ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 2.01 The Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving credit loans in Dollars (each a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to any Borrower during the term of this Agreement in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i) such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to (A) the Line Cap, less (B) the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.01 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they otherwise become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Borrowings Generally.

(i) Each Borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable (subject to Section 3.03) written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or in a writing in any other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (i) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Eurodollar Rate Loan and (ii) on the date which is one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date of each Base Rate Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

(A) the amount of the Borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $100,000);

(B) the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day;

Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing.

Unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed in writing by the Parent Borrower, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such amount to the Borrowers pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(ii) Making of Swing Loans. So long as the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus all payments or other amounts applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of any requested Swing Loan does not exceed $60,000,000, the Swing Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan (any such Revolving Credit Loan made by the Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(ii) being referred to as a “Swing Loan”) available to any Borrower on the funding date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds in the amount of such Borrowing to the Designated Account or such other Deposit Account or Securities Account of the applicable Borrower identified by the Parent Borrower. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Article IV) applicable to other Revolving Credit Loans, except that all payments (including interest) on any Swing Loan shall be payable to the Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(f), the Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if the Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (A) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV will not be satisfied on the requested date of such Borrowing, or (B) after giving

effect to the requested Borrowing, the Revolver Usage would exceed the Excess Availability on such date. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Swing Lender shall not be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have been satisfied on the applicable funding date prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(A) Swing Loan Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a Swing Loan, the Parent Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be made in a writing or in an Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) or in a writing in any other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent duly completed (a “Swingline Request”). In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swing Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, make a Swing Loan to the Borrowers in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swing Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrowers by making the proceeds thereof available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available to the Borrowers on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request or Notice of Borrowing.

(B) Refinancing Swing Loans. The Swing Lender may at any time (and shall no less frequently than once each week) forward a demand to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Lender) that each Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Loans (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.17(a)). Each Lender shall pay the amount owing by it to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Lender on the Business Day following receipt of the notice or demand therefor. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrowers, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swing Lender from the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under 8.01(f) or 8.01(g), each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan. If any payment made by any Revolving Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Credit Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such

participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swing Lender of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swing Lender shall promptly pay over to such Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) on account of such Swing Loan received by the Swing Lender with respect to such portion.

(b) In the event of a Notice of Borrowing for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan (unless in the case of a Base Rate Loan the Swing Lender has determined to make a Swing Loan in lieu of such Base Rate Loan), then following receipt of such a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(c). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account not later than (x) 10:00 a.m., in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (y) 11:00 a.m., in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the Initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds to the Designated Account or to such other Deposit Account or Securities Account of the applicable Borrower identified by the Parent Borrower.

(i) The Borrowers shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Loan be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than Swing Loans) from Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iii) convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Section 3.05 if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any such election must be made by the Parent Borrower by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Loan which is to bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrowers wish to convert any Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Parent Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period. The Parent Borrower must make such election by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(c) or in a writing in any other form acceptable to

the Administrative Agent. No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, if (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result thereof or (y) the Administrative Agent is or Required Lenders are stayed by the Bankruptcy Code from making such determination.

(ii) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, the Administrative Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of the Eurodollar Rate; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve any Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against the Administrative Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Capital One’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in effect unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees.

(f) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding (but subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv)), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time to make Revolving Credit Loans to, or for the benefit of, any Borrower on behalf of the Lenders, in each case that the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (the Revolving Credit Loans described in this Section 2.02(f)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders delivering written notice of such revocation to the Administrative Agent. Any such revocation shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and either the Administrative Agent or the Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, intentionally continue to make Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans) to any Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv). In the event the Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by this Section 2.02(f), regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless the Administrative Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case the Administrative Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders with Commitments thereupon shall, together with the Administrative Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with the Borrowers intended to eliminate such Overadvances within a reasonable time. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. In any event any Overadvance pursuant to this Section 2.02(f)(ii) remains outstanding for more than 60 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall promptly repay Revolving Credit Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such Overadvances. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and are not meant for the benefit of the Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.05(b). The Administrative Agent’s and the Swing Lender’s authorization to make intentional Overadvances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders delivering written notice of such revocation to the Administrative Agent. Any such revocation shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. Extraordinary Advances may not be converted or continued.

(iii) Each Extraordinary Advance shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, except that no Extraordinary Advance shall be eligible to be a Eurodollar Rate Loan. Prior to Settlement of any Extraordinary Advance, all payments with respect thereto, including interest thereon, shall be payable to the Administrative Agent solely for its own account. Each Lender shall be obligated to settle with the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.02(g) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Extraordinary Advance. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (A) the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances and Overadvances (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) outstanding at any one time shall not exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base and (B) no Extraordinary Advance may be made by the Administrative Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause (1) the aggregate

Revolver Usage to exceed the Aggregate Commitments or (2) any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolver Usage to exceed such Lender’s Commitments.

(g) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Credit Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (A) on behalf of the Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (B) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Extraordinary Advances and (C) with respect to any Loan Party’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, in each case by notifying the Lenders by facsimile, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.17): (A) if the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to the account as such Lender may designate, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances), and (B) if the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to the Administrative Agent under clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement and subject to Section 8.03, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest and fees payable by the Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) To the extent Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent may pay over to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Lender, as applicable, any payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, for application to such Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent no Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to the Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Credit Loans, for application to the Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries received since the immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, the Swing Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders (subject to clause (iv) below), to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans. Solely as among the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender and the other Lenders, during the period between Settlement Dates, the Swing Lender with respect to the outstanding daily amount of principal of Swing Loans, the Administrative Agent with respect to the outstanding daily amount of principal of Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the outstanding daily amount of principal of Revolving Credit Loans other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the period between Settlement Dates, none of the Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, the Administrative Agent with respect to Extraordinary Advances, or any Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest from any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries on the amount of principal repaid after the date of repayment of such principal.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.02(g) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.17.

Section 2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of the Parent Borrower made in accordance herewith, and prior to the Maturity Date, each L/C Issuer agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower or any other Borrower. By submitting a request to an L/C Issuer for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the applicable L/C Issuer issue such Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be (i) irrevocable and made in writing by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower in the form of Exhibit 2.03 or in any other written form acceptable to such L/C Issuer, (ii) delivered to the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer via facsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer and no later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day (or such shorter period that may be agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower) prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, and (iii) subject to the applicable L/C Issuer’s authentication procedures with results reasonably satisfactory to L/C Issuer. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer and (i) shall specify (A) the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, which shall be in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit and (E) such other information (including the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that such L/C Issuer generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, an L/C Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of a Loan Party or one of its Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property to the extent that the face amount of such Letter of Credit exceeds the highest rent (including all rent-like charges) payable under such lease for a period of one year, or (y) an employment contract to the extent that the face amount of such Letter of Credit exceeds the highest compensation payable under such contract for a period of one year, in each case to the extent that such L/C Issuer maintains such a policy with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(b) No L/C Issuer shall have any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit;

(ii) the Letter of Credit Usage attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer would exceed the Individual Letter of Credit Sublimit for such L/C Issuer (unless otherwise agreed by such L/C Issuer); or

(iii) the Revolver Usage would exceed the Line Cap at such time.

(c) In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent (i) the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit cannot be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17 or (ii) such L/C Issuer has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Parent Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, which arrangements may include the Parent Borrower Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 2.17. Additionally, no L/C Issuer shall have any obligation to issue or extend a Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from the issuance or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (B) the issuance or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally or (C) if amounts demanded to be paid under any Letter of Credit will not or may not be in Dollars or an Alternative Currency.

(d) Each L/C Issuer (other than the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) to the extent it is an L/C Issuer) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing no later than the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such L/C Issuer issues any Letter of Credit. In addition, each L/C Issuer (other than the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) to the extent it is an L/C Issuer) shall, on the first Business Day of each week, submit to the Administrative Agent a report in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent detailing the daily undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and related Letter of Credit Usage during the prior calendar week. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Lender through the Administrative Agent), the applicable L/C Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. The Parent Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by an L/C Issuer at the request of the Parent Borrower on the Closing Date (or on such later date, as applicable). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. If any L/C Issuer makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and any applicable Borrower) and the Administrative Agent thereof immediately. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, after any payment (or failure to pay when due) by any Borrower of any related drawn amounts under Letters of Credit, notice thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in the Dollar equivalent of such Alternative Currency (as converted at the Spot Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent, which calculation shall be deemed correct absent manifest error), unless such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in the applicable Alternative Currency. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the same Business Day as such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made

and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder (notwithstanding (x) any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 and (y) any requirement that a Revolving Credit Loan be made in a minimum amount or a multiple in excess thereof set forth in Section 2.02(a)(i)) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans. If such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made in an Alternative Currency, the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement shall be converted into Dollars at the Spot Rate (as determined by the Administrative Agent, which calculation shall be deemed correct absent manifest error) on such date for purposes of determining the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to the applicable L/C Issuer shall be automatically converted into an obligation of the Borrowers to pay the resulting Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to this clause (d), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable L/C Issuer or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.03(e) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer, then to such Lenders and the L/C Issuers as their interests may appear.

(e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.03(d), each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Credit Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 2.03(d) on the same terms and conditions as if the Parent Borrower had requested the amount thereof as a Revolving Credit Loan and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable L/C Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of any L/C Issuer or the Lenders, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by such L/C Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit (in the case of a Letter of Credit Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency, in the equivalent in Dollars calculated at the Spot Rate (as determined by the Administrative Agent, which calculation shall be deemed correct absent manifest error)). In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by such L/C Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of an L/C Issuer, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article IV. If any such Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (for the account of L/C Issuer) shall be entitled to recover such

amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including each L/C Issuer and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including each L/C Issuer, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and related reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs of a single firm of counsel to the applicable L/C Issuer and one local counsel to the applicable L/C Issuer in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction, one specialty counsel in each reasonably necessary specialty area for all such Letter of Credit Related Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual conflict of interest where the Letter of Credit Related Person retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected Letter of Credit Related Person)), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Article III) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and that arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:

(i) any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance;

(ii) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement (or lack thereof) of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Letter of Credit;

(iii) any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(v) any unauthorized instruction or request made to the applicable L/C Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit, or any error, omission, interruption or delay in such instruction or request, whether transmitted by mail, courier, Electronic Transmission, SWIFT, or any other telecommunication including communications through a correspondent;

(vi) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;

(vii) any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;

(viii) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than Letter of Credit Related Persons;

(ix) any prohibition on payment or delay in payment of any amount payable by the applicable L/C Issuer to a beneficiary or transferee beneficiary of a Letter of Credit arising out of Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions;

(x) the applicable L/C Issuer’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation;

(xi) any foreign language translation provided to the applicable L/C Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit;

(xii) any foreign law or usage as it relates to the applicable L/C Issuer’s issuance of a Letter of Credit in support of a foreign guaranty including without limitation the expiration of such guaranty after the related Letter of Credit expiration date and any resulting drawing paid by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection therewith; or

(xiii) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Related Person;

provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.03(f) to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity not later than 10 Business Days after demand therefor. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.03(f) are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs payable in accordance with this Section 2.03(f) that is permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(g) The liability of each L/C Issuer (or any Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries that are caused directly by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit.

(h) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and any applicable Borrower) will examine a copy of the Letter of Credit and any other documents sent by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection therewith and shall promptly notify such L/C Issuer (not later than 3 Business Days following the Parent Borrower’s receipt of documents from such L/C Issuer) of any non-

compliance with the Parent Borrower’s instructions and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity. The Borrowers are responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by an L/C Issuer, irrespective of any assistance such L/C Issuer may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by such L/C Issuer’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Parent Borrower. The Borrowers understand that the final form of any Letter of Credit may be subject to such revisions and changes to the Letter of Credit language consistent with any applicable L/C Issuer’s customary practices for letter of credit issuance as are deemed necessary or appropriate by such L/C Issuer, and Borrowers hereby consent to such revisions and changes that are not materially different from the final text of the Letter of Credit approved by the Borrowers. The Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for the applicable Borrower’s purposes. If the Parent Borrower requests that any L/C Issuer issue a Letter of Credit for an Affiliate (including any Guarantor) or unaffiliated third party (each an “Account Party”), (i) such Account Party shall have no rights against the applicable L/C Issuer; (ii) the Parent Borrower shall be responsible for the application for such Letter of Credit and the Borrowers shall have the obligations of such Letter of Credit for such Account Party under this Agreement; and (iii) communications (including notices) related to the applicable Letter of Credit shall be between the applicable L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower (and not between the L/C Issuer and the Account Party). The Borrowers understand and agree that, unless otherwise agreed by the Parent Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer, no L/C Issuer shall be required to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit for any reason. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if the Parent Borrower does not at any time want the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, the Parent Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer at least 15 calendar days (or such shorter period agreed to by the applicable L/C Issuer) before the applicable L/C Issuer is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(i) Each Borrower’s reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.03 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances, including:

(i) any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any Letter of Credit, any Issuer Document, this Agreement or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein or herein;

(ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(iii) any L/C Issuer or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any L/C Issuer or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit;

(v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, any L/C Issuer or any other Person;

(vi) any L/C Issuer or any correspondent honoring a drawing upon receipt of an electronic presentation under a Letter of Credit requiring the same, regardless of whether the original Drawing Documents arrive at such L/C Issuer’s counters or are different from the electronic presentation;

(vii) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.03(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against any L/C Issuer, the beneficiary or any other Person; or

(viii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided that subject to Sections 2.03(f) and (g) above, the foregoing shall not release any L/C Issuer from such liability to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries as may be determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against such L/C Issuer following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of the applicable Borrower to such L/C Issuer arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.03 or any Letter of Credit.

(j) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer as non-refundable fees, commissions, and charges (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such fees, commissions, and charges to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.12 shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this Section 2.03(j)): (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, a fronting fee which shall be imposed by L/C Issuer equal to 0.125% per annum times the average amount of the Letter of Credit Usage attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer during the immediately preceding quarter, plus (ii) promptly upon demand, any and all other customary commissions, fees and charges then in effect imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, such L/C Issuer, or by any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person, relating to such Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any such Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any such Letter of Credit (including transfers, assignments of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations).

(k) Each Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the date that is 12 months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that any standby Letter of Credit

may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration; provided further that with respect to any Letter of Credit which extends beyond the Maturity Date, it shall be Cash Collateralized on or before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

(l) If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (ii) an Overadvance has occurred, then on the Business Day following the date when the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Exposure) demanding Cash Collateralization pursuant to this Section 2.03(1) upon such demand, the Borrowers shall provide Cash Collateral with respect to the then existing Letter of Credit Usage (in the case of the preceding clause (ii), in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Overadvance). If the Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral as required by this Section 2.03(1), the Lenders may (and, upon direction of the Administrative Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Credit Loans the amount of the cash collateral required pursuant to the Cash Collateralize provision so that the then existing Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized in accordance with the Cash Collateralize provision (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied).

(m) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(n) Each L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if such L/C Issuer’s conduct is in accordance with Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement.

(o) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.03 and any provision contained in any Issuer Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.03 shall control and govern.

(p) If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(e) or (k)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the

occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given tranche of Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such Maturity Date.

(q) The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Obligations being Paid in Full with respect to any Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(r) At the Borrowers’ cost and expense, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the applicable L/C Issuer such additional certificates, instruments or documents and take such additional actions as may be reasonably requested by such L/C Issuer to enable such L/C Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the related Issuer Document, to protect, exercise and/or enforce such L/C Issuer’s rights and interests under this Agreement or to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Issuer Document. At all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower irrevocably appoints each L/C Issuer as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes each such L/C Issuer, without notice to the Borrowers, to take any action and to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents. The power of attorney granted by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.03(r) is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business. This appointment is coupled with an interest.

(s) Any L/C Issuer may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other L/C Issuers and the Parent Borrower; provided that, unless such resignation is in connection with a permitted assignment of such L/C Issuer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or due to a regulatory issue, notice must be delivered no less than thirty (30) days in advance of such resignation and prior to the date of such resignation, the applicable L/C Issuer shall have identified another Lender reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent that has agreed to act as a replacement L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to such resigning L/C Issuer’s Individual Letter of Credit Sublimit, and in connection therewith such resigning L/C Issuer (i) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit and (ii) shall maintain all of its rights as L/C Issuer with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation so long as such Letters of Credit or L/C Obligations remain outstanding and not otherwise Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms herein.

(t) For each issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letters of Credit shall be issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 4.02 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

Section 2.04 Notes. Any Lender may request that any portion of its Commitments or the Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more Notes. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Notes payable to such Lender.

Thereafter, the portion of the Commitments and Loans evidenced by such Notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by such Notes.

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (A) 3 Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Extraordinary Advances or prepayments made by the Borrowers with respect to estimated interest, fees and/or expenses due or to be due hereunder) shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of the Revolving Credit Loans and otherwise be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice (other than a notice related solely to Extraordinary Advances prior to the Settlement thereof), and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower (or another Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked or modified by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, as applicable.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) If, at any time, the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds the Line Cap then in effect, then the Borrowers shall promptly, but in any event within 1 Business Day, prepay Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess.

(ii) If the Parent Borrower, or any other Loan Party, Disposes of any Collateral included in the determination of the Borrowing Base, other than pursuant to Sections 7.05(b), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) (or receives proceeds of any casualty insurance and condemnation awards with respect to such Collateral), the Parent Borrower shall prepay Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom within three Business Days after the date of receipt thereof by the Parent Borrower or such Loan Party; provided that in connection with any Disposition permitted by Section 7.05, neither the Parent Borrower nor such Loan Party shall be obligated to make a mandatory prepayment

pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) so long as (i) the Payment Conditions are satisfied (calculated after delivery by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Base Certificate calculating and certifying the Borrowing Base after giving pro forma effect to such Disposition), (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) the conditions to a Credit Extension set forth in Section 4.02(a) are then satisfied; provided, further that to the extent the Payment Conditions are not then satisfied, the amount of the prepayment required to be made under this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall equal an amount such that the Payment Conditions would be satisfied on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such prepayment and to the other pro forma adjustments to the Borrowing Base in connection with such Disposition.

(iii) During a Cash Dominion Period, the Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations as provided in Section 2.19.

(i) All prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (ii), so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, shall be applied, first, to prepay outstanding Extraordinary Advances, second, to prepay outstanding Swing Loans, third, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans, and fourth, to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Usage; provided that any prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (ii) and applied to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall be promptly released to the Borrower upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the Payment Conditions, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or is continuing; provided, further, that such cash collateral shall only be so released to the extent that, after giving pro forma effect to such release, the Payment Conditions would continue to be satisfied.

(ii) To the extent permitted by the foregoing, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. Together with each prepayment under this Section 2.05, the Borrowers shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof.

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the unused Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the unused Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. 3 Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Parent Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage plus (B) the principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans not yet made as to which a request has been given by the Parent Borrower under Section 2.02, plus (C) the amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 would exceed the Line Cap, and (iv) to the extent practicable,

each partial reduction in the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be allocated ratably among the L/C Issuers in accordance with their respective Individual Letter of Credit Sublimits. Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked or modified by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of termination or reduction) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory. If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of unused Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the unused Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Commitments are reduced. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of itself and the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) outstanding on such date.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account after the due date for such Obligations shall bear interest as follows, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, or (iii) otherwise, each other Obligation under the Loan Documents (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) shall bear interest on the outstanding amount thereof from the date such Obligation is due at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) At any time when a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the election of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) exists), the Borrowers shall pay interest on Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case of principal of any Revolving Credit Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the interest rate (at the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate, as the case may be) and Applicable Rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan, (B) in the case of Letter of Credit Fees, 2.00% per annum plus the applicable Letter of Credit Fee or (C) in the case of any other amount, 2.00%

per annum plus the interest rate (at the Base Rate) and Applicable Rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 2.08(a) at such time.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest shall also be paid on the Maturity Date. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. Interest on each Extraordinary Advance shall be due and payable on demand. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder, and all fronting fees and all commissions, other fees, charges and expenses provided for in Section 2.03(j) shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day). The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice to the Borrowers, to charge to the Loan Account to the extent not received by 1:00 p.m. on the applicable due date (A) on each Interest Payment Date, all interest accrued during such quarter on the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, (B) on the first Business Day of each quarter, all Letter of Credit Fees accrued or chargeable hereunder during the immediately preceding quarter, (C) on the day becoming due and payable, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.09(a)(i), (D) on the first calendar day of each quarter, the Unused Line Fee accrued during the prior quarter pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(ii), (E) on the day becoming due and payable, all other Lender Group Expenses payable pursuant to Section 10.04(a), and (F) on the day becoming due and payable all other fees and payment obligations payable under any Loan Document.

Section 2.09 Fees.

(a) In addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(j):

(i) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(ii) Unused Line Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, an unused line fee (each, an “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.175% per annum times (x) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments less (y) the Average Revolver Usage in respect of such Commitments during the preceding fiscal quarter, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17, which Unused Line Fee shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first calendar day of each quarter.

(iii) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (which fee shall be in addition to the fronting fees and commissions and other fees, charges and expenses set forth in Section 2.03(j)) that shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans times the average amount of the Letter of Credit Usage, which

Letter of Credit Fee shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each quarter.

(iv) Field Examination and Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent field examination, appraisal and valuation fees and charges, as and when incurred or chargeable, including (A) examiner fees and charges, plus reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including travel, meals and lodging), in each case for each field examination of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and (B) the actual fees and charges paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent plus reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses if the Administrative Agent elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrowers and such Arranger or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Loan Document, all computations of interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be, solely in the case of Base Rate Loans based on clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”) and calculated based on the number of actual days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness; Maintenance of Loan Account.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) on which the Borrowers will be charged with all Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances and Swing Loans) made by the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender or the Lenders to the Borrowers or for the Borrowers’ account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by any L/C Issuer for the Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents as and when due and payable, including accrued interest and fees, and, to the extent unpaid after the due date therefor, expenses (including Lender Group Expenses). In accordance with Section 2.12(a), the Loan Account will be credited with all payments with respect to the foregoing received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or for the Borrowers’ account. The Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrowers monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Loan Account and the accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the applicable Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts

and records maintained by any Lender and the Loan Account in respect of such matters, the Loan Account shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances. In the event of any conflict between the Loan Account and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the Loan Account shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Loan Account or the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register or Loan Account, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or Loan Account or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) All amounts (including interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document) charged to the Loan Account shall thereafter constitute Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Section 2.12 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by any Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, to the Administrative Agent’s Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c) Unless the applicable Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the applicable Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the applicable Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and the applicable Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights, which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the applicable Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative

Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Credit Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Revolving Credit Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Revolving Credit Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of such Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(h) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Revolving Credit Loans in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

(i) If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to any Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and the Administrative Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Revolving Credit Loans made by it, or the participations in Letter of Credit Usage, Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in Letter of Credit Usage, Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Revolving Credit Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.08) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation; provided further that, so long as the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Lenders. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

The provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (x) the application of cash collateral held in connection with Letter of Credit Exposure that has been Cash Collateralized or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Loans or subparticipations in Letter of Credit Usage, Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

Section 2.14 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and no Default would result therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Commitments on the same terms as the existing Commitments (each request for an increase in Commitments being a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”);

provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees) and (ii) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitment Increases effected from time to time after the Closing Date shall not exceed $150,000,000. Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase being requested, and (y) the date (an “Increase Effective Date”) on which such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is requested to become effective (which, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice). The Parent Borrower may request additional Commitments from existing Lenders or Additional Lenders and upon execution of a customary joinder agreement, such Additional Lenders shall become Lenders hereunder. Schedule 1.01(f) hereto shall be modified accordingly for all such new Commitments. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any new Commitments unless it so agrees and the Borrowers shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(b) The Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall determine the final allocation of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a)); provided that, to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified with “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and (B) no Default exists. In addition, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall deliver legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date.

(c) On each Increase Effective Date, (i) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increase Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”), (ii) each existing Lender increasing its Commitments shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each Additional Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the product of (A) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of the

Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Borrower’s Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Notice of Borrowing delivered by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.02 (and each Borrower shall deliver such Notice of Borrowing), (vi) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) and (vii) each Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings of such Borrower. The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05 if the date of the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. Upon each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.14, each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender and each existing Lender increasing its Commitments, and each such Additional Lender and each such existing Lender increasing its Commitments will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and participations in outstanding Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and acceptance of such participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letter of Credit Exposure and participations in outstanding Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances, in each case held by each Lender (including each such Additional Lender) will equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the Loans evidenced thereby, and any joinder agreement or amendment (each an “Incremental Joinder Agreement”) may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. From and after each Increase Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments. Each of the parties

hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, upon the effectiveness of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, (i) Revolving Loans made under such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis and (ii) the Lender providing each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shares ratably in the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 and Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.15 [Reserved].

Section 2.16 [Reserved].

Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders” and in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), 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 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts owing in respect of any Extraordinary Advance); second, to the Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by the Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender; third, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to an L/C Issuer hereunder; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fifth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Credit 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; sixth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or an L/C Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its

obligations under this Agreement; eighth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, or such Loans are Extraordinary Advances, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans of, and L/C Borrowings and participation obligations with respect to Extraordinary Advances owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans of, or L/C Borrowings or participations with respect to Extraordinary Advances 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 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Line Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.09(a)(iii).

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03, Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(ii) or Extraordinary Advances pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Pro Rata Share of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitments 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 exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (x) the Commitments of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (y) the aggregate Revolver Usage allocable to that Lender. If the reallocation described in this Section 2.17(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under Law, (A) first, prepay Extraordinary Advances in an amount equal to the Extraordinary Advance Fronting Exposure, (B) second, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (C) third, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure. Subject to Section 10.22, 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.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender and the L/C Issuers 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 that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), 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 Borrowers 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 2.18 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Parent Borrower to all Lenders with Commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the Commitments with the same Maturity Date), the Parent Borrower may from time to time extend the Maturity Date of any Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing or decreasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments, as so extended, as well as the original Commitments (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Commitments from the tranche of Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or caused thereby at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders and the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.18, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and (b), respectively; provided that, to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified with “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity, the Commitment of any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (x) subject, in the case of Letters of Credit, to the provisions of Section 2.03(p) to the extent dealing with Swing Loans and Letters of Credit that mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended

Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facility (and except as provided in Section 2.03(p), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit, Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) that have more than three different Maturity Dates (unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees), (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of Commitments, in respect of which the Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments offered to be extended by the Parent Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer and (iv) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension, any Lender that fails to consent to an Extension Offer shall be deemed to have declined such Extension Offer and the Revolving Credit Loans and Commitments of any non-participating Lenders shall mature (and the Commitments terminate) on the applicable Maturity Date.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) each Extension Offer shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Commitments of any or all applicable tranches to be extended (unless (x) otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion or (y) the Extension Offer is made to extend Commitments to the same Maturity Date as a prior Extension Offer). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.18 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.05 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.18; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of any particular Extension Offer by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers (and without the consent of any other Person) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Commitments so extended and such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders

with respect to the manner in which the amendments contemplated by this Section 2.18(c) are drafted and implemented and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrowers unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence, it being understood that this provision relates solely to the manner of implementation; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Parent Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.18.

Section 2.19 Cash Dominion. Upon the commencement and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period, all amounts in the Collection Accounts of each Loan Party (net of any customary minimum balance as may be required to be maintained in such Collection Account by the depositary bank or as otherwise agreed by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent) shall be remitted daily to the Administrative Agent’s Account and the Administrative Agent shall, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, apply the amounts so received, first, to prepay outstanding Extraordinary Advances, second, to prepay outstanding Swing Loans, third, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans, fourth, to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Usage, and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall remit the remaining funds, if any, to the applicable Loan Party or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Loan Parties to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (however denominated) or gross income, or franchise Taxes, in each case (A) imposed by the United States or by any jurisdiction (or, in either case, any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender has a lending office or its principal office or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) branch profits Taxes, and any similar Taxes, imposed by the United States or any other jurisdiction in which any such lending office or principal executive office is located or in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is deemed to be doing business, (iii) in the case of a Lender, the amount of U.S. Federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable

to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to applicable Law as in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Parent Borrower) or (y) such Lender changes its lending office (other than a change made at the request of the Parent Borrower under Section 3.06(c)), except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 3.01(a), amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iv) U.S. Taxes attributable to a Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s failure to comply with Section 10.14(a) and (v) any U.S. Federal withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes” and all such excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”). If any withholding agent shall be required by any applicable Laws to deduct or withhold any Tax from or in respect of the payment of any sum payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on account of any obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document, then (w) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) such withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deductions and withholdings, (y) such withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws and (z) within 30 days after the date of such payment to such Governmental Authority, such withholding agent shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to the applicable Lender) or to such Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or such other written evidence of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording Taxes or similar charges or levies that arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and each of their Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01), in each case to the extent payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or their Affiliates), as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including reasonable attorneys’ and tax advisors’ fees and expenses), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment delivered by a Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent the manifest error.

(d) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Loan Parties or for which the Loan Parties have indemnified any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.01 or the Security Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay the amount of such refund, net of any expenses incurred by, or any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers within 30 days of the receipt of such amount; provided that the Parent Borrower agrees, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, to promptly return the amount of such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (together with the amount of any applicable penalties, interest or other charges in respect thereof) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(d), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender (and their Affiliates) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

(e) The Administrative Agent may withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents, including Taxes for which the Borrowers are not required to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(a). Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(e). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.01(e) shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” shall include any SPC.

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Revolving Credit Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon

the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) Subject to this Section 3.03, if, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, the Administrative Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Parent Borrower does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Parent Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Parent Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as

applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

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

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03.

(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,

then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Parent Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Section 3.04 Increased Cost; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (iii) through (v) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, any Loan), or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participating in or maintaining Extraordinary Advances (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit or Extraordinary Advances), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by

such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Revolving Credit Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances 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 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 or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, 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) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (c) of Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 9 months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 9-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Revolving Credit Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Revolving Credit Loan; provided the Borrowers shall have received at least 10

days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses. (a) Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(ii) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Revolving Credit Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower (including any such failure arising as a result of a revocation by such Borrower of any notice of prepayment, borrowing, continuation or conversion); or

(iii) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Revolving Credit Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

(b) For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Revolving Credit Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any material amount of Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit 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 materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

(c) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, the relevant Lender has declined to, or is unable to, designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(b), then the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.16 if such replacement would result in a reduction of such compensation or Taxes.

Section 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

The Parent Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, shall implement and maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance by the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with all applicable Sanctions and Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall fund any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with proceeds derived from a transaction prohibited by Sanctions or Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws or any manner that would cause the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be in breach of Sanctions or Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

Section 6.16 Field Examinations and Inventory Appraisals. The Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries will permit the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent (including any consultants, accountants and appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent) to conduct, at the Loan Parties’ expense, (a) field examinations of the books and records of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries relating to the Parent Borrower’s computation of the Borrowing Base (or any component thereof) and the related reporting and control systems and (b) appraisals of the Inventory included in the Borrowing Base, all at such time or times as may be requested by the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.04 or any other Loan Document, (i) unless an Increased Reporting Event has occurred, no more than one field examination and one appraisal in any calendar year shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties, (ii) during any calendar year in which an Increased Reporting Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conduct up to two additional field examinations and collateral appraisals as it determines are necessary or appropriate in its Permitted Discretion, in each case at the expense of the Loan Parties, (iii) after the occurrence of and during the occurrence of an Event of Default, all field exams and appraisals shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties, and (iv) in the event that the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary shall have consummated an Acquisition, without limitation of the foregoing the Parent Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent conduct or cause to be conducted (and, commercially and reasonably promptly upon such request, the Administrative Agent shall commence or cause to be commenced) a field examination and an appraisal with respect to the Accounts and Inventory acquired by the Loan Parties as a result thereof, and any such field examinations and appraisals shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties (and shall not count towards the limit set forth in the immediately preceding proviso). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent may conduct field examinations and appraisals in addition to those set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, but such additional field examinations and appraisals shall not be at the expense of the Loan Parties. For purposes of this paragraph, it is understood and agreed that a single field examination or appraisal may be conducted at multiple relevant sites and involve one or more Loan Parties and their assets. Each Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, after exercising its rights under this

119

Section, may prepare and distribute to the Lenders certain reports pertaining to the Loan Parties’ assets for internal use by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

Section 6.17 Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts.

(a) The Loan Parties will maintain their primary depository and treasury management relationships with the Administrative Agent, another Lender or one or more of their respective Affiliates (or a Person that was the Administrative Agent, a Lender or one of their respective Affiliates as of the date such relationship was entered into) at all times during the term of the Agreement.

(b) The Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, (i) instruct all of its Account Debtors to forward payment of the amounts owed by such Account Debtors directly to a Collection Account (other than with respect to Accounts of Account Debtors consisting of the United States or any department, agent or instrumentality of the United States, if the terms of such Accounts or applicable Law prohibit payment into a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement), and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the third Business Day (or the first Business Day during any Cash Dominion Period) after the date of receipt thereof (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), all of such Loan Party’s collections and proceeds of Collateral (including those sent directly by any such Account Debtors to such Loan Party) into a Collection Account.

(c) The Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, cause each Deposit Account (excluding any Excluded Deposit Account but including each Collection Account) of a Loan Party and each Securities Account (excluding any Excluded Securities Account) of a Loan Party to be subject to a Control Agreement (i) within 120 days in the case of any Deposit Account or Securities Account acquired as part of a Permitted Acquisition, with such period being deemed to begin on the date of the acquisition of such Deposit Account or Securities Account or (ii) within 30 days in the case of any Deposit Account or Securities Account created after the Closing Date, with such period deemed to begin on the date of the creation of such Deposit Account or Securities Account.

(d) Each Control Agreement shall (unless otherwise reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent) provide, among other things, that (i) the applicable bank or securities intermediary will comply with any instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of the funds in applicable Deposit Account or Securities Account subject to such Control Agreement, without further consent by the applicable Loan Party, (ii) the applicable bank or securities intermediary waives, subordinates, or agrees not to exercise any rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Deposit Account or Securities Account other than for (A) payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Deposit Account, (B) returned checks or other items of payment and (C) other customary items, and (iii) with respect to each Collection Account, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent to the applicable bank or securities intermediary that a Cash Dominion Period has commenced and is continuing (an “Activation Instruction”), the applicable bank will forward no less frequently than once per Business Day all amounts in the applicable Collection Account (net of any customary minimum balance as may be required to be maintained in such Collection Account by such depositary bank or as otherwise agreed by the Parent Borrower and the

120

Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent’s Account. Subject to Section 8.02, the Administrative Agent agrees not to issue an Activation Instruction with respect to any Collection Account unless a Cash Dominion Period is in effect. The Administrative Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to rescind an Activation Instruction once no Cash Dominion Period is in effect.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to compliance with Section 6.17(a) of this Agreement, the Parent Borrower may amend Schedule 6.17 to add or replace a bank or securities intermediary and shall upon such addition or replacement provide to the Administrative Agent an amended Schedule 6.17; provided, however, that, other than in the case of Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts acquired as part of a Permitted Acquisition, (i) such prospective bank or securities intermediary shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion (it being understood that any prospective bank or securities intermediary that is a Lender on the Closing Date or an Affiliate of such a Lender shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion), and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Deposit Account (excluding any Excluded Deposit Account but including each Collection Account) or Securities Account (excluding any Excluded Securities Account), the applicable Loan Party, the applicable bank or securities intermediary and the Administrative Agent shall have executed and delivered a Control Agreement. Each Loan Party shall close any of its Deposit Accounts and Securities Account as promptly as practicable and in any event within 120 days after notice from the Administrative Agent that (x) the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of such bank or securities intermediary with respect to any Control Agreement or any control agreement unrelated to this Agreement is no longer acceptable in the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion or (y) the Administrative Agent’s liability under any Control Agreement with such bank or securities intermediary is no longer acceptable in the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion.

Section 6.18 Inventory.

(a) The Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement with respect to each location from time to time set forth on Schedule 6.18 that is a leased real property where any Inventory is located or where any warehouseman, bailee or consignee has possession of any Inventory, and in each case such Inventory has a Value in excess of $10,000,000 (i) in the case of any such location set forth on such Schedule 6.18 on the Closing Date, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and, in any event, within 60 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) in the case of any such location added to such Schedule 6.18 after the Closing Date pursuant to clause (b) below where Inventory with a Value in excess of $10,000,000 is located, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter and, in any event, within 60 days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion).

(b) The Loan Parties shall maintain their Inventory (other than in-transit Inventory and immaterial amounts of Inventory) solely at one or more locations set forth on Schedule 6.18; provided that the Loan Parties may also maintain their Inventory at such other locations in the United States as may have been specified in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which notice (i) contains all the information with respect to such location

121

contemplated to be provided with respect to a location by Schedule 6.18 (and, upon delivery of such notice, Schedule 6.18 shall be deemed to have been supplemented to set forth each such newly specified location) and (ii) in the case of any such location that is not owned in fee by the Loan Parties, is accompanied by a copy of the warehouse, fulfillment, distribution or other bailee agreement governing the maintenance of Inventory by the applicable Loan Party at such location. On Schedule 6.18, the Parent Borrower shall identify the locations for which a Collateral Access Agreement is required hereunder and the locations for which a Collateral Access Agreement is not required hereunder.

Section 6.19 Post-Closing Covenants. Within the time periods set forth on Schedule 6.19 (or such later period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Borrowers shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent take the actions set forth on Schedule 6.19.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Capital One to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions other than Section 9.09. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The Administrative Agent is further authorized to execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Loan Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents or a similar role under applicable Law, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities

137

as a Lender, potential Hedge Provider and potential Bank Product Provider) and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Secured Parties), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents (including in any proceeding described in Sections 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with any Loan Document to any Secured Party is hereby authorized to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by the Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) each of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 or (iv) any Secured Party from filing proofs of claim (and thereafter appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or other Debtor Relief Law), but in the case of this clause (iv) if, and solely if, the Administrative Agent has not filed such proof of claim or other instrument of similar

138

character in respect of the Obligations under the Loan Documents within five (5) days before the expiration of the time to file the same.

(f) The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) Section 2.12, this Article IX, Section 10.02, Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.17, Section 10.18, Section 10.16, and Section 3.01 (and, solely with respect to L/C Issuers, Section 2.03), all terms and provisions contained herein applicable to Hedge Providers or Bank Product Providers, as applicable, and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.04 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

139

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of automatic stay provisions under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action unless, upon demand, the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Person) against all liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Related Parties thereof.

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

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer;

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, including with respect to the existence and aggregate amount of Obligations under Bank Product Agreements or Hedge Agreements at any time, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vii) the qualification of (or lapse of any qualification of) any cash or Cash Equivalents, Accounts or Inventory under the eligibility criteria set forth herein, other than eligibility criteria expressly referring to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to, or being determined by, the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the

140

Borrowers or any Lender as a result of (A) any determination of the Revolver Usage, the Borrowing Base or the component amounts of any of the foregoing, (B) the calculation of Average Excess Availability, (C) the terms and conditions of any intercreditor agreement or subordination agreement or any component thereof or (D) the determination of whether the Payment Conditions have been satisfied;

(g) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party, any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person, or have any liability for, any incorrect or inaccurate determination of the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate for any purpose under any Loan Document, in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment; and

(h) shall not, nor shall any of its Related Parties, have any duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of any Lender or L/C Issuer receiving a copy of any Agent Report. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall have any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any Agent Report, or the appropriateness of any Agent Report for any Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s purposes, and shall have no duty or responsibility to correct or update any Agent Report or disclose to any Lender or L/C Issuer any other information not embodied in any Agent Report, including any supplemental information obtained after the date of any Agent Report. Each Lender and L/C Issuer releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties that in any way relates to any Agent Report or arises out of any Lender or L/C Issuer having access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by any Lender or L/C Issuer arising out of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents.

Section 9.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent Borrower), independent accountants and other

141

experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Secured Party to act as collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent for purposes of perfecting all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Secured Party, and may further authorize and direct the Secured Parties to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to the Administrative Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed.

Section 9.06 Resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent Borrower at all times other than during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or another financial services company with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or financial services company 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 Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section 9.06(a) (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any

142

Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Administrative 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 Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

(d) Any resignation by Capital One as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a) Acknowledgment of Lenders and L/C Issuers. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties

143

and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Erroneous Payments.

(i) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or L/C Issuer that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or L/C Issuer from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Erroneous Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or L/C Issuer (whether or not known to such Lender or L/C Issuer), and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or L/C Issuer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.07(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender or L/C Issuer otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the

144

Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Parent Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender or L/C Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to such amount, and an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party. Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.07(b) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 9.08 The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. Subject to Section 9.01(e), 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 Obligation related to Letters of Credit 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 Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Usage 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 Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

145

Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

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 L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (i) to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall promptly be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

146

Section 9.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and L/C Issuers (and by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, the holders of any Bank Product Obligations are hereby deemed to) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed of to a Person if the Parent Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) if such property is owned by any Guarantor that has been released from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.09(b), (iv) to release any Liens on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document that is or becomes an Excluded Asset (as defined in the Security Agreement), or (v) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (and such additional Lenders if required pursuant to Section 10.01); provided, that the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (and by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, the holders of any Bank Product Obligations are hereby deemed to) agree that upon the occurrence of any such event in this clause (a), such Liens shall be automatically released;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (i) upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (ii) if the Parent Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry) that (A) such Person has ceased to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, or (B) such Guarantor has ceased to be a Domestic Subsidiary or becomes a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO, in each case, as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (and such additional Lenders if required pursuant to Section 10.01); provided, that the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (and by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, the holders of any Bank Product Obligations are hereby deemed to) agree that upon the occurrence of any event in this clause (b), such obligations under such Guaranty shall be released; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.09. In each case as specified in this Section 9.09, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09. In each case as specified in this Section 9.09, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from

147

the assignment, security interest and Lien granted under the Collateral Documents, and, if applicable, return any possessory collateral or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 9.10 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a, “bookrunning manager” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

All such written notices shall be mailed certified or registered mail, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to Section 10.02(b)) electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i) if to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender or any L/C Issuer, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender and the L/C Issuers.

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in clause (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such clause (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including electronic mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

153

website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or executed and delivered by facsimile or other Electronic Transmission. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

(d) Electronic Transmission.

(i) Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make information and/or materials provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) available to the Lenders by posting communications on IntraLinks or a substantially similar Electronic Transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Borrower Materials, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Borrower Materials or the Platform. Each Loan Party further agrees that certain of the Lenders may not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities (each, a “Public Lender”). The Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders to treat Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. All Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” (or another similar term). The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” (or such other similar term). In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Parent Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Parent Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, 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 Parent Borrower, any Loan Party, any Lender

154

or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(a), each of the Administrative Agent, Lenders, each Loan Party and each of their Related Parties, is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each Loan Party and each Secured Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

(iii) All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 10.02 and this Section 10.01, the separate terms, conditions and privacy policy posted or referenced in such E-System (or such terms, conditions and privacy policy as may be updated from time to time, including on such E-System) and related contractual obligations executed by the Administrative Agent and Loan Parties in connection with the use of such E-System. . Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E‑Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party and each Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

(iv) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY

155

E‑SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. Each of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties executing this Agreement and the Secured Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

(e) Reliance by the Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation and requests for Letters of Credit) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(f) Updated Notice Information, Etc. Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and each L/C Issuer may change its address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, facsimile number, electronic mail address and telephone number to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided

156

under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13) or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c), and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

158

Indemnitee, in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration (including any restructuring or work-out related thereto) of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Fee Letter) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or related reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expense is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Parties, (y) a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Indemnified Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (z) disputes solely among the Indemnitees not arising from or in connection with any act or omission by the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates (other than a dispute against the Administrative Agent, any Arrangers or any bookrunners in its capacity as such). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the Platform in connection with this Agreement except as provided in Section 10.02(d), nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. The Administrative Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not the Borrowers are obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. The Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers). In the event the

159

Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Loan Parties, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion thereof. Each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Related Parties of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Revolving Credit Loan or other Credit Extension hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 10.04(c) shall survive the Payment in Full of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. No party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any liabilities (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) against any other party hereto, 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations under Section 10.04(b) to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in a claim against an Indemnitee for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.04(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, including the Platform, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnified Party with respect to its performance of services hereunder as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after demand (accompanied by an invoice) therefor (or 30 days of demand (accompanied by an invoice) therefor, in the case of Lender Group Expenses).

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender and the L/C Issuers, the replacement of any Lender and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any

160

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 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 severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including participations in Letter of Credit Usage, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it thereunder or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect

161

to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would

162

constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to a natural person.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Revolving Credit Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(vii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their own expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of

163

the Loans and Letter of Credit Usage owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (with respect to its own Loans and Commitments only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties hereto intend that the Register shall be maintained such that the Loans are in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c).

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Lender or any L/C Issuer, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Usage, Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.06(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein and the requirements under Section 10.14, it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10.14 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.16 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.06(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity

164

of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Letters of Credit, Extraordinary Advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Revolving Credit Loan, Letter of Credit, Extraordinary Advance or other obligation is in registered form for the purposes of the Code, including under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 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 Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.06(b) and (c) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or creation of a security interest in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24; provided that no such pledge shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(c)(ii). Each Granting Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each SPC to which it grants an option pursuant to this Section 10.06(h) and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of any Loan or portion thereof provided to the Parent Borrower by such SPC (the “SPC Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the SPC Register (including the identity of any SPC or any information relating to a SPC’s interest in any Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Letters of Credit, Extraordinary Advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is

165

necessary to establish that such Commitment, Revolving Credit Loan, Letter of Credit, Extraordinary Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the SPC Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the SPC Register as the owner of the relevant interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining any SPC Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Capital One assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Capital One may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Capital One as an L/C Issuer. If Capital One resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Letter of Credit Usage with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit which remain unreimbursed or which have not been paid through a Revolving Credit Loan). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any other L/C Issuer, in its capacity as Lender, assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), such Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the other Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders (subject to such Lender’s acceptance of such appointment) a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Lender

166

as an L/C Issuer. If such Lender resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Letter of Credit Usage with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit which remain unreimbursed or which have not been paid through a Revolving Credit Loan. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 10.07 Confidentiality; Tombstones; Press Release and Related Matters.

(a) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) pursuant to the order of any Governmental Authority or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable Laws or regulations or compulsory legal process (in which case each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable Law, to inform the Borrowers promptly thereof), (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (including in the course of inspections, examinations or inquiries by any Governmental Authorities, self-regulatory agencies and rating agencies), (d) to the extent that the Information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure in violation of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent or Lender, (e) for purposes of establishing any defense, including a “due diligence” defense, or for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (f) to the extent that such information is or was received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender from a third party that is not, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates, (g) to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (h) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07(a), to (x) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties and (i) with the consent of the Borrowers. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their

167

respective securities, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Law. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07(a) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

(b) Tombstones. Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender of any press releases, tombstones, advertising or other promotional materials (including via any Electronic Transmission) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.

Section 10.08 Setoff. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Administrative Agent, set off against the Obligations any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any Deposit Accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against any Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (a) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (b) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by the Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall (i) turn the same over to the Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Administrative Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or (ii) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

168

Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission.

Section 10.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. Subject to Section 10.27, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are Paid in Full.

Section 10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall

169

not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 10.14 Tax Forms.

(a) (i) The Administrative Agent or any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as applicable), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 10.14(a)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (ii)(E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment such completion (as applicable), execution or submission would subject such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

170

177

Accordingly, each Borrower hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses that would otherwise be available to such Borrower under applicable law.

(b) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligations until such time as all of the Obligations are Paid in Full, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality.

(c) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 10.25 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 10.25(c)) or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Borrower (other than the Parent Borrower) hereby waives presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Revolving Credit Loan or any Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement, notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations or other financial accommodations or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any right to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other Person, to protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Borrower, any other Person, or any Collateral, to pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s, any L/C Issuer’s, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), any right to assert against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor, and any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Borrower’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Borrower against any other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of,

178

any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any Default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any other Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 10.25 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 10.25, it being the intention of each Borrower that, until the Obligations are Paid in Full, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 10.25 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 10.25 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each of the Borrowers waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the other Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Administrative Agent may, at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales or other dispositions or may exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Bank Product Provider may have against any Borrower or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the other Borrowers hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been Paid in Full.

(e) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of the other Borrowers’ financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

179

(f) The provisions of this Section 10.25 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Bank Product Provider, and their respective successors and assigns, may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 10.25 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 10.25 will automatically be reinstated, as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.25, including rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Bank Product Provider against any Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until such time as all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer hereunder or under any of the Bank Product Agreements are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be Paid in Full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Bank Product Providers, and shall promptly be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Borrower (the “Foreclosed Borrower”), including after Payment in Full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Borrower whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 10.26 Bank Product Providers. Subject to this Section 10.26, each Bank Product Provider in its capacity as such shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act as the Administrative Agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Administrative Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release Bank Product Reserves and that if Bank Product Reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such Bank Product Reserves is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the Administrative Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Product Agreement, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the applicable Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the applicable Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to the Administrative Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product Agreement shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider of Bank Products or a holder of Bank Product Obligations owing thereunder, and the consent of any such Bank Product Provider shall not be required (other than in their respective capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

Section 10.27 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC

may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States:

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.27, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

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