the purchase by Term B Loan Lender of the Obligations owing to the Revolving Loan Lenders pursuant to the purchase option granted to Term B Loan Lender set forth in Amendment No. 4).”

Assignments; Participations.

(a) Section 13.7(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:

“(a) Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent, assign all or, if less than all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning

Lender (or in the case of Term B Loan Lender, a portion equal to at least $2,000,000), of such rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees (but not including for this purpose any assignments in the form of a participation), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that, (i) such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by Agent on the Register and (ii) Agent shall have received for its sole account payment of a processing fee from the assigning Lender or the assignee in the amount of $5,000; provided, that, such fee shall not be applicable to any assignments made to Affiliates of the assigning Lender or Approved Funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7(a), Term B Loan Lender may assign any or all of its rights under the Financing Agreements to an Affiliate of Term B Loan Lender or an Approved Fund of Term B Loan Lender without the prior written consent of Agent and without delivering an Assignment and Acceptance to Agent or Borrowers, provided, that, (i) Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Term B Loan Lender until a fully executed Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to Agent for recordation on the Register, (ii) the failure of Term B Loan Lender to deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to Agent or Borrowers shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment and (iii) an Assignment and Acceptance between Term B Loan Lender and an Affiliate of Term B Loan Lender or an Approved Fund of Term B Loan Lender shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance.”

“(i) A Registered Term B Loan (and the Registered Term B Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register or comparable register (and each Registered Term B Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Term B Loan (and the Registered Term B Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (or comparable register), together with the surrender of the Registered Term B Note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such Registered Term B Note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new Registered Term B Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Term B Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any evidencing the same), Agent and Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the event that Term B Loan Lender sells participations in a Registered Term B Loan, Term B Loan Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Term B Loan (the “Participant

Register”). A Registered Term B Loan (and the Registered Term B Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Registered Term B Note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.”

Term B Lender Purchase Option.

4.1 Notice of Exercise. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Event, Term B Loan Lender shall have the option at any time upon five (5) business days' prior written notice to Agent to purchase all of the Obligations (other than those already owing to Term B Loan Lender) from the Revolving Loan Lenders. Such notice from Term B Loan Lender to Agent shall be irrevocable.

Upon the date of such purchase and sale, Term B Loan Lender shall (a) pay to Agent on behalf of Revolving Loan Lenders as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all the Obligations (other than those already owing to Term B Loan Lender) then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses but excluding the Early Termination Fee), (b) furnish cash collateral to Agent in a manner and in such amounts as Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure Agent and Revolving Loan Lenders in connection with any issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations (but not in any event in an amount greater than one hundred five (105%) percent of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit Accommodations), (c) agree to reimburse Agent and Revolving Loan Lenders for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations as described above and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations (other than those already owing to Term B Loan Lender), and/or as to which Agent or any Revolving Loan Lender has not yet received final payment and for any other amounts which Agent may be required to pay to any bank or other financial institution that is a party to a Deposit Account Control Agreement (and, in each case, all of such payments shall be made without offset, deduction or defense), (d) agree to reimburse Agent and Revolving Loan Lenders in respect of indemnification obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as to matters or circumstances known to Term B Loan Lender at the time of the purchase and sale which would reasonably be expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) to Agent or Revolving Loan Lenders, provided that, in no event will Term B Loan Lender have any liability for such amounts in excess of proceeds of Collateral received

by Term B Loan Lender, (e) agree to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and Revolving Loan Lenders from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party as a direct result of any acts by Term B Loan Lender occurring after the date of such purchase and (f) agree to pay to Agent and Revolving Loan Lenders the Early Termination Fee within three (3) business days after receipt by Term B Loan Lender of amounts sufficient to pay such Early Termination Fee, after the payment in full in cash to Term B Loan Lender of the Term B Loan and the other Obligations purchased by Term B Loan Lender pursuant to this Section 4, including principal, interest and fees thereon and costs and expense of collection thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses), provided, that, the notice of termination or effective date of termination of the Loan Agreement occurs within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the purchase of the Obligations by Term B Loan Lender. Term B Loan Lender shall not agree to any amendment to the terms of the Loan Agreement with respect to the Early Termination Fee during such ninety (90) day period. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of Agent in New York, New York, as Agent may designate in writing to Term B Loan Lender for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by Term Loan Agent to the bank account designated by Working Capital Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated to and including such business day if the amounts so paid by Term B Loan Lender to the bank account designated by Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time.

4.4 Limitation on Representations and Warranties. Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by Agent or any Revolving Loan Lender as to the Obligations owing to any of them or otherwise and without recourse to Agent or any Revolving Loan Lender, except that each Revolving Loan Lender shall represent and warrant: (a) the amount of its portion of the Obligations being purchased, (b) that such Revolving Loan Lender owns its portion of the Obligations free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances and (c) such Revolving Loan Lender has the right to assign such Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.

4.5 Notice of Exercise of Remedies. Agent agrees that it will give Term B Loan Lender five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of its intention to commence the exercise of any enforcement right or remedy against the Collateral and/or to accelerate all or any material portion of the Obligations, except that such period of prior written notice may be less (but in any event concurrently with exercise thereof) as to any portion of the Collateral to the extent that in the good faith determination of Agent there are events or circumstances that imminently threaten the value of such Collateral or the ability of Agent to exercise its rights with respect to such Collateral, including the removal, diversion, concealment, abscondment, destruction or waste thereof. In the event that during such five (5) Business Day period (or such lesser period as provided above), Term B Loan Lender shall send to Agent the irrevocable notice of Term B Loan Lender's intention to exercise the purchase option given by Revolving Loan Lenders to Term B Loan Lender under this Section 4, Agent shall not commence any foreclosure or other action to sell or otherwise realize upon the Collateral or accelerate all or any material portion of the Obligations (provided that continuing collection of accounts receivable and other actions permitted under the Loan Agreement and other Financing Agreements shall not be prohibited hereunder), provided, that, the purchase and sale with respect to the Obligations provided for herein shall have closed within five (5) Business Days thereafter and Agent shall have received payment in full of the Obligations as provided for herein within such five (5) Business Day period.
