Each Revolving Lender will make loans to Borrower on a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) from time to time and Borrower may repay such loans from time to time until the Termination Date in such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such aggregate amounts as Borrower may request from all Lenders; provided, that after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the Revolving Outstandings will not at any time exceed Borrowing Availability.

(c) Terms of Revolving Loan Commitment Increase. Each Incremental Facility consisting of a Revolving Loan Commitment Increase shall become part of, and have all of the terms and conditions applicable to (including, without limitation, in respect of pricing, repayments and maturity), the Revolving Loan Commitments for all purposes hereunder and under the Collateral Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral in all respects. Any up-front fees payable to Lenders participating in any Revolving Loan Commitment Increase shall be no more than 50 basis points higher than the average of the up-front fees paid to Lenders on the Closing Date with respect to Revolving Loan Commitments.

(e) Modifications to Agreement. Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Facility Effective Date”) of each Incremental Facility and the final allocation thereof. Each Lender and Additional Lender (as applicable) shall make its share of the Incremental Facility available under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, as applicable, giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.1.3, executed by Borrower, each Lender participating in such Incremental Facility, each Additional Lender participating in such Incremental Facility and Agent.

(f) Other Documents. As a condition precedent to any Incremental Facility, Borrower shall deliver to Agent such documents, opinions and certifications as Agent may reasonably request.

(g) Adjustment of Revolving Loans.

-25-

Facility, in consideration of the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit will be held by all Revolving Lenders (inclusive of Additional Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to such Revolving Loan Commitment Increase.

2.2. Loan Procedures.

2.2.1. Loan Types.

Each Loan shall be either a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, as Borrower shall specify in the related notice of borrowing or conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or 2.2.3. Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at the same time, provided that not more than five different Interest Periods shall exist among outstanding LIBOR Loans at any one time.

Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date of a proposed Revolving Loan borrowing, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall provide Agent at the office specified by Agent with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of such borrowing and, so long as Agent has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to such borrowing have not been satisfied, Agent shall pay over the funds received by Agent to Borrower on the requested borrowing date. The failure of a Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Loan (or its ratable share of any other credit extension or payment) required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Loan (or, as applicable, its ratable share of such other credit extension or payment), but neither any other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan (or its ratable share of any other credit extension or payment) required hereunder. Each borrowing shall be on a Business Day. Each Base Rate borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000, and each LIBOR borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of at least $100,000.

(a) Subject to Section 2.2.1, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Agent in accordance with clause (b) below, elect (i) as of any Business Day, to convert any Loans (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000) into Loans of the other type or (ii) as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000) for a new Interest Period; provided, that any conversion of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 3.5.

-26-

(b) Borrower shall give written or telephonic notice (followed in the case of any such telephonic notice immediately by written confirmation thereof) to Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation of LIBOR Loans not later than 12:00 noon New York time at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, specifying in each case in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice: (i) the proposed date of conversion or continuation; (ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued; (iii) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and (iv) in the case of conversion into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period therefor.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Loans, Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective on the last day of such Interest Period.

(d) Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a notice of conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 or, if no timely notice is provided by Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion.

2.2.4. Market Disruption Respecting LIBOR Loans.

If, at any time subsequent to the giving of a Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Agent by the Borrower with respect to any requested LIBOR Loan:

(a) the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest with respect to, or deposits are not available in sufficient amounts in the ordinary course of business at the rate determined hereunder to fund, a requested LIBOR Loan during the Interest Period selected;

(b) the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that the making or continuation of the requested LIBOR Loan by the applicable Lenders has been make impracticable by the occurrence of an event which materially adversely affects the London interbank market generally; or

(c) Agent is advised by Required Lenders by written notice (each, a “LIBOR Suspension Notice”), such notice to be received by Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the third Business day prior to the date of the requested borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be, that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to LIBOR Loans will not or does not represent the adequate cost to such Lenders or making or maintaining such LIBOR loan,

then (i) Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower as soon as possible after such determination or receipt of such LIBOR Suspension Notice, as the case may be, (ii) Borrower shall, within one Business Day after receipt of such notice and in replacement of the Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as applicable, previously given by Borrower, give the Agent a Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as applicable, which specifies borrowing of any other Loan or the conversion of the relevant LIBOR Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into any other Loan which would not be affected by the notice from the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2.4 and (iii) the right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Loans for the applicable request and for all subsequent requests shall be suspended until Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

-27-

In the event that Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to the maturing LIBOR Loans which were the subject of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, such maturing LIBOR Loans shall be converted on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into Base Rate Loans as if a valid replacement Conversion/Continuation Notice had been given to Agent by Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof. In the event Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Borrowing Notice with respect to a borrowing originally requested by way of a LIBOR Loan, then Borrower shall be deemed to have requested such borrowing as a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified in the original Borrowing Notice and, on the originally requested borrowing date, the applicable Lenders (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) shall make available the requested amount by way of a Base Rate Loan).

2.3. Letters of Credit.

2.3.1. Commitment.

At the request of Borrower, Issuing Lender will issue from time to time before the date which is 30 days prior to the Termination Date standby or commercial letters of credit for the account of Borrower or any Subsidiary and containing terms and conditions which are consistent with this Agreement and reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit”). After giving effect to each such issuance, (i) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) Revolving Outstandings will not at any time exceed Borrowing Availability. In addition, it is agreed and understood (x) that the Existing US Bank Letters of Credit shall be considered “Letters of Credit” for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (y) that U.S. Bank National Association shall be the Issuing Lender in respect of the Existing US Bank Letters of Credit for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) that Borrower will cause any Letters of Credit that are issued at Borrower’s request for the benefit of a Portfolio Company to also constitute a “Letter of Credit” under and as defined in the Intercompany Debt Documents between Borrower and such Portfolio Company.

2.3.2. Application.

Borrower shall give notice to Agent and Issuing Lender of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit on a Business Day which is at least ten Business Days (or such lesser number of days as Agent and Issuing Lender shall agree) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a Letter of Credit application in Issuing Lender’s form (or, as the case may be, in the form of application of the underlying letter of credit), duly executed by Borrower and in all respects satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Lender, together with such other documentation as Agent or Issuing Lender may request in support thereof, it being understood that each Letter of Credit application (or, as the case may be, form of application of underlying letter of credit) shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than 30 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date). So long as Issuing Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. Issuing Lender shall promptly advise Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any Letter of Credit application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Issuing Lender shall deliver to Agent upon its request a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender, together with such information related thereto as Agent may reasonably request.

-28-

2.3.3. Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse Issuing Lender for each payment or disbursement made by Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit honoring any demand for payment made thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made. Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit; provided, that the failure of Issuing Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect the rights of Issuing Lender or Lenders in any manner whatsoever. Any amount not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement (whether or not through the making of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.4) shall bear interest from the date of such payment or disbursement to the date that Issuing Lender is reimbursed by Borrower therefor, payable on demand, at the interest rate per annum from time to time in effect for Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans.

(b) Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, including (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent, Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit), (iii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document which Issuing Lender (or, as applicable, the issuer of any underlying letter of credit) has determined complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (or, if applicable, underlying letter of credit), even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof.

2.3.4. Participations in Letters of Credit.

(a) Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, and each other Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit and Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If Borrower does not pay any reimbursement obligation when due, then Borrower shall be deemed to have immediately requested that Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment make a Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to such reimbursement obligation. Agent shall promptly notify Lenders that have a Revolving Loan Commitment of such deemed request and, without the necessity of compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2.2 or 4.2, each such Lender shall make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. The proceeds of such Loan shall be paid over by Agent to Issuing Lender for the account of Borrower in satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations.

(b) If Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and (i) Borrower has not reimbursed Issuing Lender in full for such payment or disbursement in accordance with Section 2.3.3, (ii) a Revolving Loan may not be made pursuant to Section 2.3.4(a) or (iii) any reimbursement received by Issuing Lender from Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, each other Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the Obligations of Borrower under Section 2.3.3). Upon notice from Issuing Lender to Agent

-29-

that it has not received any such amount, Agent shall promptly notify each such other Lender thereof. To the extent any such Lender shall not have made such amount available to Agent by 2:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after 12:00 noon New York time on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to Agent for Issuing Lender’s account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (x) for the first 3 days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (y) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect for Revolving Loans. Any such Lender’s failure to make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that there is a Defaulting Lender having any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment, Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit, or increase or extend or otherwise amend any Letter of Credit, unless Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and to Agent with respect to the participation in such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Revolving Share of such Letter of Credit by such Defaulting Lender. To the extent that Borrower provides cash collateral to Agent in support of and in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Revolving Share in any Letter of Credit, it is agreed and understood that such provision of cash collateral shall constitute an arrangement satisfactory to Issuing Lender and Agent as contemplated by the preceding sentence.

2.4. Commitments Several.

The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.5. Certain Conditions.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Issuing Lender shall not have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, if an Event of Default or Default exists. In addition, if an Event of Default or Default exists, at the written election of Agent or Required Lenders Borrower shall not have the right to borrow any LIBOR Loans, to continue any existing Loans as LIBOR Loans at the end of the Interest Period therefor, or to convert any existing Loans into LIBOR Loans.

2.6. Loan Accounting.

2.6.1. Recordkeeping.

Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender, each repayment or conversion thereof and, in the case of each LIBOR Loan, the dates on which each Interest Period for such Loan shall begin and end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon.

-30-

2.6.2. Notes.

At the written request of any Lender, the Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of such Lender in a face principal amount equal to the sum of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Total Loan Commitment and payable in such amounts and on such dates as are set forth herein.

2.7. Interest.

2.7.1. Interest Rates.

Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full as follows: (a) at all times while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin corresponding to such Loan from time to time in effect; and (b) at all times while such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin for such Loan from time to time in effect; provided, that (i) at any time an Event of Default exists, the Applicable Margin shall be increased by the Default Rate (and, in the case of Obligations, other than Hedging Obligations and Banking Services Obligations, not subject to an Applicable Margin, such Obligations shall bear interest at the Base Rate with respect to Revolving Loans plus the Applicable Margin plus the Default Rate), and (ii) any such increases may thereafter be rescinded by Required Term Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (as applicable), notwithstanding Section 10.1. In no event shall interest payable by Borrower to Agent and Lenders hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, such provision shall be deemed modified to limit such interest to the maximum rate permitted under such law.

2.7.2. Interest Payment Dates.

Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and at maturity. Accrued interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period in excess of 3 months, on the last day of each 3-month interval of such Interest Period), upon a prepayment of such Loan in accordance with Section 2.10, and at maturity. After maturity and at any time an Event of Default exists, all accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand at the rates specified in Section 2.7.1.

2.7.3. Setting and Notice of LIBOR Rates.

The applicable LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by Agent, and notice thereof shall be given by Agent promptly to Borrower and each Lender. Each determination of the applicable LIBOR Rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. Agent shall, upon written request of Borrower or any Lender, deliver to Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by Agent in determining any applicable LIBOR Rate hereunder.

2.7.4. Computation of Interest.

Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the LIBOR Rate and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Base Rate. The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate.

-31-

2.8. Fees.

2.8.1. Commitment Fee.

For the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender according to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time), a Commitment Fee equal to 1.00% per annum of the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the average daily Revolving Outstandings. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which the Commitment Fee shall not have previously been paid. The Commitment Fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

2.8.2. Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender according to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time), a Letter of Credit Fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Loans multiplied by the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or such later date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated) for the period from the date of the issuance (with the date of issuance for the Existing US Bank Letters of Credit being deemed to be the date hereof) of each Letter of Credit (or the last day on which the Letter of Credit Fee was paid with respect thereto) to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated. Each Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(b) In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Lender, for its own account, (i) such fees and expenses as Issuing Lender customarily requires (or, as the case may be, is required to pay to the issuer of the letter of credit) in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations and (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee in the amount and at the times agreed to by Borrower and Issuing Lender (with each Issuing Lender that is a signatory hereto agreeing that no fronting fee charged by any such Issuing Lender signatory hereto shall exceed 0.25% per annum for any applicable Letter of Credit).

2.9. Commitment Reduction.

2.9.1. Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Revolving Loan Commitments.

Borrower may from time to time on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice received by Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments to an amount not less than the Revolving Outstandings. Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000. Concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments to zero, Borrower shall pay all interest on the Revolving Loans, all Commitment Fees and all Letter of Credit Fees and shall cash collateralize in full all Obligations arising with respect to the Letters of Credit in a manner acceptable to Agent.

2.9.2. Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments in Connection with Mandatory Prepayment.

On the date of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10.2(a), the Revolving Loan Commitments shall, to the extent elected by Borrower (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent elected by Agent or Required Revolving Lenders), be permanently reduced by the amount of such mandatory prepayment applied to prepay the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10.2(a).

-32-

2.9.3. All Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.

All reductions of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments pro rata among Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

2.10. Prepayment.

2.10.1. Voluntary Prepayment.

Borrower may from time to time, on at least one Business Day’s written notice in the form of Exhibit H or telephonic notice (followed immediately by written confirmation thereof in the form of Exhibit H) to Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) not later than 12:00 noon New York time on such day, prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part, in each case so long as (i) no Event of Default then exists, and (ii) there are no Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of such prepayment. Such notice to Agent shall specify the portion of the Term Loan to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment and the application of such prepayment shall be subject to Section 2.10.3. Any such partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000. All voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan made on or prior to October 27, 2012 in connection with a Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan.

2.10.2. Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) Borrower shall repay the Revolving Loans, until the balance thereof has been reduced to zero at the following times and in the following amounts:

(i) upon there being Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition, in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; and

(ii) concurrently with the receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of its equity securities (excluding (x) Net Cash Proceeds from equity issuances to the extent obtained in connection with, and applied toward the funding of, a Permitted Eligible Acquisition or a Permitted Ineligible Acquisition, and (y) Net Cash Proceeds from other equity issuances in an aggregate amount of up to $250,000 for each Fiscal Year), in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds.

(b) Borrower shall repay the Term Loan (with application to be made as set forth in Section 2.10.3) at the following times and in the following amounts:

(i) in the case of excess Net Cash Proceeds from a Disposition described in any of clause (a), (c) and (d) of the definition thereof that remain after application having first been made to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (if any) pursuant to Section 2.10.2(a)(i) above (the date of such application being a “Clause I Revolver Application Date” and the amount of Net Cash Proceeds remaining after such application being “Clause I Excess Proceeds”), to the extent such Clause I Excess Proceeds have not been reinvested by the applicable Portfolio Company or Subsidiary Outside Company (x) in assets that are useful to the business of the applicable Portfolio Company or Subsidiary Outside Company (in the case of a Disposition described in clause (a) of the definition thereof) or (y) to repair, replace or reconstruct the assets that were the subject of such Disposition (in the case of a Disposition described in clause (c) or (d) of the definition thereof), in each case within 180 days of such Clause I Revolver Application Date, in an amount equal to the balance of such remaining Clause I Excess Proceeds after the expiration of such 180-day reinvestment period;

-33-

(ii) in the case of excess Net Cash Proceeds from a Disposition described in clause (b) of the definition thereof that remain after application having first been made to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (if any) pursuant to Section 2.10.2(a)(i) above (the date of such application being a “Clause II Revolver Application Date” and the amount of Net Cash Proceeds remaining after such application being “Clause II Excess Proceeds”), to the extent such Clause II Excess Proceeds have not been either reinvested by Borrower pursuant to Investments permitted to be made by Borrower pursuant to any of clauses (a), (b), (c) and (i) of Section 7.11 or used to repay the Term Loan within 360 days of such Clause II Revolver Application Date, in an amount equal to the balance of such remaining Clause II Excess Proceeds after the expiration of such 360-day reinvestment period; and

(iii) in the case of excess Net Cash Proceeds from an issuance of equity securities that remain after application having first been made to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10.2(a)(ii) above, immediately following such prior application to the Revolving Loans and in an amount equal to the balance of such Net Cash Proceeds (provided, that the prepayment of the Term Loan provided for in this Section 2.10.2(b)(iii) shall not apply at a time when no Event of Default exists).

(c) Within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2012), Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year; provided, that such prepayment shall not apply to a Fiscal Year for which the Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio is less than 3.25:1.00 as of the last day of such Fiscal Year. Any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10.2(c) shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments) and second, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan.

(d) If on any day the Revolving Outstandings exceed Borrowing Availability, whether pursuant to a reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9.2 or otherwise, Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit in a manner acceptable to Agent, or do a combination of the foregoing, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

Borrower shall give written notice in the form of Exhibit H or telephonic notice (followed immediately by written confirmation thereof in the form of Exhibit H) to Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York time at least one Business Day prior to each mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10.2, and Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such notice.

2.10.3. All Prepayments.

(a) Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 3.5. All prepayments of a Loan shall be applied first to that portion of such Loan comprised of Base Rate Loans and then to that portion of such Loan comprised of LIBOR Loans, in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments of the Term Loan shall (subject to the following two sentences) be applied ratably among the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof and, with respect to remaining installments of the Term Loan, in the inverse order of maturity. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that while on the Closing Date TD is funding $181,000,000 of the Term Loan, TD is fronting all but $1,000,000 of such amount on behalf of other Persons that have committed to TD to become Term Lenders and TD intends to assign all but $1,000,000 of the Term Loan to such Persons that have committed to TD to become Term Lenders shortly following the Closing Date such that the remaining aggregate collective amount of the Term Loan held by TD and its Affiliates following such assignments shall not exceed $1,000,000. In the event that the aggregate collective amount of the Term Loan held by TD and its Affiliates shall exceed $1,000,000 on the date that is 30 days following the

-34-

Closing Date (any such amount of the Term Loan in excess of $1,000,000 held by TD or its Affiliates 30 days following the Closing Date, the “Excess TD Term Loan”), Borrower may (subject to (i) TD’s agreement, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions for voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in Section 2.10.1 and (iii) such voluntary prepayment being made within 60 days following the Closing Date) elect to make a voluntary prepayment in cash of up to $25,000,000 of the Excess TD Term Loan, with the entire amount of such voluntary prepayment of up to $25,000,000 to be applied to the Term Loan held by TD and its Affiliates at the time of such voluntary prepayment, rather than applied ratably among the Term Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Term Loan.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, with respect to any mandatory prepayment, each Term Lender may elect not to have such Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan prepaid in the case of a mandatory prepayment pursuant hereto by notice to Agent received not later 3:00 p.m. New York time one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment. The amount of any such prepayment which would have been applied to the portions of the Term Loan held by Term Lenders making the election pursuant to this clause (b) but for such elections shall be applied to the portions of the Term Loan held by Term Lenders not making such elections until such portions are paid in full, all otherwise in accordance with clause (a) above.

2.11. Repayment.

2.11.1. Revolving Loans.

The Revolving Loans shall be paid, for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, in full on the Termination Date.

2.11.2. Term Loan.

The Term Loan shall be paid, for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share thereof, in equal installments of $562,500 each on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing March 31, 2012.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

2.12. Payment.

2.12.1. Making and Settlement of Payments.

All payments of principal of or interest on the Notes, and of all fees, shall be made by Borrower to Agent without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim and in immediately available funds at the office specified by Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York time on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Agent on the following Business Day. Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all principal payments received in collected funds by Agent for the account of such Lender. On the first Business Day of each month (each, an “Interest Settlement Date”), Agent will notify each Lender in writing of the amount of such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of interest and fees on the Revolving Outstandings and Revolving Loan Commitments as of the end of the last day of the immediately preceding month. Provided that such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of interest and fees, in each instance, received by Agent for the immediately preceding month. It is agreed and understood that, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall of such Defaulting Lender against such Defaulting Lender’s respective share of any payments received from Borrower. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, all payments under Section 3.2 shall be made by Borrower directly to the Lender entitled thereto.

-35-

2.12.2. Application of Payments and Proceeds.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.10.1, Section 2.10.2 and Section 2.10.3, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.12.2(b) below, each payment of principal shall be applied to such Loans as Borrower shall direct by notice to be received by Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, as Agent shall determine in its discretion. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

(b) If an Acceleration Event or an Event of Default described in Section 8.1.1 shall have occurred and be continuing, notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Agent shall apply all or any part of payments in respect of the Obligations and proceeds of Collateral (including, without limitation, any distributions in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), in each case as received by Agent, to the payment of the Obligations in the following order:

(i) FIRST, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities due and owing to Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any other Obligations owing to Agent in respect of sums advanced by Agent (such sums not to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect, or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have been suspended or terminated, as in effect immediately prior to such suspension or termination and such sums not to be advanced by Agent after the Business Day, if any, upon which Required Lenders have directed Agent in writing not to make any further advances under this Section 2.12.2(b)(i)) to preserve or protect the Collateral or to preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral (whether or not such Obligations are then due and owing to Agent), until Paid in Full;

(ii) SECOND, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities due and owing to Lenders, pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full;

(iii) THIRD, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest due and owing to Revolving Lenders, pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full;

(iv) FOURTH, pro rata (A) to the payment of the principal balance of the Revolving Loans, pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full and (B) to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 8.2, pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full;

(v) FIFTH, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest due and owing to Term Lenders in respect of the Term Loans, pro rata based on each Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full;

(vi) SIXTH, pro rata (A) to the payment of the principal balance of the Term Loan, pro rata based on each Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full and (B) to the payment of all Hedging Obligations due and owing to any Lender or its Affiliates, pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s (or one of its Affiliate’s) share thereof, until Paid in Full;

-36-

(vii) SEVENTH, to the payment of all Banking Services Obligations due any owing to a Lender or its Affiliates, pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s (or one of its Affiliate’s) share thereof, until Paid in Full; and

(viii) EIGHTH, to the payment of all other Obligations owing to each Lender, pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, until Paid in Full.

Any amounts received by any Lender in conflict with this Section 2.12.2 shall be promptly turned over to Agent for application in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.12.2.

2.12.3. Payment Dates.

If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

2.12.4. Set-off.

Borrower agrees that Agent and each Lender and its Affiliates have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, Borrower agrees that at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of Borrower hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrower then or thereafter with Agent or such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any rights described in the preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Agent.

2.12.5. Proration of Payments.

If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of set-off or otherwise, on account of (a) principal of or interest on an Loan, but excluding (i) any payment pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.7 or 10.8 and (ii) payments of interest on any Base Rate Loan referred to in the last sentence of Section 3.4, or (b) its participation in any Letter of Credit) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on such Loans (or such participation) then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans or sub-participations in Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

Section 3. Yield Protection.

3.1. Taxes.

(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, withholdings, fines, penalties, interest, additions to tax or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by

-37-

any Lender’s overall net income or overall net profits (including franchise taxes imposed on any Lender in lieu of income taxes), in each case by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under which such Lender is organized, is otherwise resident for tax purposes or has a present or former connection (other than residency or a connection that would not have arisen but for entering into the Loan Documents, receiving any payments under or with respect to the Loan Documents, or enforcing any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents), (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which a Lender is resident for tax purposes (other than residency that would not have arisen but for entering into the Loan Documents, receiving any payments under or with respect to the Loan Documents, or enforcing any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents), (iii) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America (a “non-U.S. Lender”), any United States federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such non-U.S. Lender at the time such non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office, other than a designation made at the request of Borrower) or is attributable to such non-U.S. Lender’s failure or inability to comply with its obligations under Sections 3(c) or (d), (iv) in the case of any Lender that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC) (a “U.S. Lender”), any United States federal backup withholding taxes imposed on such Lender as a result of payments under this Agreement (other than any backup withholding taxes imposed as a result of a change in law) and (v) taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded items referred to herein as “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Agent for the account of Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by Agent or such Lender hereunder, Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower will, upon written demand therefor (together with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts), promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which Agent or such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(b) If Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.1, a distribution hereunder or under any Loan Document by Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by Borrower.

(c) Each Lender that (i) is a non-U.S. Lender and (ii) (A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 10.8.1 after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to Borrower and Agent one or more (as Borrower or Agent may reasonably request) complete and accurate original copies of Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Each non-U.S. Lender shall (to the extent legally entitled to do so) provide updated forms to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date any prior form provided under this Section 3.1 becomes

-38-

obsolete or expires, after the occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 3.1, or from time to time if requested by Borrower or Agent. Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph (any such taxes, together with such amounts described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 3.1(a), the “Excluded Taxes”). Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 to enable Borrower or Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, each non-U.S. Lender shall comply with any certification, documentation, information or other reporting necessary to establish an exemption from withholding under FATCA and shall provide any other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent sufficient for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such non-U.S. Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(e) Each Lender shall indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by Agent and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The agreements in this Section 3.1(e) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Agent.

(f) So long as no Event of Default then exists, if Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of a Tax for which an additional payment has been made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.1, then Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse Borrower for such amount (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Tax giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent or such Lender in collecting such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the written request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 3.1(f) shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person or to alter its ordinary and customary practices with respect to the administration of Taxes.

3.2. Increased Cost.

(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate pursuant to Section 2.7), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender; or (ii) shall impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans, its Note or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) above and (ii) is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan,

-39-

or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(b) If any Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities), shall be deemed to be a change in law for purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation for purposes of this Section 3.2 and for purposes of Section 3.4), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

3.3. Inadequate or Unfair Basis.

If Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate, then Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and Borrower thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) no Lender shall be under any obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

3.4. Change in Law.

If any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, would make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans,

-40-

then such Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan (but shall make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of LIBOR Loans or conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans by Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loans which would be made or converted into by such Lender at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a LIBOR Loan shall remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the Interest Period originally applicable to such LIBOR Loan absent such circumstances.

3.5. Funding Losses.

Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower will indemnify such Lender against any net loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan), as reasonably determined by such Lender, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan of such Lender on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4) or (b) any failure of Borrower to borrow, convert or continue any Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, conversion or continuation pursuant to this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 3.5, all determinations shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period.

3.6. Manner of Funding; Alternate Funding Offices.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it may determine at its sole discretion. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment to make any LIBOR Loan by causing any branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

3.7. Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section 3.3 or 3.4 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower and Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and such designation would not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

-41-

(b) If (i) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section 3.3 or 3.4, (ii) any Lender does not consent to any matter requiring its consent under Section 10.1 when the Required Lenders have otherwise consented to such matter or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the circumstances causing such status have not been cured or waived, then Borrower may within 90 days thereafter designate another bank which is acceptable to Agent and Issuing Lender in their reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s rights hereunder (provided, that there shall be a concurrent purchase of the Loans and rights of any other Lender that then falls within the scope of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3.7(b)), without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, any such Lenders, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to any such Lenders plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to any such Lenders and any other amounts payable to any such Lenders under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of any such Lenders hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), any such Lenders shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to any such Lenders prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrower hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder.

3.8. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival.

Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent.

The obligation of each Lender to make its Loans and of Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent:

4.1. Initial Credit Extension.

The obligation of the Term Lenders to make the Term Loan, the obligation of Revolving Lenders to make the initial Revolving Loans on or after the Closing Date, and the obligation of Issuing Lender to issue the initial Letter of Credit hereunder on or after the Closing Date (whichever first occurs) is, in addition to the conditions precedent specified in Section 4.2, subject to the following conditions precedent, each of which shall be satisfactory in all respects to Agent:

To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce Lenders to make Loans and to issue and participate in Letters of Credit hereunder, Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that, both before and after giving effect to the Related Transactions and, in addition, as of the Closing Date:

5.1. Organization.

Borrower is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; the Trust and each Subsidiary (other than Subsidiaries within a Portfolio Company that are not material to such Portfolio Company taken as a whole) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Prior to Agent’s receipt of a Purchase Notice, (a) there shall be no restriction on Agent or Revolving Lenders taking (or refraining from taking) any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral or taking (or refraining from taking) any other action or exercising (or refraining from exercising) any other remedy with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolver Debt, and neither Agent nor any Revolving Lender shall have any liability for any of the foregoing, (c) Revolving Lenders shall be free to assign, participate or otherwise transfer or dispose of their interests in the Revolver Debt, in each case subject to the purchase option provided for in this Section 8.3, without prior notice to, or consent of, any Term Lenders (it being understood that this Section 8.3 is solely a right of the Term Lenders to purchase the Revolver Debt if they so choose to deliver a Purchase Notice in accordance with this Section 8.3, and this Section 8.3 does not constitute a right of first refusal in favor of any Term Lender) and (d) Agent and Revolving Lenders may otherwise act with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolver Debt as if the purchase option in this Section 8.3 did not exist. In no event shall any Revolving Lender be deemed to be holding any Revolver Debt for the benefit of, on account of, or as an agent or fiduciary for any Term Lender.

8.3.2. Purchase Option Closing.

On the date specified by the applicable Term Lenders in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days, nor more than ten (10) Business Days, after the receipt by Agent of the Purchase Notice), the Revolving Lenders shall sell to the applicable Term Lenders, and the applicable Term Lenders shall purchase from the Revolving Lenders, the Revolver Debt.

8.3.3. Purchase Price.

Such purchase and sale of the Revolver Debt shall be made by execution and delivery by the applicable parties of an assignment agreement in accordance with the assignment provisions hereof. Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the applicable Term Lenders shall (i) pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, as the purchase price therefor the sum of the full amount (at par) of all of the Revolver Debt then outstanding and unpaid and (ii) furnish cash collateral to the Agent with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of such outstanding Letters of Credit. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted, without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Agent. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the applicable Term Lenders to Agent are received prior to 1:00 p.m. New York time.

8.3.4. Nature of Sale.

Such purchase and sale shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by Agent or any Revolving Lender as to the Revolver Debt or otherwise and without recourse to

-66-

Agent or any Revolving Lender, except for several (not joint) representations and warranties of the Revolving Lenders as to the following: (i) the amount of the Revolver Debt being purchased (including as to the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Revolver Debt, fees, costs and expenses thereof), (ii) that the applicable Revolving Lender owns the Revolver Debt free and clear of any liens created by it, and (iii) that the applicable Revolving Lender has the full right and power to assign its Revolver Debt and such assignment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such Revolving Lender.

The provisions of this Section 8.3 are solely as among, and for the exclusive benefit of, Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights, whether as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, of any of the provisions of this Section 8.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the enforcement of any or all of the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be considered enforcement as among Agent and the Lenders only, and shall not be considered an action against Borrower in any respect.

Section 9. Agent.

9.1. Appointment; Authorization.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

(b) Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of Lenders (according to their Pro Rata Shares) with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Agent in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in this Section 9, included Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to Issuing Lender.

9.2. Delegation of Duties.

Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

9.3. Limited Liability.

None of Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,

-67-

or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.

9.4. Reliance.

Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Term Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable hereunder, as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Term Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.

9.5. Notice of Default.

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.6. Credit Decision.

Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent heretofore, herewith or hereafter taken, including any review of the business and affairs of Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiaries and/or any legal or regulatory matters or proceedings that relate to or otherwise may impact any of Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, into any legal or regulatory matters or proceedings that relate to or otherwise may impact any of Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiaries), and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that

-68-

it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, as to any legal or regulatory matters or proceedings that relate to or otherwise may impact any of Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiaries). Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or the Trust or any Affiliate of Borrower or the Trust which may come into the possession of Agent.

9.7. Indemnification.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Legal Costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.7 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

9.8. Agent Individually.

TD and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower or the Trust and any Affiliate of Borrower or the Trust as though TD were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, TD or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower and the Trust or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Person) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), TD and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though TD were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include TD and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

9.9. Successor Agent.

Agent may resign as Agent at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, on behalf after consulting with Lenders and (so long as no Event of Default exists) Borrower, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its

-69-

appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

9.10. Collateral Matters.

Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by clause (d)(i) or (d)(iii) of Section 7.2 (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.1(b)). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10.

9.11. [Reserved.]

9.12. Lead Arrangers, Bookrunner, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent designated by Agent and Borrower shall have no duties or responsibilities, and such Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied responsibilities, duties or obligations shall be construed to exist with respect to any such Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10. Miscellaneous.

10.1. Waiver; Amendments.

No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (or any subordination and intercreditor agreement or other subordination provisions relating to any Subordinated Debt) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and approved by Lenders having aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall increase any Commitment (other than pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1.3 as in effect on the date hereof),

-70-

extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal of (except as set forth below) or interest on the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or reduce the principal amount of any Loan, without, in each case, the consent of each Lender affected thereby in addition to the approval of Required Lenders. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall decrease the amount or rate of interest on any Revolving Loan or fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to Revolving Loans (provided, that Required Revolving Lenders may rescind an imposition of default interest with respect to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.7.1) or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to Revolving Loans without, in each case, the consent of each Lender affected thereby in addition to the approval of Required Revolving Lenders (and without the need for consent from any Term Lender or Required Lenders), and no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall increase the rate of interest on any Revolving Loan or fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to Revolving Loans without the consent of Agent and Required Revolving Lenders (and without the need for approval by any Term Lenders or by Required Lenders).

No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall change any of the definitions of Availability, Combined Eligible Availability, Borrowing Availability or Required Revolving Lenders without, in each case, the consent of all Revolving Lenders (and without the need for consent from any Term Lenders or Required Lenders); provided, however, that (x) changes to the lending multiples contained in the definition of Availability may be approved with the consent of Required Revolving Lenders (instead of all Revolving Lenders) and (y) if any proposed action pursuant to this sentence would cause the amount of Borrowing Availability to be increased by more than 10% above the amount of Borrowing Availability in effect immediately prior to such proposed action, the consent of Required Term Lenders in addition to the requisite level of approval from Revolving Lenders shall be necessary in order for such proposed action to be taken. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall change the definition of Required Term Lenders without, in each case, the consent of all Term Lenders (and without the need for consent from any Revolving Lenders or Required Lenders). No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall release any party from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement or all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents, change the definition of Required Lenders, change any provision of this Section 10.1, amend the provisions of Section 2.12.1, Section 2.12.2, Section 8.2.2, Section 8.3 or Section 9.10, amend the definition of Defaulting Lender, or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect any amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case, the consent of all Lenders. The effect as an Event of Default of any event described in Section 8.1.1 may only be waived by the written concurrence of (i) in the case of any such Event of Default in respect of Revolver Debt, each Revolver Lender and (ii) in the case of any such Event of Default in respect of Term Debt, each Term Lender, and the effect as an Event of Default of any other event described in Section 8 may be waived by the written concurrence of Required Lenders. No provision of Section 9 or other provision of this Agreement affecting Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of Issuing Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Issuing Lender.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, it is agreed and understood that Defaulting Lenders shall have no voting rights hereunder, except that (i) no

-71-

Defaulting Lender’s Commitment amount may be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) the principal of any Loan owing to a Defaulting Lender may not be discounted or otherwise forgiven without the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Defaulting Lenders (and their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Outstandings and Term Loans, as applicable) shall be excluded from the determination of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders and Required Term Lenders, and shall not have voting rights with respect to any matters requiring the approval of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Term Lenders, all affected Lenders, all Revolving Lenders, all Term Lenders or all Lenders.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex II or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes of Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of Borrower, and Borrower shall hold Agent and each other Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance. Borrower and Lenders each hereby acknowledge that, from time to time, Agent may deliver information and notices to Lenders using the internet service “Intralinks”. Each of Borrower and each Lender hereby agree that Agent may, in its discretion, utilize Intralinks for such purpose.

10.3. Computations.

(a) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in this Agreement (including in Section 7.14 or any related definition) shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations (including pursuant to Section 7.14 and the related definitions, and with respect to the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense, or any consolidation or other accounting computation) hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; provided that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Section 7.14 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if Agent notifies Borrower that Required Lenders wish to amend Section 7.14 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and Required Lenders. The explicit qualification of terms or computations by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing.

(b) For all purposes of calculating Borrowing Availability and any financial tests hereunder, (i) the results of any Outside Companies shall be excluded in their entirety and (ii) the results of any Portfolio Companies that no longer constitute Subsidiaries of Borrower as of the applicable date of measurement shall be excluded in their entirety. In addition, for purposes of calculating the financing covenants set forth in Section 7.14 at any time when the balance of the Revolving Loans is zero or the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, if the amount included in Consolidated EBITDA that is attributable to any one Portfolio Company, or any group of Portfolio Companies operating in the same business industry, exceeds 40% with respect to Portfolio Companies other than American Furniture or Halo, or 35% with respect to American Furniture or Halo, then any such excess amounts shall be excluded from such amount of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of such calculations of the financial

-72-

covenants (provided, in addition, that such concentration limit shall be 35% instead of 40% with respect to Portfolio Companies arising after the Closing Date that were assigned a 35% concentration limit pursuant to the definition of Combined Eligible Availability).

10.4. Costs; Expenses.

Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Agent (including Legal Costs) in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of Collateral) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any proposed or actual amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents.

If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of the Revolving Commitments and termination of this Agreement.

10.6. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or any Lender

10.7. Nonliability of Lenders.

The relationship between Borrower on the one hand and Lenders and Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to Borrower. Neither Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations. Execution of this Agreement by Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which Borrower may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.

Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment (other than any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or, if less, the Revolving Loan Commitment or the principal amount of the Loan being assigned. Borrower and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the Lender to whom such interest is assigned; provided, that no such fee shall be payable in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 10.8.1 shall be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 10.8.2. Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three Business Days after notice thereof.

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met and the assignment has been recorded in the register pursuant to Section 10.8.1(c) below, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that

rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments retained by the assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it.

(c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Revolving Loan Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note (i) as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder) and (ii) to (w) an Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned (directly or indirectly) by such Lender or by its direct or indirect parent company, (x) its direct or indirect parent company, (y) to one or more other Lenders or (z) to a Approved Fund; provided, that unless and until any such assignment has been recorded in the registry described in Section 10.8.1(c) above, such assigning Lender shall act as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower and maintain a register with respect to all such assignments under this Section 10.8.1(d) similar to the registry provided for in Section 10.8.1(c).

10.8.2. Participations.

Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 10.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant and such Lender shall as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower maintain a register with respect to all participations similar to the one set forth in Section 10.8.1(c). Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 2.12.5. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).

10.9. Confidentiality.

Agent and each Lender agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Agent or such Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to them by Borrower and designated as confidential, except that Agent and each Lender may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Agent or such Lender or any of their Affiliates (including collateral managers of Lenders) in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 10.9 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Agent or such Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Agent’s or such Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency or investor of a Lender that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued or investment decisions with respect to such Lender; (g) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Agent or any Lender; (h) to a Person that is an investor or prospective investor in a Securitization that agrees that its access to information regarding Borrower and the Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments is solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in such Securitization and who agrees to treat such information as confidential; or (i) to a Person that is a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in a Securitization in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization. For purposes of this Section, “Securitization” means a public or private offering by a Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in part, by the Loans or the Revolving Loan Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

10.10. Captions.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

10.12. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement.

10.13. Severability.

10.14. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the fees described in Section 2.8.3) and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by Borrower of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of Agent or Lenders.

10.15. Successors; Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower, Lenders and Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lenders and Agent and the successors and assigns of Lenders and Agent. No other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

10.16. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

10.17. Forum Selection; Consent to Jurisdiction.

ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.

BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

-77-

10.18. Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
