(E) if Revolving Loans would be outstanding under the applicable Facility immediately after giving effect to each such increase, then simultaneously with such increase (1) each such Lender, each such Affiliate, Approved Fund or other Person and each other Lender under such Facility shall be deemed to have entered into a master assignment and acceptance agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit A, pursuant to which each such other Lender shall have assigned to each such Lender and each such Affiliate, Approved Fund or other Person a portion of its Revolving Loans necessary to reflect proportionately the Revolving Commitments as adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.5(d), and (2) in connection with such assignment, each such Lender and each such Affiliate, Approved Fund or other Person shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other Lenders, such amount as shall be necessary to appropriately reflect the assignment to it of Revolving Loans, and in connection with such master assignment each such other Lender may treat the assignment of Eurodollar Borrowings as a prepayment of such Eurodollar Borrowings for purposes of Section 3.6; and

(F) each such Affiliate, Approved Fund or other Person shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Affiliate, Approved Fund or other Person pursuant to Section 3.7.

Section 2.6. Repayment of Loans

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Existing Facility Loan (other than each Swingline Loan) on the Existing Facility Maturity Date, and (ii) the unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earliest to occur of the last day of the Swingline Interest Period applicable thereto, the tenth Business Day immediately preceding the Swingline Termination Date, and the date on which the Swingline Loans shall

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Term B Loan shall be payable (1) in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of such Term B Loan on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date following the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, and (2) in full on the Term B Maturity Date.

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and/or Extended Term Loans of any Class in whole or in part subject to any restrictions set forth in the Facility Amendment applicable to such Class. Each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of Existing Term Loans under this Section 2.7 shall be applied (i) pro rata among each Existing Term Loan then outstanding, and (ii) for each Existing Term Loan, to reduce the remaining installments payable thereon pro rata. Each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of Term B Loans under this Section 2.7 shall be applied (i) pro rata among each Term B Loan then outstanding, and (ii) for each Term B Loan, to reduce the remaining installments payable thereon pro rata.

(b) In the event of any partial reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures under the applicable Facility after giving effect thereto and (ii) if such sum would exceed the total Revolving Commitments for such Facility after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. To the extent that the Revolving Borrowings have been prepaid in full and the Revolving Credit Exposure for the applicable Facility still exceeds the Revolving Commitments as a result of the LC Exposure, the Borrower shall cash collateralize, on terms and conditions in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.9(i) of this Agreement, outstanding Letters of Credit in a principal amount sufficient to eliminate the excess Revolving Credit Exposure.

(c) Upon the occurrence of each Amortization Event, and thereafter on each Compliance Certificate Delivery Date until such time, if any, as an Amortization Termination

(d) The Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans pro rata in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year in respect of Affected Sales; provided that, no such prepayment shall be required to the extent that such Net Proceeds are used within 12 months of receipt thereof to purchase assets to be used in the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. “Affected Sale” means any sale or other disposition of assets (other than cash) or any casualty event or condemnation of property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than sales and dispositions to the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary) in each case occurring at any time that the ~~Senior~~Secured Leverage Ratio, as set forth in the Compliance Certificate most recently delivered, is greater than 2.75:1.00.

(e) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by ~~the Parent,~~ the Borrower or any Subsidiary (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.1) an amount equal

If any Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt shall be incurred by the Borrower, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence to the pro rata prepayment of the Refinanced Debt being refinanced.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a Term B Loan Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall, simultaneously therewith, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term B Lender, a premium in an amount equal to (X) in the case of a Term B Loan Repricing Transaction arising out of a Term B Loan B Refinancing within the meaning of clause (a) or (c) of such defined term, 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans being prepaid, or (Y) in the case of a Term B Loan Repricing Transaction arising out of a Term B Loan B Refinancing within the meaning of clause (b) of such defined term, 1.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the Term B Loans outstanding immediately prior thereto.

Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.1 together with any amounts required by Section 3.6.

Section 2.8. Evidence of Debt

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

(d) Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender, a Note payable to such Lender. In addition, if requested by a Lender, its Note may be made payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in which case all Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.4) be represented by one or more Notes in like form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

Section 2.9. Letters of Credit

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 2.12(d), the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars for its own account (or for the account of any Subsidiary other than NMTC Subsidiaries), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period from the Fourth Restatement Closing Date to the third day prior to the LC Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Upon satisfaction of the conditions in Article 5 on the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, in each case automatically and without further action on the part of any Person, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit will be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes of the Loan Documents and (ii) each Lender that has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have granted to each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each other such Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from such issuer, a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit equal to such other Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (A) the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Existing Letter of Credit and (B) the aggregate amount of any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement in respect thereof. With respect to each Existing Letter of Credit (x) if, prior to the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, the relevant issuer sold a participation therein to a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, such issuer and Lender agree that such participation shall be automatically canceled upon consummation of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, and (y) if, prior to the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, the relevant issuer sold a participation therein to any bank or financial institution that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, such issuer shall procure the termination of such participation on or prior to the Fourth Restatement Closing Date.

(b) Notice of Issuance; Amendment; Renewal; Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send by facsimile (or transmit by e-mail, with attachments thereto, if any, in .pdf format) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not later than two Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,

amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is three days prior to the LC Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of lengths not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the date that is three days prior to the LC Termination Date).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the applicable Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each such Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make any payment to the Administrative Agent for any wrongful LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank therefor, in which case the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement and any accrued interest thereon not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior

to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, or if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt, provided that, if the LC Disbursement is equal to or greater than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions of borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due (or if any such reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason), the Issuing Bank may notify the Administrative Agent that the Issuing Bank is requesting that the applicable Lenders make an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement and any accrued interest thereon, in which case (1) the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of such ABR Revolving Borrowing, and (2) each Lender shall, whether or not any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any representation or warranty shall be accurate, any condition to the making of any loan hereunder shall have been fulfilled, or any other matter whatsoever, make the Loan to be made by it under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, (A) on such date, in the event that such Lender shall have received notice of such ABR Revolving Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or (B) if such notice has not been received by such Lender prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (x) the Business Day that such Lender receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that such Lender receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt. Such Loans shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be an ABR Revolving Borrowing referred to in Section 2.1(a) and made pursuant to Section 2.4, and the Lenders’ obligations to make such Loans shall be absolute and unconditional. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Issuing Bank by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Issuing Bank for the purpose of repaying in full the LC Disbursement and all accrued interest thereon. An ABR Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) made when the conditions to an ABR Borrowing are not satisfied under Section 5.2 shall not be deemed to have satisfied the Borrower’s reimbursement obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement for purposes of determining whether or not an Event of Default exists under clause (a) of Article 8.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Except as provided below, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with

the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither any Credit Party nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether (x) drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit issued by it comply with the terms thereof, or (y) to pay under any Letter of Credit. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 3.1(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateral. If (x) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or Lenders

holding more than 50% of the total LC Exposure demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (y) the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article 8. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.9. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Such deposit shall not bear interest, nor shall the Administrative Agent be under any obligation whatsoever to invest the same, provided, however, that, at the request of the Borrower, such deposit shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America, in each case maturing no later than the expiry date of the Letter of Credit giving rise to the relevant LC Exposure. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, second, if there be any excess, to be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations (contingent or otherwise) of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time, third, if there be any excess, to reduce the Revolving Credit Exposure of all of the Lenders pro rata, and fourth, if there be any excess and if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount and any interest thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 2.10. Swingline Loans

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time in dollars until the Swingline Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $5,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan if (i) any Revolving Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, or (ii) any Revolving Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender and the Borrower in writing at least one Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing with respect to such Swingline Loan that the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied and such conditions remain unsatisfied as of the requested time of the making of such Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested date of such Borrowing, and (iii) the amount of, and the length of the Swingline Interest Period for, each Swingline Loan, provided, however, that no such Swingline Interest Period shall end after the Business Day immediately preceding the Swingline Termination Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.9(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day notify the Administrative Agent that the Swingline Lender is requesting that each Lender, and the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the total Swingline Exposure) or shall (at the request of Lenders holding more than 50% of the total Swingline Exposure) by written notice given to the Swingline Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require that each Lender, at the option of the Borrower, (i) make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to its pro rata Revolving Commitment with respect to the outstanding principal balance of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans, or (ii) acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. In either such case (i) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan or participation interest, as the case may be, and (ii) each Lender shall, whether or not any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any representation or warranty shall be accurate, any condition to the making of any Loan hereunder shall have been fulfilled, or any other matter whatsoever, make the Revolving Loan required to be made by it, or purchase the participation required to be purchased by it, under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, (A) in the event that such Lender receives such notice prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day, by no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, or (B) in the event that such Lender receives such notice at or after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day, by no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Any Loans made pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be Revolving Loans referred to in Section 2.1 and made pursuant to Section 2.4(a), and the Lenders’ obligations to make such Loans shall be absolute and unconditional. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans, or the amount of such participations, as the case may be, available to the Swingline Lender by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its pro rata Revolving Commitment and any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10 that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan

Documents. Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Swingline Lender, for any payment in connection with Swingline Loans and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent will promptly pay over such payment to such Lender. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan or the making by the Lenders of a Revolving Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.11. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs

(a) Each Loan Party shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal of Loans, LC Disbursements, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 10.3, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, 3:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office at 1301 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except payments to be made to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments made pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods and/or cure periods, if any), such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other applicable Lender, then the applicable Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other applicable Lenders to the extent necessary so that the

benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Loan Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that such Loan Party will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Loan Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if such Loan Party has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or 2.9(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of Sections 2.11(b) or 2.11(c) shall be permitted without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby.

Section 2.12. Defaulting Lenders

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of any Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a);

(b) the Commitments and Total Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders, the Majority Facility Lenders, the Majority A Lenders, or any other group of Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.2); provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification that would increase the Commitments of such Lender, or postpone the final maturity date of any payment of principal owed to such Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages to the extent (A) immediately after giving effect thereto, the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at such time (for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be changed as a result of such reallocation);

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above, (A) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (B) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.9(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) to the extent the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reallocation described in this Section 2.12(c);

(d) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c) but excluding Section 3.9) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts then owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts then owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the extent requested by the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.13. Incremental Term Facilities

(a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender), request to add one or more additional tranches of term loans (all such additional tranches of term loans, the “Incremental Term Loans”; and all such incremental facilities therefor, the “Incremental Term Facilities”); provided that (X) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans (determined at the time

of incurrence) plus the Aggregate Increased Revolving Amount shall not exceed the Incremental Amount, and (Y) at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Facility Amendment, (i) no Event of Default (or, solely in connection with Acquisitions permitted by Section 7.5 and Investments permitted by Section 7.4 and provided that the applicable Incremental Term Lenders have agreed thereto, no Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a), (b), (h) or (i)) has occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect thereto, (ii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants (as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1) after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility and all transactions consummated in connection therewith, and (iii) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties and the Liberty Subsidiaries set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the making of the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to such Incremental Term Facility Amendment (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects without further qualification); provided that, customary “Sungard” or “certain funds” conditionality shall, to the extent agreed by such Incremental Lenders, apply to any Incremental Term Facilities entered into in order to finance Acquisitions permitted by Section 7.5 or Investments permitted by Section 7.4.

(b) Each Incremental Term Facility shall not be guaranteed by any ~~Subsidiary~~subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor and will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security (if any) with the other Loans and Commitments.

(c) Any Incremental Term Loans (i) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Term B Loans and Existing Term Loans, and (ii) other than currency, amortization, pricing (including interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, premiums and funding discounts) and maturity date, shall have the same terms as the Term B Loans or (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to the periods after the Term B Maturity Date) such terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of all of the Term B Loans), provided that (A) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date and (B) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than (x) if such Incremental Term Loan has amortization provisions substantially similar to those applicable to the then-existing Existing Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-existing Existing Term Loans and (y) if such Incremental Term Loan has amortization provisions other than those described in clause (x) above, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-existing Term B Loans.

(d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. Any bank, financial institution or other Person that agrees with the Borrower to extend Incremental Term Loans (each an “Incremental Term Lender”), shall (i) if not already a Lender or a Person to whom

a Lender may assign one or more Loans without the consent of the Administrative Agent hereunder, be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) if not already a Lender, become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (each an “Incremental Term Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Loan Parties, each such Incremental Term Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Incremental Term Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lender other than the Incremental Term Lenders with respect to such Incremental Term Facility Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans unless it so agrees in its sole and absolute discretion. An Incremental Term Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13. The effectiveness of any Incremental Term Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders (and subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 2.13(a)), be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.

(e) If the Effective Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loan exceeds the Effective Yield of the Term B Loans by more than 0.50%, the rate of interest per annum applicable to the Term B Loans shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of such excess minus 0.50%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement which would reduce the amount of any payment required as a result of the operation of this Section 2.13(e) shall be permitted without the written consent of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Term B Facility, and this Section 2.13(e) may be amended, modified or waived without the consent of any Lenders other than Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Term B Facility.

Section 2.14. Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt from any Additional Refinancing Lender, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, to receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Fourth Restatement Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsels’ forms of opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000, and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto, and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment. Unless the Swingline Lender enters into the Refinancing Amendment for a Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Swingline Termination Date will not be extended to reflect the Refinancing Revolving Commitments in such Facility, the Refinancing Revolving Lenders with such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall not participate in Swingline Loans, and the use of the terms “Revolving Commitments” and “Revolving Loans” in connection with the provisions of this Agreement governing Swingline Loans shall be deemed to exclude such Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans. Unless the Issuing Bank enters into the Refinancing Amendment for a Refinancing Revolving Facility, the LC Termination Date will not be extended to reflect the Refinancing Revolving Commitments in such Facility, the Refinancing Revolving Lenders with such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall not participate in Letters of Credit, and the use of the terms “Revolving Commitments” and “Revolving Loans” in connection with the provisions of this Agreement governing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to exclude such Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans.

Section 2.15. Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(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 Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date or Revolving Commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with the same Maturity Date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time offer to extend the maturity date of any Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by changing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or such Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Class of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to pricing (including interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, premiums and funding discounts) and final maturity, the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the

applicable original Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different Maturity Dates, (iii) except as to pricing (including interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, premiums and funding discounts), amortization, final maturity date, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall be not materially more favorable, taken as a whole, including with respect to covenants and events of default, to the Extending Term Lender, in the good faith determination of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Existing Facility Maturity Date, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of applicable Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or applicable Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or applicable Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer (as hereinafter provided) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of applicable Term Loans or applicable Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the applicable Term Loans or applicable Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of the applicable Term Lenders or applicable Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, 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 Term Lenders or such Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer (as hereinafter provided), (viii) any Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Loans may be secured by the Collateral securing the Loans being extended thereby and with the same priority as the Loans being extended thereby, (ix) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (x) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. Following any such Extension Offer, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lenders thereof, each of whom shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not to accept such Extension Offer.

(b) With respect to all Extensions accepted by the relevant Lenders and consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.6 or 2.7, and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving 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, without limitation, Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.11) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15. 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 any matter contemplated by this Section 2.15(c) and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by the Administrative Agent from Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; 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 Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least fifteen (15) 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 2.15.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall have such Lender’s Commitment or Loans extended without the written consent of such Lender. Unless the Swingline Lender enters into the Extension Amendment for an Extended Revolving Facility, the Swingline Termination Date will not be extended to reflect the Extended Revolving Commitments in such Facility, the Extending Revolving Lenders with such Extended Revolving Commitments shall not participate in Swingline Loans, and the use of the terms “Revolving Commitments” and “Revolving Loans” in connection with the provisions of this Agreement governing Swingline Loans shall be deemed to exclude such Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans. Unless the Issuing Bank enters into the Extension Amendment for an Extended Revolving Facility, the LC Termination Date will not be extended to reflect the Extended Revolving Commitments in such Facility, the Extending Revolving Lenders with such Extended Revolving Commitments shall not participate in Letters of Credit, and the use of the terms “Revolving Commitments” and “Revolving Loans” in connection with the provisions of this Agreement governing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to exclude such Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans.

The Loans comprising each Swingline Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Swingline Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing. Subject to Section 2.13(e), the Term B Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the higher of the Alternate Base Rate and the ABR Floor. Subject to Section 2.13(e), the Term B Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the higher of the LIBO Rate and the LIBO Floor.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Borrowings of the applicable Loans as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Sections 8(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all outstanding principal of each Loan and all unreimbursed reimbursement obligations in respect of all LC Disbursements shall, without duplication of amounts payable under the preceding sentence, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or LC Disbursement, as the case may be, as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Sections 8(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j)) has occurred and is continuing, then, if the Administrative Agent or Lenders holding more than 50% of the Total Credit Exposure of all Lenders of all Classes affected thereby, taken as a whole, request, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all outstanding principal of each Loan and all unreimbursed reimbursement obligations in respect of all LC Disbursements shall, without duplication of amounts payable under the preceding sentence, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or LC Disbursement, as the case may be, as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to

the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

Section 3.2. Interest Elections

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.3 and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.3. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the applicable Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or e-mail by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic or e-mail Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed by no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such request by hand delivery, e-mail or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a copy of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Lenders holding more than 50% of the Total Credit Exposure of all Classes affected thereby, taken as a whole, so notifies the Borrower, then, with respect to each such Class, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 3.3. Fees

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having a Revolving Commitment under the Existing Revolving Facility, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount of such unused Revolving Commitment (provided that Swingline Loans shall not be deemed to be a use of the Revolving Commitments for the purpose of the calculation of such commitment fee) during the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates (it being understood that LC Exposure constitutes a use of the Revolving Commitment). Accrued commitment fees and undrawn fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, each date on which the applicable Commitments are permanently reduced and on the date on which the applicable Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date. All commitment fees and undrawn fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings) on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving

Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% on the daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) with respect to each Letter of Credit during the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Credit Party, for its own account, the fees and other amounts payable in connection herewith in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Credit Party.

(d) All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, undrawn fees, and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 3.4. Alternate Rate of Interest

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining its Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (and the Administrative Agent shall give such notice promptly upon having actual knowledge that such circumstances no longer exist), (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 3.5. Increased Costs; Illegality

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any Letter of Credit or participations therein, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (other than relating to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.7, or the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes payable by a Credit Party);

(ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party; or

(iii) impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any Letter of Credit or participations therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Credit Party, by an amount which such Credit Party reasonably deems to be material, of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or the cost to such Credit Party, by an amount which such Credit Party reasonably deems to be material, of issuing, participating in or maintaining any Letter of Credit hereunder or to increase the cost to such Credit Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Credit Party, by an amount which such Credit Party reasonably deems to be material, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made, the Letters of Credit issued or the participations therein held, by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), by an amount reasonably deemed by such Credit Party to be material, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

Section 3.6. Break Funding Payments

In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered

pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.7(g) and is revoked in accordance therewith), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any, over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.7. Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that, if such Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten days after written demand therefor (which demand shall set forth the amount and the reasons therefor in reasonable detail), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority) paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (in the event that the Borrower is not in default of its obligations under this Section 3.7, excluding penalties and interest to the extent attributable to the actions or omissions of such Credit Party), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability and the reasons therefor in reasonable detail delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrower reasonably believes that Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the applicable Credit

Party or Transferee will reasonably cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for the benefit of the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Credit Party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising from such cooperation. Each Credit Party agrees that promptly after it receives written notice of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on it, it shall endeavor to give notice thereof to the Borrower, provided that such Credit Party shall have no liability to the Borrower for the failure to give any such notice.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Loan Party is located, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under the Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-US Lender”) shall to the extent it is legally able to do so deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Borrower and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (A) two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (B) two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, (C) in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding Tax under Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-US Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(3)(B) and 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (D) to the extent a Non-US Lender is not the beneficial owner, two duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Forms W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E as applicable, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-US Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-US Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exception, such Non-US Lender shall provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or (E) any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-US Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding Tax on all payments by the Borrower or any Loan Party under any Loan Document, and (ii) each Lender (and, in the case of a non-United States pass-through entity, each of its beneficial owners) that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to

the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form. The forms referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).

(g) If a Credit Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of or credit against any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.7, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 3.7 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Credit Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Credit Party agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Credit Party in the event the Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Credit Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date.

(i) Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Term B Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and Loan Parties to treat) the Term B Loans as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(j) Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Third Amendment Refinancing Effective Date, the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Revolving Lenders and the Existing Term Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and Loan Parties to treat) the Existing Revolving Loans and the Existing Term Loans as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

Section 3.8. Mitigation Obligations

If any Credit Party requests compensation under Section 3.5, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Credit Party pursuant to Section 3.7, then such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit (or any participation therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Credit Party, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.5 or 3.7, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Credit Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Credit Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and out of pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 3.9. Replacement of Lenders

If (i) any Credit Party requests compensation under Section 3.5, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Credit Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Credit Party pursuant to Section 3.7, (ii) any Lender with an unused Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) any Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.5(e) that it is unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, require such Credit Party to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Credit Party, if a Credit Party accepts such assignment); provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (b) such Credit Party shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (c) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, the Borrower, the Defaulting Lender (if any) or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.4(b), and (d) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.5 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Credit Party shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Credit Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE 9

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

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 such Person and its Affiliates may accept

112

deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 or otherwise in this Agreement), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries, any of the Liberty Subsidiaries or any Loan Party that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 or otherwise in this Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by ~~the Parent,~~ the Borrower or a Credit Party (and, promptly after its receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower notice thereof), and the Administrative Agent 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 any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness thereof or any other agreement, instrument or other document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other 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.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by any Loan Party of any rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related

113

Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no consent of the Borrower shall be required, to appoint a successor from among the Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no consent of the Borrower shall be required, from among the Lenders or an Affiliate of any such Lender with minimum capital and undivided surplus of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or any of their Affiliates 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 Credit Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or any of their Affiliates 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 any Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, no Agent (other than the Administrative Agent), Arranger, First Amendment Arranger, Third Amendment Co-Lead Arranger (as defined in the Third Amendment) ~~and~~, Fourth Amendment Arranger and Fifth Amendment Arranger, in each case acting in such capacity, shall have any duty or obligation under the Loan Documents.

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the expiration, termination or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold

114

or otherwise transferred or to be sold or otherwise transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or other transfer permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and (ii) to release any Subsidiary or Liberty Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or Liberty Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party or Liberty Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section.

The use of a Platform in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any electronic communications made on the Platform, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in such electronic communications.

115

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and 6.2 may be delivered by e-mail or facsimile. Promptly after receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall post such documents electronically with notice of such posting to each Lender and if so posted, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which such documents are posted on the Platform, if any, to which each Lender has access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent’s obligation to deliver information pursuant to this Section 10.1 may be discharged by posting such information on the Platform in accordance with the remaining provisions of this paragraph. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that (i) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders on a confidential basis materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of ~~the Parent and~~ the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Materials”) by posting the Materials on the Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Public Lender”). The ~~Parent~~Borrower shall xxxx Materials that the ~~Parent~~Borrower intends to be made available to Public Lenders clearly and conspicuously as “PUBLIC.” By designating Materials as “PUBLIC,” the ~~Parent~~Borrower authorizes such Materials to be made available to a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” which is intended to contain only information that is either publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to such Person or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and State securities laws. Any Materials not marked “PUBLIC” shall be treated as if it contains material non-public information with respect to the ~~Parent~~Borrower and the subsidiaries thereof or their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ~~Parent~~Borrower is under no obligation to xxxx any Materials as “PUBLIC.”

Section 10.2. Waivers; Amendments

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.1(d) with respect to Add- on Term Loans, Section 2.5(d) with respect to additional Revolving Commitments, Section 2.13 with respect to Incremental Term Loans, Section 2.14 with respect to Refinancing Revolving Loans and Refinancing Term Loans and Section 2.15 with respect to Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Term Loans, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Required Lenders or by the Parent, the

116

Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement, or reduce the rate of any interest thereon (other than any waiver of default interest payable pursuant to Section 3.1(b)), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Credit Party directly and adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled principal payment date (other than mandatory prepayments) or postpone any other payment at stated maturity of any Loan or the date of payment of any reimbursement obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement, any interest (other than any waiver of default interest) or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce (other than any waiver of default interest) the amount of, or waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Credit Party directly and adversely affected thereby, (iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by Section 2.11(b), the application of mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.7, the application of payments under Section 2.11(b), or the pro rata reduction of Commitments required by Section 2.5(c), without the written consent of each Credit Party directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that, no consent of a Lender shall be required under this clause (iv) if, contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, the Commitments of such Lender are terminated, and all principal and interest on such Lender’s Loans and all fees and other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) are paid in full, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or reduce the number or percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or in any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender in the group of Lenders to which such number or percentage applies (it being understood that an amendment shall not be deemed to change such provisions to the extent it effects an increase or decrease in the commitment of any Lender(s) or in the aggregate amount of the commitments of any Class), (vi) release the Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee hereunder (except as expressly provided herein or in the Security Documents), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender that is a beneficiary of such Guarantee, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender that is a beneficiary of such Collateral, or (viii) expressly change or waive any condition precedent in Section 5.2 to any Revolving Borrowing under a Revolving Facility without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to such Revolving Facility; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the above provision of this Section 10.2(b), (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects one or more Classes of Lenders (but not of all Classes of Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lenders holding the requisite percentage in interest of Total Credit Exposures of all affected Classes, taken as a whole, and (C) any waiver, amendment or modification with respect to a Financial Covenant or any amendment or modification of a defined term used in a Financial Covenant to the extent such defined term is utilized solely for purposes of calculating such Financial Covenant shall require the consent only of the Borrower and the

117

Lenders holding more than 50% of the Total Credit Exposures of all Classes subject to such Financial Covenant, taken as a whole.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of one or more affected Classes of Lenders), if the consent of the Required Lenders (or the consent of Lenders of the affected Classes holding more than 50% of the Total Credit Exposures of all Lenders of such Classes, taken as a whole) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is so required but not so obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent, require each of the Non-Consenting Lenders to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) and that shall consent to the Proposed Change, provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent(s) shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (b) each Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.4(b).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement (it being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to provide or to commit to provide all or any portion of any such additional credit facility) and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if within sixty (60) days following the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of any of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion) and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

118

(f) Any Lender may authorize the Administrative Agent to sign any amendment, modification or waiver hereto in any authorization form agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and no Lender shall be entitled to see any other Lender’s authorization form.

Section 10.3. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Counsel, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents during the continuation of an Event of Default, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiation in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. For purposes of this Section 10.3, “Counsel” means (X) in connection with (1) any workout, restructuring or similar negotiation with respect to the Obligations, (2) any Event of Default arising from a failure by the Borrower to pay the principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement when due, (3) any acceleration of the Loans, and/or (4) any filing or proceeding referred to in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article 8, counsel for each Credit Party, or (Y) in all other events, (i) any counsel for the Credit Parties, and (ii) if a conflict exists, reasonably necessary additional counsel for the affected Credit Parties.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Arranger, First Amendment Arranger, Third Amendment Co-Lead Arranger (as defined in the Third Amendment) ~~and~~, Fourth Amendment Arranger and Fifth Amendment Arranger, each Credit Party and each Related Party of each Arranger, First Amendment Arranger, Third Amendment Co-Lead Arranger (as defined in the Third Amendment) ~~and~~, Fourth Amendment Arranger and Fifth Amendment Arranger and each Credit Party (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnitees (unless a conflict exists, in which case, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of reasonably necessary additional counsel for the affected Indemnitees shall be covered), but excluding Taxes which are governed by Section 3.7, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof including any refusal of the Issuing Bank 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 owned or operated by ~~the Parent,~~ the Borrower or any

119

of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to ~~the Parent,~~ the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or (iv) any other actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or, in the case of clause (iv) immediately above, to have resulted from a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents. Each Indemnitee shall endeavor to give prompt notice to the Borrower of any claim against such Indemnitee that may give rise to an indemnification claim against the Borrower under this Section 10.3, provided however that such Indemnitee shall have no liability to the Borrower for such the failure to give any such notice.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the product of such unpaid amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Lender’s Total Credit Exposure and the denominator of which is the aggregate Total Credit Exposure of all Lenders (in each case determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought or, in the event that no Lender shall have any Total Credit Exposure at such time, as of the last time at which any Lender had a Total Credit Exposure), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, an amount equal to the product of such unpaid amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus the unused portion of its Revolving Commitment and the denominator of which is the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders plus the aggregate unused amount of all Revolving Commitments (in each case determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought or, in the event that no Revolving Lender shall have any Revolving Credit Exposure or unused Revolving Commitment at such time, as of the last time at which any Revolving Lender had any Revolving Credit Exposure or unused Revolving Commitment), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly but in no event later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.

120

Section 10.4. Successors and Assigns

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (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 paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) 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 assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and obligations in respect of its LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure 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 Commitments and the Loans and obligations in respect of its LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure at the time owing to it 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 paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable 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 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 $2,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a revolving facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a term facility, unless the Administrative Agent consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower consents (in its sole discretion).

(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 Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among such Loans or Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

121

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 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 in respect of (i) an unfunded or revolving facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) a funded term facility to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consent of the Issuing Bank (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) and the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the revolving facility.

(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 of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, provided that assignments made by any Co-Lead Arranger or its Affiliate in connection with the initial syndication of the Term B Loans shall not be subject to such recordation fee.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Parties. No such assignment shall be made to any Loan Party, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the 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 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 10.3 with respect to claims arising from facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement

122

that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Loan Party, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates) (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 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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, modification or waiver described in the first proviso in Section 10.2(b) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11(c) 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 Borrower, 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 of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, 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, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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

123

avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as 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 Sections 3.5 or 3.7 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.7 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.7(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.5. Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any LC Disbursement or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 10.3, 10.9, 10.10 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the LC Disbursements, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.6. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any Credit Party constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic photocopy (i.e., “pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

124

Section 10.7. Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).

Section 10.8. Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender and Affiliate agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have.

Section 10.9. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEE

Section 11.1. Guarantee; Fraudulent Transfer, Etc.; Contribution

(a) Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations (other than Obligations which constitute Excluded Swap Obligations). Each Guarantor further

129

agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

(b) Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person.

(c) Fraudulent Transfer. Anything in this Article 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer, obligation or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (A) in respect of intercompany debt owed or owing to the ~~Parent~~Borrower or Affiliates of the ~~Parent~~Borrower to the extent that such debt would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and (B) under any Guarantee of senior unsecured debt or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, which Guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this clause (i), pursuant to which the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (I) applicable law or (II) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under guarantees by such parties (including the agreements described in Section 11.1(d)) and (ii) the ~~Parent~~Borrower expressly subordinates any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim that it may now or hereafter have against ~~the Borrower,~~ any ~~other~~ Loan Party, any other guarantor or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations, or against or with respect to the property of ~~the Borrower, such~~any other Loan Party, such other guarantor or such other Person, arising from the existence or performance hereof, including, but not limited to, in the event that any money or property shall be transferred to any Credit Party by the ~~Parent~~Borrower pursuant to this Article 11 in reduction of the Obligations or otherwise.

(d) Contributions. In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to this paragraph), the Borrower agrees that (i) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payments shall have been made to the extent of such payment, and (ii) in the event that any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy any

130

claim of any Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold. Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor”) agrees (subject to this paragraph) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or assets of any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party and such other Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in this paragraph, the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as applicable, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 11.9, the date of the Guarantee Supplement executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor). Any Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph to the extent of such payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph to the contrary, all rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this paragraph and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required by this paragraph (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its obligations under this paragraph, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph.

Section 11.2. Obligations Not Waived

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to any Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Article 11, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Article 11, (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or (iv) any other circumstance that would constitute a surety defense (other than payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations).

Section 11.3. Security

Each Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to (i) take and hold security for the payment of the obligations under the provisions of this Article 11 pursuant to the Security Documents and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security,

131

(ii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof in accordance with the Loan Documents and (iii) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other Guarantors or other obligors.

Section 11.4. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

Section 11.5. Defenses of Borrower Waived

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, as applicable, or any security.

Section 11.6. Agreement to Pay; Subordination

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation (other than Excluded Swap Obligations) when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment

132

by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the applicable Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. In addition, any debt or Lien of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment and priority to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the Liens created under the Loan Documents (provided that, payments on such debt may be made at any time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such debt of the Borrower or such other Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.7. Information

Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 11.8. Termination

(a) The guarantees made hereunder (i) shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have expired and all LC Disbursements have been reimbursed, and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend or otherwise extend credit under this Agreement and (ii) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise.

(b) If any Equity Interest in any Subsidiary Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall no longer be a Subsidiary, then the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 11 shall be automatically released.

Section 11.9. Additional Guarantors

Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of a Guarantee Supplement, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Guarantee Supplement shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

133

Section 11.10. Keepwell

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its Guarantee obligations under this Article 11 in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.10, or its Guarantee obligations under this Article 11, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations under this Article 11 terminate pursuant to Section 11.8. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.10 constitute, and this Section 11.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
