among each Term Facility, with the application thereof being applied to the remaining installments thereof as the Borrower may direct; provided that, subject to the pro rata application to Loans outstanding within any Class of Term Loans, the Borrower may allocate such prepayment in its sole discretion among the Class or Classes of Term Loans as the Borrower may specify (so long as the Initial Term B Loans incurred on the Closing Date are allocated at least their pro rata share of such prepayment);

(ii) any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to the remaining installments of the Term Loans as the Borrower may direct under the applicable Class or Classes as the Borrower may direct;

(iii) any prepayment of Term Loans of a particular Class pursuant to Section 2.11(g) (in the case of Dutch Auctions) or 9.04(i) shall be applied to the remaining installments of such Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis; and

(iv) as a result of an open market purchase, in accordance with the terms herein, may be applied on a non-pro rata basis.

(d) Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term Loans in the applicable Class or Classes of Term Loans (including Refinancing Term Loans and Other Term Loans, if any) to be repaid (so long as the Initial Term B Loans incurred on the Closing Date are allocated at least their pro rata share of such prepayment), pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans in the applicable Class or Classes, irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (other than with respect to Other Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans, to the extent the

Incremental Assumption Agreement relating thereto does not so require); provided that if no Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(e), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, prior to the repayment of any Term Loan, the Borrower may select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic means) of such selection not later than 10:00 a.m. (Central Time), (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, at least one Business Day before the scheduled date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, at least three Business Days before the scheduled date of such prepayment (or, in each case, such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in each case as such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Repayments of Eurocurrency Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid to the extent required by Section 2.13(d).

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (i) of this Section 2.11(a) and subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, upon prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(d). Each such notice shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment.

(i) Each voluntary prepayment of Initial Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) (and excluding prepayments pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.04(i) or (j)) shall be subject to the following:

(A) in the event of any voluntary prepayments of all or any portion of the Initial Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Initial Term B Loans a prepayment premium equal to the Applicable Premium on such date on the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans so prepaid; provided, however, that in the event of any voluntary prepayment in cash of all Initial Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, such prepayment shall be without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.16);

(B) in the event of any voluntary prepayments of all or any portion of the Initial Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Initial Term B Loans a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term B Loans so prepaid;

(C) in the event of any voluntary prepayments of all or any portion of the Initial Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) made on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Initial Term B Loans a prepayment premium equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of the Initial Term B Loans so prepaid;

(D) in the event of any voluntary prepayments of all or any portion of the Initial Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) made on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Initial Term B Loans a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the aggregate amount of the Initial Term B Loans so prepaid; and

(E) No prepayment premium shall be payable on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Subject to Section 2.11(e) and (f), the Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds promptly upon receipt thereof to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10; provided that, with respect to Net Proceeds, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any First Lien Notes or other Indebtedness that is secured by pari passu Liens on the Collateral permitted by Section 6.02, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness with a pari passu Lien on the Collateral and (B) the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of all Classes of Term Loans; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Declined Proceeds can be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, including to prepay or repurchase additional First Lien Notes.

(d) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower in writing at any time that the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at such time exceed an amount equal to 100% of the Revolving Facility Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall (at the Borrower’s option) prepay Revolving Facility Loans and/or the Swingline Loans and/or the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Revolving Facility Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time after any such initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

(e) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower elects (or is otherwise required) to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the second Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Administrative Agent in writing of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment less the amount of Declined Proceeds, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to prepay the Term Loans of those Lenders that have elected to accept such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (each, an “Accepting Lender”) (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loans in the applicable Class(es) of Term Loans in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 2.10) and (ii) the Borrower may retain a portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option and decline such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”). Such Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower and may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11 to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law, applicable organizational or constitutive documents or other material agreements from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, organizational or constitutive document or other material agreement does not permit or otherwise restricts or delays repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation may be effected and an amount equal to such Net Proceeds, which could be repatriated, will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), to the extent provided herein, (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of such Net Proceeds could have an adverse tax cost consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds (other than a de minimis tax consequence), the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), (x) the Borrower

applies an amount equal to such Net Proceeds to such prepayments as if such Net Proceeds had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, Net Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Proceeds is applied to the permanent repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary, and (iii) to the extent that any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary is used to repay Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary, no prepayment with respect to such amounts shall be required.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.11(a) or 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.11(g)), the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans and/or repay Revolving Facility Loans of any Class (with, in the case of Revolving Facility Loans under any Revolving Facility, a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Facility Commitment of each Lender who receives a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), to the Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.11(g); provided that (A) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Term Loans of any Class and/or Revolving Facility Loans of any Class on a pro rata basis with all Lenders of such Class, and after giving effect to any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, there shall be sufficient aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments among the Revolving Facility Lenders to apply to the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations as of such date, unless the Borrower shall concurrently with the payment of the purchase price by the Borrower for such Revolving Facility Loans, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(g) in the amount of any such excess Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations and (B) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating (1) that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (after giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), (2) that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.11(g) has been satisfied (or waived), and (3) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans so prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, as provided in Section 2.11(e), any Declined Proceeds may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

(i) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written revocable notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans and/or repay Revolving Facility Loans of an applicable Class (with a corresponding permanent reduction in Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class) in each case in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term

Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans of such Class (the “Discount Range”), and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

(ii) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and receipt by the Administrative Agent of any required consent from the L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 2.11(g)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class(es) specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, shall determine the applicable discount for Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class(es) (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.11(g)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Loans whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(iii) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans (or the respective portions thereof) (with, in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, a corresponding permanent reduction in Revolving Facility Commitments) of the applicable Class(es) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount;

provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(iv) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), upon revocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 3:00 P.M. Central Time, three Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Borrower and Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.11. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall, unless revoked, be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.

(v) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.11(g)(iii) above) established by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.

(vi) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) the Borrower may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) any Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the date that is three Business Days after the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year, and the date

on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee in Dollars (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Revolving Facility Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee with respect to such Revolving Facility Lender. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Revolving Facility Lender’s Commitment Fee (other than with respect to the Swingline Lender), the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Revolving Facility Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Revolving Facility Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

(b) The Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender; provided that at any time that an L/C Issuer has Fronting Exposure to a Defaulting Lender, until such Fronting Exposure has been reduced to zero, the L/C Participation Fee attributable to such Fronting Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer shall be payable to such L/C Issuer) under any Revolving Facility, through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders under such Revolving Facility shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations (excluding the portion thereof attributable to Unreimbursed Amounts) of such Class, during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to such Revolving Facility or the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings of such Class made by such Lender effective for each day in such period and (ii) to each L/C Issuer, for its own account (x) three Business Days after the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the daily stated amount of such Letter of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any drawing thereunder, such L/C Issuer’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “L/C Issuer Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and L/C Issuer Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the agency fees set forth in the Fee Letter, as amended, modified, waived or supplemented from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

100

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that L/C Issuer Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable L/C Issuers. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest or premium (including any applicable Prepayment Premium) on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided, that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans under any Revolving Facility, upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments with respect to such Revolving Facility, and (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date; provided, that (x) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (y) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan (including any Swingline Loan) prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the Prime Rate under clause (b) of the definition of ABR shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

101

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by electronic means (including the Platform) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the applicable currency shall be ineffective and in the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or L/C Issuer to any Tax with respect to any Loan Document or any Eurocurrency Loan made by it or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 or Taxes described in clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration

102

such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any L/C Issuer has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (other than lost profits) attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount and shall not include lost profits) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

103

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes except as required by law; provided, that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes in respect of any such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required withholding or deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions with respect to Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent), receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such withholding or deductions, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party; (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of Internal

104

Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); (iv) to the extent the Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with appropriate forms and certificates described in Sections 2.17(e)(i) through (iii) and any additional Form W-8IMYs, withholding statements and other information as may be required by law (provided that, where a Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more of its direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Foreign Lender may provide the Non-Bank Certificate on behalf of such direct or indirect partners); or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding on or before the date such U.S. Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower 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 or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of Sections 2.17(e), (f) or (g), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver or that would, in such Lender’s reasonable judgment, subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or that would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any documentation previously provided pursuant to Sections 2.17(e), (f) or (g) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

105

(j) If the Borrower in good faith determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for amounts with respect to which a Loan Party has already paid additional amounts or made indemnification payments, each affected Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in contesting such Tax; provided that nothing in this Section 2.17(j) shall obligate any Lender or the Administrative Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any Taxes or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(j). Any refund received from a successful contest shall be governed by Section 2.17(k).

(k) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the applicable Loan Party’s request, provide such Loan Party with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential), and provided further that such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form or documentation that such Lender or Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver or that would, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, subject such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or that would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Administrative Agent). A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. This Section 2.17(k) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems in good faith to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

106

(l) If any Administrative Agent is a “United States Person”, it shall provide the Borrower, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, with two duly completed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. If any Administrative Agent is not a “United States Person”, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, it shall provide (1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner and (2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), together with required accompanying documentation, with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders. Each Administrative Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any documentation previously provided pursuant to Section 2.17(l) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.17(l) shall require any Administrative Agent to provide any documentation that it is not legally eligible to provide as a result of any Change of Law after the date hereof.

(m) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 2.17, include any L/C Issuer and any Swingline Lender.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of drawings under Letters of Credit, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date specified herein. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

107

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unreimbursed Amounts, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans of other Lenders entitled thereto to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to transactions in connection with an open market purchase, Dutch Auction, Section 2.11(g), Section 9.04(i) and Section 2.19), (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply), and (z) transactions in connection with any Extension, Incremental Term Facility, Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment, Replacement Revolving Facility or Refinancing Term Loan. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the

108

Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay promptly after written demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is the subject of a Disqualification, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, prepay an amount equal to the outstanding principal of such Lender’s Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans on a non-pro rata basis, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder or require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 and 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuer), in each case solely to the extent such consent would be required pursuant to Section 9.04, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans on a non-pro rata basis, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment

109

resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such removed Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment. A Lender shall not be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to this Section 2.19(b) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders directly and affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or more than 50% of such affected Lenders) shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to (x) with respect to a Revolving Lender, terminate any unused Revolving Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and repay the Revolving Loans on a non-pro rata basis or (y) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to (i) the Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of an assignment of Term Loans, such assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and (ii) if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuer); provided, that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment (including any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a)) and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.20 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans in any currency, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans in such currency or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the

110

Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to either (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars if the affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans as Eurocurrency Loans until the last day of such Interest Period, convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans on the last day of such Interest Period (or, otherwise, immediately convert such Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans) or (ii) prepay such Eurocurrency Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.21 Incremental Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable, in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount at the time such Incremental Commitments are established from one or more Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as the case may be, in their own discretion. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or in each case such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”), (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be commitments to make term loans with terms identical to Term B Loans or commitments to make term loans with pricing terms, amortization, participation in mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions, maturity or other terms different from the Term B Loans (“Other Term Loans”), and (iv) in the case of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, the terms of such the terms of such Revolving Loans, including pricing terms, participation in mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions and maturity.

(b) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement, and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that

(i) except as to pricing, amortization, final maturity date, participation in mandatory prepayments and ranking as to security (which shall, subject to clause (ii) through (iv) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders in their sole discretion), the Other Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as the Term B Loans, as applicable, or (y) market terms (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and as set forth in a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower,

111

(ii) the Other Term Loans shall be secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank pari passu with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Term B Loans or, at the option of the Borrower, be secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Term B Loans (provided, that if such Other Term Loans are secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Term B Loans, such Other Term Loans shall be subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to clause (viii) below),

(iii) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Term B Facility Maturity Date in effect on the date of incurrence,

(iv) the weighted average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term B Loans,

(v) except as to pricing, amortization, final maturity date, participation in mandatory prepayments and ranking as to security (which shall, subject to clause (vi) and (vii) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders in their sole discretion and which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include a single financial covenant which would be customary in the market for financings of such type (as determined by the Borrower in good faith)), the Revolving Loans shall have (x) substantially the same terms as the Term B Loans (other than the addition of a Financial Performance Covenant) or (y) market terms (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and as set forth in a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower,

(vi) the Revolving Loans shall be secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank pari passu with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Term B Loans and other Revolving Loans or, at the option of the Borrower, secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Term B Loans and other Revolving Loans (provided, that if such Revolving Loans are secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior to the Liens securing the Term B Loans and/or other Revolving Loans, such Revolving Loans shall be subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement),

(vii) the final maturity date of any Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Term B Facility Maturity Date as of the date of the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Assumption Agreement, and

(viii) with respect to any Other Term Loan that ranks pari passu in right of security with the Initial Term B Loans, (x) if the proceeds of such Other Term Loan are used to finance the acquisition of the Option Properties, the All-in Yield may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of the Initial Term B Loans, so long as:

(A) on the date of incurrence of such Other Term Loans, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio on a Pro Forma Basis does not exceed 5.41 to 1.00; or

112

(B) in the event that on the date of incurrence of such Other Term Loans, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio on a Pro Forma Basis exceeds 5.41 to 1.00, then:

(1) if the Other Term Loans are incurred by a Loan Party prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the All-in Yield of the Initial Term B Loans shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 1.50% and (B) the difference between (i) the All-in Yield of such Other Term Loans and (ii) the All-in Yield of the Initial Term B Loans;

(2) if the Other Term Loans are incurred by a Loan Party on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the All-in Yield of the Initial Term B Loans shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 1.25% and (B) the difference between (i) All-in Yield of such Other Term Loans and (ii) the All-in Yield of Initial Term B Loans;

(3) if the Other Term Loans are incurred by a Loan Party on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to third anniversary of the Closing Date, the All-in Yield of the Initial Term B Loans shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 0.75% and (B) the difference between (i) All-in Yield of such Other Term Loans and (ii) the All-in Yield of Initial Term B Loans; and

(4) if the Other Term Loans are incurred by a Loan Party on or after the third anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the All-in Yield of the Initial Term B Loans shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 0.25% and (B) the difference between (i) All-in Yield of such Other Term Loans and (ii) the All-in Yield of Initial Term B Loans: or

(y) if the proceeds of such Other Term Loans are used for any other purposes not prohibited hereunder, then either (I) the All-in Yield in respect of any such Other Term Loan may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of such Term B Loans on the Closing Date by no more than 0.50%; or (II) if the All-in Yield in respect of any such Other Term Loan does exceed the All-in Yield in respect of such Term B Loans on the Closing Date by more than 0.50% (such difference, the “Term Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Margin (or the “LIBOR floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to such Initial Term B Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Term Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%; provided that, to the extent any portion of the Term Yield Differential is attributable to a higher “LIBOR floor” being applicable to such Other Term Loans, such floor shall only be included in the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the Adjusted

113

Eurocurrency Rate in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “LIBOR floor” applicable to the outstanding Term B Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans prior to any increase in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Initial Term B Loans then outstanding,

provided, the requirements of the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) shall not apply to any customary bridge facility so long as the Indebtedness into which such customary bridge facility is to be converted complies with such requirements.

Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless on the date of such effectiveness, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom or, solely with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment the proceeds of which are intended to and shall be used to financing substantially contemporaneously a Limited Condition Transaction, the Persons providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment may agree to a “certain funds” provision that does not impose as a condition to funding thereof that no Event of Default exists at the time such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated, in which event, the condition shall be that no Event of Default exists on the date on which the related acquisition agreement is executed and becomes effective.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis and (ii) all Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, (x) when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis and (y) provide for necessary or appropriate mechanical changes to the Loan Documents to accommodate such Revolving Loans, including with respect to timing for requests for Borrowings of Revolving Loans or repayments thereof or minimum amounts of Revolving Loans. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

114

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Sections 2.11(a) or 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (e) through (i) of this Section 2.21), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments, on a pro rata basis (based, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, on the aggregate outstanding Term Loans of such Class and, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility, as applicable) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, that all of the Term Loans of such Class and, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, that all of the Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of such Revolving Facility are, in each case, offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Incremental Term Loan for such Lender (if such Lender is extending an existing Term Loan (such extended Term Loan, an “Extended Term Loan”)) or an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment for such Lender (if such Lender is extending an existing Revolving Facility Commitment (such extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Facility Commitment” and the loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”)).

(f) The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, amortization, final maturity date and participation in prepayments and commitment reductions (which shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as the existing Class of Term Loans, (y) terms consistent with current market terms (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and as set forth in a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower, or (z) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Term Facility Maturity Date in effect on the date of incurrence, (iii) 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 Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, participation in mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments or (y) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (v) any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility

115

Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent and furnished to the other parties hereto. If provided in any Incremental Assumption Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments, and with the consent of each Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in the manner specified in such Incremental Assumption Agreement, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.

(g) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Facility Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) if such Extending Lender is extending a Term Loan, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Term Loan having the terms of such Extended Term Loan and (ii) if such Extending Lender is extending a Revolving Facility Commitment, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment), (iv) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment implemented thereby, and (v) all Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

116

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Sections 2.11(a) or 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clause (j) through (o) of this Section 2.21), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), the net cash proceeds of which are used to Refinance in whole or in part any Class of Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that: (i) before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans (except that no Default or Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of the refinanced Term Loans, and (iii) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates or any other pricing terms and optional prepayment or mandatory prepayment or redemption terms and final maturity which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) taken as a whole shall be consistent with current market terms (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and as set forth in a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect on the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans), as determined by the Borrower in good faith.

(k) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be a permitted Assignee pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans made to the Borrower.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Sections 2.11(a) and 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (l) through (o) of this Section 2.21), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional Facilities providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replaces in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments under this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that: (i)

117

before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans (except that no Default or Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the aggregate amount of any other Revolving Facility Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, (iii) no Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall have a final maturity date prior to the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence, (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit and swingline commitment under such Replacement Revolving Facility which shall be as agreed between the Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the Replacement L/C Issuer and Replacement Swingline Lender, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments) taken as a whole shall be consistent with current market terms (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and as set forth in a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest final maturity of the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect on the date of incurrence of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments) as determined by the Borrower in good faith. In addition, the Borrower may establish Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments to refinance and/or replace all or any portion of a Term Loan hereunder (regardless of whether such Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of Replacement Revolving Loans or otherwise), so long as the aggregate amount of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of Term Loans repaid at the time of establishment thereof (it being understood that such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment may be provided by the Lenders holding the Term Loans being repaid and/or by any other Person that would be a permitted Assignee hereunder).

(m) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be a permitted Assignee of a Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to Section 9.04 (such Person, a “Replacement Revolving Lender”) to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment. Any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment made on any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.

118

(n) On any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each of the Lenders with Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class shall purchase from each of the other Lenders with Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof and in the applicable currencies, such interests in the Replacement Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class then outstanding on such Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Replacement Revolving Loans and participations of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class will be held by the Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their Replacement Revolving Credit Percentages.

(o) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Term Loan having the terms of such Refinancing Term Loan and (ii) if a Lender is providing a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment, such Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) there shall be no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clauses (j) or (l) above, as applicable, and (iv) all Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(p) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) for the purpose of determining the number of outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowings upon the incurrence of any Incremental Loans, (x) to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Eurocurrency Borrowings under the Term Facilities fall on the same day, such Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be considered a single Eurocurrency Borrowing and (y) to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Eurocurrency Borrowings under the Revolving Facilities fall on the same day, such Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be considered a single Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) the initial Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing of Incremental Loans may, at the Borrower’s option, be of a duration of a number of Business Days that is less than one month, and the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate with respect to such initial Interest Period shall be the same as the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate applicable to any then-outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing as the Borrower may direct, so long as the last day of such initial Interest Period is the same as the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender under any Revolving Facility becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority, during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender under any such Revolving Facility to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, the “Revolving Facility Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender under such Revolving Facility shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Facility Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under such Revolving Facility in connection with such reallocation shall not exceed the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender.

(ii) 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 definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Majority Lenders.”

(iii) Cash Collateral. To the extent the reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above is insufficient for any reason to cover the L/C Issuer’s and Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such uncovered Fronting Exposure pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(iv) Limitation on Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall have any obligation to make Swingline Loans and no L/C Issuer shall have any obligation to issue, amend or renew any Letter of Credit at any time there is Fronting Exposure, in each case, unless the Swingline Lender or the L/C Issuer, respectively, is reasonably satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(v) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender on account of its Loans or participations under the Revolving Facility Commitments (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06, 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event

120

of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that 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 non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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 2.22(v) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(vi) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral.

(B) With respect to any Commitment Fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (vi)(A) or (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 Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (vii) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(vii) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s

121

Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility 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.

(viii) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 Revolving Facility Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages under such Revolving Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.22(i)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 7.02 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrowers fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.02, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, if any, until the expiration of the 20th day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating such Financial Performance Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c) (the “Cure Deadline”), the Borrower shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right such Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement (including for purposes of calculating any basket or threshold under any covenant), by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; provided, that, (i) in each four fiscal quarter period there shall be at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five (5) times prior to the Termination Date and (iii) for purposes of this Section 7.02, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant. If, after giving effect to the exercise of the Cure Right and receipt by the Borrower of the Cure Amount, the Borrower is in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower of written notice that it intends to exercise the Cure Right under this Section 7.02, any Event of Default under Section 7.01(d) in respect of a failure to observe or perform the Financial Performance Covenant shall retroactively be deemed not to have occurred; provided that the Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow Revolving Loans or make any application for an L/C Credit Extension unless and until (x) the Cure Amount shall have been received by the Borrower prior to the Cure Deadline or (y) such Event of Default shall have been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that, upon the earlier to occur of the Cure Deadline if the Borrower has not received the necessary Cure Amount at such time and the date on which the Administrative Agent is notified that the necessary Cure Amount will not be received by the Borrower (in each case, a “Cure Failure”), unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated retroactive to the date on which the Event of Default first existed. So long as the Borrower is entitled to exercise the Cure Right pursuant to the foregoing terms and provisions of this Section 7.02, and unless and until a Cure Failure occurs, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall impose default interest, accelerate the Obligations, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment or exercise any enforcement remedy against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties solely on the basis of such financial covenant Event of Default. Upon

184

delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower of written notice that it intends to exercise its rights under this Section 7.02, any Default or Event of Default, as the cased may be, under Section 7.01(d) solely in respect of a failure to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 6.10 shall retroactively be deemed not to have occurred.

(c) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Swap Agreements), each L/C Issuer (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Swap Agreements), the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Wilmington Trust, National Association to act as security trustee (the “Security Trustee”) on its behalf with regard to (i) the security, powers, rights, titles, benefits and interests (both present and future) to be constituted by and conferred on the Security Trustee under or pursuant to the Ship Mortgages and the Insurance Assignments to be granted by certain Subsidiary Loan Parties in favor of the Security Trustee covering the whole of the Mortgaged Vessels and the insurances related thereto (including, without limitation, the benefit of all covenants, undertakings, representations, warranties and obligations given, made or undertaken by the relevant Subsidiary Loan Parties in the Ship Mortgages and the Insurance Assignments), (ii) all monies, property and other assets paid or transferred thereto or vested therein or in any agent thereof or received or recovered thereby or by any agent thereof pursuant to, or in connection with, the Ship Mortgages and the Insurance Assignments covering the Mortgaged Vessels, whether from the relevant Subsidiary Loan Parties or any other Person, and (iii) all monies, investments, property or other assets at any time representing or deriving from any of the foregoing, including all interest, income and other sums at any time received or receivable thereby or by any agent thereof in respect of the same (or any part thereof). The Security Trustee does hereby declare that it will hold the Ship Mortgages and the Insurance Assignments covering the Mortgaged Vessels and the insurances related thereto as trustee in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, from and after the execution thereof, and the Security Trustee hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to hold, receive, administer and enforce the Ship Mortgages and the Insurance Assignments covering the Mortgaged Vessels and the insurances related thereto, which Ship Mortgages and Insurance Assignments shall constitute the corpus of the trust, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, but the Security Trustee shall have no obligations hereunder or under the Ship Mortgages and Insurance Assignments covering the Mortgaged Vessels and the insurances related thereto except those obligations of the Security Trustee expressly set forth herein and therein. The Security Trustee shall benefit from and be subject to all provisions in this Agreement that are otherwise applicable to the Collateral Agent, mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties. The substitution of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8 also constitute the substitution of the Security Trustee.

Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each 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. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the Security Trustee, 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 for its or such Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,

186

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 such Agent 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 to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it in good faith 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 the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Security Trustee. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder 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. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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 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 Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent 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, with respect to a matter relating solely to one Facility, the request of the Majority Lenders under such Facility) (including as a result of exercising Permitted Business Judgment in the manner described in the proviso to such definition), 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.

Section 8.05 Notice of Default and Lender Direction. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral 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, it shall give written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to a Default or Event of Default or any other matter (whether or not related to a Default or Event of Default, but not otherwise in contravention of this Article VIII), in each case, as shall be directed in writing by the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any Default or Event of Default, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such written directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to

187

such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable, except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge the right of Required Lenders to direct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as set forth in this Section 8.05.

Section 8.06 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the Security Trustee, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any L/C Issuer. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each L/C Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral 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 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 the Administrative Agent, Collateral 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. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 8.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Security Trustee, each 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 their respective portions of the total Term Loans and Revolving Facility Commitments (or, if the Revolving Facility Commitments shall have terminated, in accordance the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect immediately prior to such termination) held on the date on which indemnification is sought, 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 (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or the Security Trustee 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 the Administrative

188

Agent or the Collateral Agent or the Security Trustee 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 resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s or the Security Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 8.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.08 Agents in their Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Security Trustee and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Persons were not the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and the Security Trustee hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Security Trustee shall each 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or the Security Trustee, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Security Trustee in their individual capacities.

Section 8.09 Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and the Security Trustee may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the reasonable consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(h) or (i) is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above with the consent of the Borrower; provided that if the retiring Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except in the case of the Collateral Agent or the Security Trustee holding collateral security on behalf of any Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent or Security Trustee is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. In addition, (x) the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, may remove the then-current Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and/or the Security Trustee at any time so long as the Required Lenders appoint, with the consent of the Borrower unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent or successor Security Trustee, as applicable, substantially concurrently with such removal (y) if a Revolving Facility is added pursuant to any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment in accordance with Section 2.21, the Borrower may

189

remove the then-current Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and/or the Security Trustee, and the agent under the new Revolving Facility shall become the successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent or successor Security Trustee, as applicable, substantially concurrently with such removal. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

Section 8.10 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Article II or Section 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

190

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Article II and Section 9.05.

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

Section 8.12 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.08, or pursuant to Section 9.18. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property in accordance with this Section.

Section 8.13 [Reserved].

Section 8.14 First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Collateral Matters. The Lenders hereby agree to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and acknowledge that Wilmington Trust, National Association (and any successor Collateral Agent under the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will be serving as Collateral Agent for both the Secured Parties and the other First Lien Secured Parties under the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby consents to Wilmington Trust, National Association and any successor serving in such capacity and agrees not to assert any claim (including as a result of any conflict of interest) against Wilmington Trust, National Association, or any such successor, arising from the role of the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement so long as the Collateral Agent is either acting in accordance with the express terms of such documents or otherwise has not engaged in gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Borrower and each Lender hereby agrees that the resignation provisions set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the Collateral Agent shall supersede any provision of this Agreement to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be authorized from time to time, without the consent of any Lender, to execute or to enter into amendments of, and amendments and restatements of, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien

191

Intercreditor Agreement and/or any additional and replacement intercreditor agreements, in each case in order to effect the pari passu treatment or the subordination of and to provide for certain additional rights, obligations and limitations in respect of, any Liens required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be Liens pari passu with or junior to the Obligations, that are, in each case, incurred in accordance with Article VI of this Agreement, and to establish certain relative rights as between the holders of the Obligations and the holders of the Indebtedness secured by such Liens.

Section 8.15 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall make payable in respect thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender. 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.15. The agreements in this Section 8.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 8.15, include any L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless Lenders for any amounts treated as Excluded Taxes due to the failure of the Administrative Agent to comply with Section 2.17(l), except to the extent that such failure was due to a failure of the Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 2.17.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent promptly shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (b)(v).

(c) (1) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than a Disqualified Institution (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

196

Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections) and to the extent such Participant complies with Section 2.17(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender (to the extent such Lender from whom the participation was sold to the Participant was so entitled) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender (to the extent such Lender from whom the participation was sold to the Participant was so entitled), provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(i) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes or such disclosure is otherwise required by applicable law.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 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 (not to be unreasonably withheld), which consent shall state that it is being given pursuant to this Section 9.04(c)(iii); provided that each potential Participant shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the Borrower in order for the Borrower to determine whether to provide their consent.

197

(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 in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

(f) Notwithstanding 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. 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 and each Loan Party 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.

(g) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.08(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.05(b). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (g) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

198

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no assignment or participation may be made or participations sold to (w) any Disqualified Institution, (x) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (h) or (y) a natural person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments and grant participations shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Authority, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.08, 2.11(a) or 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (i) or (j) of this Section 9.04), the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may purchase by way of assignment and become an Assignee with respect to Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans (other than any such Loans held by an Affiliate Lender) at any time and from time to time from Lenders in accordance with Section 9.04(b) hereof or reduce the aggregate amount of any Revolving Facility Commitment of a Lender that has agreed to such reduction (“Permitted Loan Purchases”); provided that (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Permitted Loan Purchase, (B) upon consummation of any such Permitted Loan Purchase, the Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitments purchased or terminated pursuant thereto shall be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and extinguished in accordance with Section 9.04(j), (C) to the extent the Borrower or Subsidiary is making a Permitted Loan Purchase of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments, upon giving effect to such Permitted Loan Purchase, there shall be sufficient aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments among the Revolving Facility Lenders to apply to the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans thereunder as of such date, unless the Borrower shall concurrently with the payment of the purchase price by the Borrower or Subsidiary for such Revolving Facility Loans or the termination of such Revolving Facility Commitments, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(g) in the amount of any such excess Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans thereunder, (D) Term Loans may not be repurchased with direct proceeds of Revolving Facility Loans, (E) all parties to the relevant assignment shall render customary “big-boy” disclaimer letters, and (F) in connection with any such Permitted Loan Purchase (other than a termination of Revolving Facility Commitments), the Borrower or Subsidiary and such Lender that is the Assignor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Acceptance (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) and shall otherwise comply with the conditions to Assignments under this Section 9.04.

(j) Each Permitted Loan Purchase shall, for purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.08(b)) be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans (with a corresponding permanent reduction in Revolving Facility Commitments) and, in the case of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments, termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments, if applicable, and the Borrower shall, upon consummation of any Permitted Loan Purchase, notify the Administrative Agent that the Register be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of such Loans (and in the case of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving Facility Commitment, a permanent reduction in Revolving Facility Commitments).

199

Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Loan Parties agree to pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Stroock & Stroock & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents and the Lenders (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Stroock & Stroock & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Agents, and, if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction and, in the event of any conflict of interest, such additional counsel for each of the Lenders retained with the consent of the Borrower to the extent of such conflict of interests).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Agents , each L/C Issuer, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per material jurisdiction) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of or otherwise relating to the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit, or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (for purposes this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee), (2) any material breach of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (other than by Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and/or Security Trustee), or (3) any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent in its capacity as such). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and

200

related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any claim or liability related in any way to Environmental Laws of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any Real Property; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (1) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (2) any material breach of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee (other than by Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and/or Security Trustee), or (3) any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent in its capacity as such). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other Person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within fifteen (15) days of written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except Taxes that represent damages or losses resulting from a non-Tax claim.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

201

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each L/C Issuer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than any Excluded Accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such L/C Issuer to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any 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 2.22 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 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. The rights of each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such L/C Issuer may have.

Section 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.21, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to one or more agreements in writing entered into by the

202

Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders), and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to one or more agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Obligation, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date (except as provided in Section 2.05(b)), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of each such Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i); provided, further, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute a decrease, forgiveness or extension of the Commitments of any Lender),

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of each such Lender shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(iii) extend or waive any Term Loan Installment Date or reduce the amount due on any Term Loan Installment Date or extend any scheduled date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Obligation or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of each such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(iv) amend the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement, or any analogous provision of any other Security Document or any other Loan Document (including this Agreement, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of each such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof reducing the percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

203

(vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement except as provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of each Lender; and

(vii) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision of Sections 6.12, 7.01 (solely as it relates to Section 6.12) or the definition of “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio” (or any of its component definitions (as used in such Section 6.12 but not as used in other Sections (or for any other purposes) of this Agreement)) without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders;

provided, further, that no such amendment shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such L/C Issuer acting as such at the effective date of such amendment, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any successor or assignee of such Lender.

(c) Without the consent of any Lender or L/C Issuer, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, in each case to the extent such additional credit facility and Indebtedness is permitted hereunder, and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary (A) to integrate any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in a manner

204

consistent with Section 2.21, including, with respect to Revolving Loans or Other Term Loans, as may be necessary to establish such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Facility Loans, as a separate Class or tranche from the existing Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable or (B) to cure any ambiguity, omission, error, defect or inconsistency.

(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be necessary to ensure that all Term Loans established pursuant to Section 2.21 after the Closing Date that will be included in an existing Class of Term Loans outstanding on such date (an “Applicable Date”), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class (the “Existing Class Loans”), on a pro rata basis, and/or to ensure that, immediately after giving effect to such new Term Loans (the “New Class Loans” and, together with the Existing Class Loans, the “Class Loans”), each Lender holding Class Loans will be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Class Loan on the Applicable Date (but without changing the amount of any such Lender’s Term Loans), and each such Lender shall be deemed to have effectuated such assignments as shall be required to ensure the foregoing. The “Pro Rata Share” of any Lender on the Applicable Date is the ratio of (1) the sum of such Lender’s Existing Class Loans immediately prior to the Applicable Date plus the amount of New Class Loans made by such Lender on the Applicable Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Class Loans on the Applicable Date.

(g) With respect to the incurrence of any secured or unsecured Indebtedness (including any intercreditor agreement relating thereto), the Borrower may elect (in its discretion, but shall not be obligated) to deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer at least three Business Days prior to the incurrence thereof (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree), together with either drafts of the material documentation relating to such Indebtedness or a description of such Indebtedness (including a description of the Liens intended to secure the same or the subordination provisions thereof, as applicable) in reasonably sufficient detail to be able to make the determinations referred to in this paragraph, which certificate shall either, at the Borrower’s election, (x) state that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such Indebtedness satisfies the requirements of the applicable provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (taking into account any other applicable provisions of this Section 9.08), in which case such certificate shall be conclusive evidence thereof or (y) request the Administrative Agent to confirm, based on the information set forth in such certificate and any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, that such Indebtedness satisfies such requirements, in which case the Administrative Agent may determine whether, in its reasonable judgment, such requirements have been satisfied (in which case it shall deliver to the Borrower a written confirmation of the same), with any such determination of the Administrative Agent to be conclusive evidence thereof, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to make such determinations.

Section 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any L/C Issuer, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by

205

such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such L/C Issuer on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

Section 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Loan Parties agrees that (a) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction) and (b) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each L/C Issuer and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Borrower and any Subsidiary furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than information that (a) has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Section 9.16 or other confidentiality obligations owed to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or other confidentiality obligations owed to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (c) was or becomes available to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Agent from a third party which, to such Person’s knowledge, had not breached an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than to its Affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential and such Lender shall be responsible for the compliance of such Person with this Section 9.16), except: (A) to the

207

extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or self-regulatory authorities, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (C) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (D) to any pledgee under Section 9.04(d) or any other prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (and so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 or terms substantially similar to this Section), and (E) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements. or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16 or terms substantially similar to this Section).

Section 9.17 Platform; Borrower Materials. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on 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”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that such Borrower Materials shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16, to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute information subject to the terms thereof), (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Document shall, automatically and without requiring any action by the Borrower or any other Person, be deemed to be “PUBLIC” and may be provided to Public Lenders in the same manner as documents marked “PUBLIC”, whether or not such Loan Document is marked or bears the word “PUBLIC” as described in this Section 9.17.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS, ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR

208

A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS, ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or any Communications through the Internet and/or the Platform, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Section 9.18 Release of Liens, Guarantees and Pledges.

(a) The Lenders, the L/C Issuer and other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent and the Security Trustee by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released: (i) in full upon the occurrence of the Termination Date as set forth in Section 9.18(d) below; (ii) upon the disposition of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to a Loan Party by a Person that is not a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or clause (b) below (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), and (vi) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

209

(b) In addition, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall be automatically released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry).

(c) The Lenders, the L/C Issuer and other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Subsidiary Loan Party or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Upon release pursuant to this Section 9.18, any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, on the Termination Date, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Swap Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (ii) any contingent indemnification obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due. Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and their respective representatives) in connection with taking such actions to release security interest in all Collateral and all obligations under the Loan Documents as contemplated by this Section 9.18(d).

(e) Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Swap Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Swap Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No Person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Swap Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements.

210

Section 9.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 9.20 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.21 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Agents or any Lender has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with

211

respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Agent or any Lender has advised or is currently advising the any Loan Party or their respective Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Agents or any Lender has any obligation to any of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Agents the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Agents or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship, and (v) the Agents and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby(including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

Section 9.22 Application of Gaming Laws.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Lenders, Agents and Secured Parties acknowledge that (i) they are subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities and Liquor Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing, qualification or findings of suitability or to file or provide other information and (ii) (x) the consummation of the Transactions and (y) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to the Collateral (including the pledge and delivery of the Pledged Collateral), the Mortgaged Properties and the ownership and operation of facilities are, in each case, subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities and Liquor Authorities, and may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the relevant Gaming Authorities and Liquor Authorities.

(b) Lenders, Agents and Secured Parties agree to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities and Liquor Authorities in connection with the provision in a timely manner of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities and Liquor Authorities relating to the Loan or Loan Documents.

(c) Lenders acknowledge and agree that if any Loan Party receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that any Lender is a disqualified holder (and such Lender is notified by the Borrower in writing of such disqualification), the Borrower shall, following any available appeal of such determination by such Gaming Authority (unless the rules of the applicable Gaming Authority do not permit such Lender to retain its Loans or Commitments pending appeal of such determination), have the right to (i) cause such disqualified holder to transfer and assign, without recourse all of its interests, rights and obligations in its Loans and Commitments or (ii) in the event that (A) the Borrower is unable to assign such Loan after using its best efforts to cause such an assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred

212

and is continuing, prepay such disqualified holder’s Loan. Notice to such disqualified holder shall be given ten days prior to the required date of assignment or prepayment, as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or prepayment is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. If reasonably requested by any disqualified holder, the Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any such holder that is seeking to appeal such determination and to afford such holder an opportunity to participate in any proceedings relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any prepayment of a Loan shall be at a price that, unless otherwise directed by a Gaming Authority, shall be equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Loan and interest to the date such Lender or holder became a disqualified holder (plus any fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such disqualified holder to the date such Lender or holder became a disqualified holder).

(d) If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents it shall become necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Lenders to become licensed or found qualified under any Gaming Law as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Agents, Secured Parties and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby agrees to consent to the application for such license or qualification and to execute such further documents as may be required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.

Section 9.23 Vessels and Admiralty Related Matters.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, the Mortgages, the Ship Mortgages or any other Loan Document, the Agents, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties acknowledge the uncertain nature in which a security interest may be taken in any Vessel or any improvements to Real Property or related assets which are used in connection with any dockside, riverboat, or water-based venue that are intended to be Collateral hereunder (collectively, “Vessel Related Collateral”) and in the enforceability of any security interest in Vessel Related Collateral under the Ship Mortgage Act, the real property laws of any applicable jurisdiction, the Uniform Commercial Code, any and all applicable case law and any other applicable laws (the “Vessel Applicable Laws”). In order to grant the Collateral Agent a Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties in all Vessel Related Collateral to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties have agreed to grant Liens and security interests in the Vessel Related Collateral to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under various types of Security Documents, including the Mortgages, the Collateral Agreement and the Ship Mortgages, notwithstanding such uncertainty. Accordingly, the Agents, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any representations, warranties, covenants, further assurances, events of default or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, the Mortgages, the Ship Mortgages or any other Loan Document, any Loan Document that is unenforceable with respect to any Vessel Related Collateral, any element of the Collateral Requirement relating to the creation or perfection of a Lien or security interest that is not satisfied with respect to Vessel Related Collateral, or any failure of any Vessel Related Collateral to be secured by a Lien or security interest under any Loan Document, in each case solely as a result of Vessel Applicable Laws relating to the nature or circumstances in which a security interest may be taken in any

213

Vessel Related Collateral and the enforceability thereof (or the failure of the Borrower or any Loan Party to take any action that is not possible under such Vessel Applicable Laws) shall not result in a breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants or further assurances or result in any Event of Default.

Section 9.24 Affiliate Lenders.

(a) Each Lender who is an Affiliate of the Borrower (an “Affiliate Lender”), in connection with any (i) consent (or decision not to consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document, (ii) other action on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) direction to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, agrees that, except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (1) described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of the first proviso of Section 9.08(b) or (2) that adversely affects such Affiliate Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to other Lenders, such Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders. Each Affiliate Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliate Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliate Lender and in the name of such Affiliate 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 (a).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliate Lender shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives, or (iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

Section 9.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

214

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
