WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) by and among Parent, Borrower, Cadet Merger Corporation and Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (the “Acquired Business”), dated March 9, 2011, the Acquired Business will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower (the “Acquisition”);

WHEREAS, in order to finance the Acquisition, to repay existing indebtedness and other long-term obligations of Parent and the Acquired Business and their respective Subsidiaries, as further defined below as the “Refinancing”, to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Acquisition, the Refinancing and the financing thereof and to provide ongoing working capital requirements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries following the Acquisition, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders enter into this Agreement and make the Loans provided for herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the terms defined in the preamble or recitals hereto shall have the meanings set forth therein, and the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“ABR”: for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar Loan with a one-month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.0%. For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by JPMCB as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by JPMCB in connection with extensions of credit to debtors); and “Federal Funds Effective Rate” shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms hereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. For purposes of this definition, the Eurodollar Rate shall be determined using the Eurodollar Rate as otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of Eurodollar Rate, except that (x) if a given day is a Business Day, such determination shall be made on such day (rather than two Business Days prior to the

commencement of an Interest Period) or (y) if a given day is not a Business Day, the Eurodollar Rate for such day shall be the rate determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to preceding clause (x) for the most recent Business Day preceding such day. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) in respect of any Term Loans that are ABR Loans, ABR shall at all times not be less than 2.25% and (ii) in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans, ABR shall at all times not be less than 2.00%.

(b) Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall, among other things, (i) be in such form requested by the Borrower as shall be acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion and (ii) have an expiry date occurring not later than the earlier of (w) 365 days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of a renewal or extension, 365 days after such renewal or extension) and (x) 15 Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one year periods (but not beyond the date that is 15 Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, except to the extent Cash Collateralized or backstopped (including as provided herein) pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lenders, in each case for all relevant period beyond the date that is 15 Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date).

Unless any of the events described in Section 9(f) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of clause (c) of this subsection shall apply) each Lender shall make the proceeds of its

Revolving Credit Loan available to JPMCB for the account of JPMCB at the office of JPMCB located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given.

Each Lender will immediately transfer to JPMCB, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof JPMCB will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(d) Whenever, at any time after JPMCB has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, JPMCB receives any payment on account thereof, JPMCB will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by JPMCB is required to be returned, such Lender will return to JPMCB any portion thereof previously distributed by JPMCB to it in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by JPMCB.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender (other than any Revolving Credit Loan made under any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9), (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan of such Lender (other than Extended Term Loans), in accordance with the applicable amortization schedule set forth in subsection 2.2 (or the then unpaid principal amount of such Term Loans, on the date that any or all of the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9), (iii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan under an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender on the respective maturity date applicable thereto (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9) and (iv) the then unpaid principal amount of any Extended Term Loan of such Lender, in accordance with the amortization schedule and maturity date applicable thereto (or the then unpaid principal amount of such Extended Term Loan, on the date that any or all of the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 4.7.

¹	Note: If Loans to be made on the Closing Date include Eurodollar Loans, Borrowing Notice must include indemnity agreement re: breakage costs.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 4.2(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.3 Conversion Options. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Working Days prior to the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the ABR Loans then outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Working Days prior to the proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor, and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested conversion date is not a Working Day, on the next succeeding Working Day. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this subsection 4.3, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event by 4:00 P.M., New York City time, notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) may be converted as provided herein, provided that partial conversions of Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and the aggregate principal amount of the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one Interest Period shall be at least $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

4.4 Changes of Commitment Amounts. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or, from time to time, reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments subject to the provisions of this subsection 4.4. To the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Revolving L/C Obligations then outstanding and the amounts available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then reduced, the Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment equal to such excess amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Revolving L/C Obligations then outstanding, and last, to Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit. Any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations then outstanding and by Cash Collateralization of any outstanding

Letter of Credit. Upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments any Letter of Credit then outstanding which has been so Cash Collateralized shall no longer be considered a “Letter of Credit”, as defined in subsection 1.1 and any L/C Participating Interests heretofore granted by the Issuing Lender to the Lenders in such Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated (subject to automatic reinstatement in the event that such Cash Collateral is returned and the Issuing Lender is not fully reimbursed for any such Revolving L/C Obligations) but the Letter of Credit fees payable under subsection 4.11 shall continue to accrue to the Issuing Lender (or, in the event of any such automatic reinstatement, as provided in subsection 4.11) with respect to such Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof.

(b) Interest accrued on the amount of any partial prepayment pursuant to this subsection 4.4 to the date of such partial prepayment shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of such partial prepayment. In the case of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, interest accrued on the amount of any prepayment relating thereto and any unpaid commitment fee accrued hereunder shall be paid on the date of such termination. Any such partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments.

4.5 Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least one Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of ABR Loans and two Working Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans and specifying the date and amount of prepayment; provided that Eurodollar Loans prepaid on other than the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto shall be prepaid subject to the provisions of subsection 4.16. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Accrued interest on any Notes or on the amount of any Loans paid in full pursuant to this subsection 4.5 shall be paid on the date of such prepayment. Accrued interest on the amount of any partial prepayment shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of such partial prepayment. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) $1,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the applicable Loans, as the case may be. Any amount prepaid on account of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Partial prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.5 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower.

(b) In the event of any prepayment of Term Loans made with the proceeds of any Indebtedness (other than proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) having a lower effective yield (taking into account applicable interest rate, including floors, original issue discount (“OID”) and fees, with OID and fees being equated to interest rate based on a four-year life to maturity) than the effective yield (taking into account applicable interest rate, including floors, OID and fees, with OID and fees being equated to interest rate based on a four-year life to maturity) for the Term Loans on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Term Loans a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under this subsection 4.5 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

4.6 Mandatory Prepayments . (a) In the event of any incurrence of Indebtedness by any Group Member (other than Indebtedness of any Group Member permitted to be issued under subsection 8.2 (other than with respect to any issuance of Senior Notes permitted under clause (h)

thereof)), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Indebtedness incurrence shall on the date of such Indebtedness incurrence be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in subsection 4.6(d).

(b) In the event of receipt by any Group Member of Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (in excess of $7,500,000 in the aggregate for all Asset Sales and Recovery Events per fiscal year) by any Group Member then, unless the Borrower exercises its Reinvestment Rights in respect thereof, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event shall on the date of such receipt be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in subsection 4.6(d); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in subsection 4.6(d).

(c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply toward the prepayment of the Term Loans the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow less (solely to the extent not funded by the proceeds of Indebtedness) (x) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.5 or subsection 4.23 made during such fiscal year (provided that with respect to any prepayment pursuant to subsection 4.23, the aggregate amount of such prepayment for purposes of this clause shall be the amount of the Borrower’s cash payment in respect of such prepayment) and (y) the aggregate amount of all optional repayments of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to subsection 4.5 made during such fiscal year that are accompanied by an equivalent permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in subsection 7.1, for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

(d) Partial prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.6 shall be applied first, to the next eight installments thereof scheduled to be paid in direct order, and second, to the remaining installments on a pro rata basis (other than the repayment to be made on the Term Loan Maturity Date); provided that prepayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.6, if not on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall, at the Borrower’s option, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be prepaid subject to the provisions of subsection 4.19 or such prepayment (after application to any ABR Loans, in the case of prepayments by the Borrower) shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral for such Eurodollar Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and thereafter shall be applied to the prepayment of the Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the respective Interest Periods for such Eurodollar Loans next ending most closely to the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds. After such application, unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any remaining interest earned on such Cash Collateral shall be paid to the Borrower.

(e) Except as set forth in subsection 4.19, all payments made under this subsection 4.6 will be without penalty or premium.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 4.6, if any Term Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (i) on the date of such prepayment, with respect to any prepayment under subsection 4.6(a) or (b) or (ii) at least one Business Day prior to the date of a prepayment under subsection 4.6(c) that it wishes to decline its share of such prepayment, such share (the “Declined Prepayment Amount”) shall be applied by the Borrower to the mandatory prepayment of the

Second Lien Loans in accordance with, and to the extent required by, subsection 4.5 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

(g) Upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date the Borrower shall, with respect to each then outstanding Letter of Credit, if any, either (i) cause such Letter of Credit to be cancelled without such Letter of Credit being drawn upon or (ii) collateralize the Revolving L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit with cash or a letter of credit issued by banks or a bank satisfactory to the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

4.7 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) ABR Loans shall bear interest for the period from and including the date thereof until maturity thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9(f) or, at the election of the Required Lenders if all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the Loans or Revolving L/C Obligations or (ii) any interest payable thereon, shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any overdue amount under the Loan Documents shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 9, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal or Revolving L/C Obligations, 2% above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection or (y) in the case of overdue interest, fees and other amounts, 2% above the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection for Revolving Credit Loans, in each case from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

4.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest in respect of ABR Loans at any time the ABR is calculated based on the Prime Rate and all fees hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366, as the case may be, day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans at any time the ABR is not calculated based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining the Eurodollar Rate.

4.9 Commitment Fees. (a) Subject to paragraph (b) of this subsection 4.9, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date on the sum of such Lender’s Available Revolving Credit Commitment outstanding from time to time, at the rate per annum for each day during the period for which payment is made equal to 0.50%.

(b) The commitment fee provided for in this subsection 4.9 shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

4.10 Certain Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a non-refundable agent’s fee in the amount and payable on such dates as is separately agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender as of the Closing Date (other than any Defaulting Lender), a ticking fee from and including July 22, 2011 to and including the Closing Date on the sum of such Lender’s commitment outstanding from time to time under the commitment letter in respect of the Facilities (which ticking fee may be shared by such Lender with one or more other Lenders as reflected in an allocation confirmation or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, subject to the performance by such other Lender of its obligations in respect of such allocation), at the rate per annum for each day during the period for which payment is made equal to 2.25% (it being understood that the ticking fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed during such period). The ticking fee payable pursuant to this clause (b) shall be payable on the Closing Date.

4.11 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) In lieu of any letter of credit commissions and fees provided for in any L/C Application relating to Letters of Credit (other than standard administrative, issuance, amendment and negotiation fees), the Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit fee, for the account of the Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders, (i) with respect to each Standby L/C, on the average outstanding amount available to be drawn under each Standby L/C at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans in effect at such time, whether or not there are any such Eurodollar Loans outstanding at such time, payable in arrears, on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (ii) with respect to each Commercial L/C, on the aggregate face amount of each Commercial L/C at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans in effect at such time, whether or not there are any such Eurodollar Loans outstanding at such time, payable on the date such Commercial L/C is issued.

In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) with respect to each Standby L/C, in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, a fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the average outstanding amount available to be drawn under such Standby L/C, solely for its own account as Issuing Lender of such Standby L/C and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein and (ii) with respect to each Commercial L/C, on the date such Commercial L/C is issued, a fee to equal to 0.125% on the aggregate face amount of such Commercial L/C, solely for its own account as Issuing Lender of such Commercial L/C and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein.

(b) In connection with any payment of fees pursuant to this subsection 4.11, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide to the Borrower a statement of any such fees so paid; provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide the Borrower with any such invoice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay such fees.

(c) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for any taxes, fees, charges, expenses or other costs as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

4.12 Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents, any Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated herein, or any unrelated transaction;

(ii) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, except where such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender; or

(iv) any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstances or happening constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

4.13 Assignments. No Participating Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit or any of its rights or duties hereunder shall be subdivided, assigned or transferred (other than in connection with a transfer of part or all of such Participating Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with subsection 11.6) without the prior written consent of the Issuing Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such consent may be given or withheld without the consent or agreement of any other Participating Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participating Lender may subparticipate its Participating Interest without obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuing Lender.

4.14 Participations. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.4 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

4.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period

with respect to (i) proposed Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans, (ii) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (iii) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, (b) the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for any Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders constituting the Required Lenders of maintaining their affected Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally or (c) dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any such Eurodollar Loan are not available to any of the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices’ interbank eurodollar market, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested Borrowing Date, the conversion date or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given, (i) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, into ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no ABR Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans.

4.16 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing of any Loan (other than Swing Line Loans) and each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee hereunder (other than as set forth in subsections 4.10 and 4.11) and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders entitled or obligated thereto. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (other than Swing Line Loans and other than as set forth in subsections 4.6, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19) shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders entitled thereto. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office located at 1111 Fannin Street, 8^th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments ratably to each Lender in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its relevant Commitment Percentage of the borrowing on such date available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in accordance with subsection 4.1 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal funds rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent, times (ii) the amount of such Lender’s relevant Commitment Percentage of such borrowing, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Lender’s relevant Commitment Percentage of such borrowing

shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 4.16(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s relevant Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower without prejudice to any rights which the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection 4.16(b) shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its ratable portion of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Borrowing Date.

(d) All payments and prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments as set forth in subsection 4.6 and other than prepayments as set forth in subsection 4.18 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 4.16 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower may (i) make prepayments of Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis in accordance with subsection 4.23, (ii) purchase Term Loans on a non pro rata basis in accordance with subsection 11.6 and (iii) extend the final maturity of Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with an Extension that is permitted under subsection 4.24 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension (x) shall constitute a payment or prepayment of any Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, for purposes of this subsection or (y) shall reduce the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due under subsection 2.2, except that the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due to a Lender of Extended Term Loans may be reduced to the extent provided pursuant to the express terms of the respective Extension Offer) without giving rise to any violation of this subsection or any other provision of this Agreement. Furthermore, the Borrower may take all actions contemplated by (A) subsection 4.23 in connection with the prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Loans, (B) subsection 4.24 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing, amortization and repayments or prepayments of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans) and (C) subsection 11.6 in connection with the purchase of Term Loans on a non pro rata basis and, in each case, such actions taken in accordance with subsection 4.23, 4.24 and 11.6, as applicable, shall be permitted hereunder, and the differing or non pro rata payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this subsection or any other provision of this Agreement.

4.17 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall, if required by law and if such Lender so requests, be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such request. To the extent that such affected Eurodollar Loans are converted into ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such

Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s ABR Loans. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this subsection 4.17 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).

4.18 Requirements of Law . (a) In the event that, at any time after the date hereof any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i) does or shall subject any Lender, Transferee or Issuing Lender to any taxes with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Eurodollar Loans or any Letter of Credit made by it or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) the imposition of, or change in the rate of, any taxes excluded from the definition of “Non-Excluded Taxes” pursuant to subsection 4.20(a));

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or, in the case of (i), to such Lender, Transferee or Issuing Lender) of converting, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or, in the case of (i), any Loans or issuing or participating Letters of Credit, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender, Transferee or Issuing Lender), on demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender, Transferee or Issuing Lender) on an after-tax basis for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) the imposition of, or change in the rate of, any taxes excluded from the definition of “Non-Excluded Taxes” pursuant to subsection 4.20(a)) which such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender, Transferee or Issuing Lender) deems to be material as determined by such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender, Transferee or Issuing Lender) with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or, in the case of (i), any Loans or issuing or participating Letters of Credit, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin (which Applicable Margin shall, with respect to Letters of Credit, be the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit ABR Loans).

(b) In the event that at any time after the date hereof any Change in Law with respect to any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall, in the opinion of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of the obligations of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s, the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may

be, to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to the Borrower of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection 4.18, within 15 days after demand by such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

(c) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 4.18, it shall promptly notify the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. If any Lender has notified the Borrower through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.18, the Borrower at any time thereafter may, upon at least two Working Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to subsection 4.19, prepay or convert into ABR Loans all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.18 or entitling a Lender to receive additional amounts under paragraph (a) or (c) of subsection 4.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs, reduction in payments, or payment of additional amounts resulting from such event (including endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office or any other lending office); provided, however, that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

(d) A certificate submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this subsection 4.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the outstanding Loans.

(e) The Borrower agrees that the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) and the provisions of each L/C Application providing for reimbursement or payment to the Issuing Lender in the event of the imposition or implementation of, or increase in, any reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement in respect of the Letter of Credit relating thereto shall apply equally to each Participating Lender in respect of its L/C Participating Interest in such Letter of Credit, as if the references in such paragraphs and provisions referred to, where applicable, such Participating Lender or any corporation controlling such Participating Lender.

4.19 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender, including, but not limited to any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Borrower in making a conversion of ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given notice in accordance with subsection 4.1 or in continuing Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of Interest Period, (c) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.1 or in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.3 or (d) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (any of the events referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d), a “Breakage Event”). In the case of a Breakage Event, such loss or expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender of (i) the cost of obtaining funds for the Eurocurrency Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the

period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period, but such loss or expense shall not, in any event, include any lost profit or loss of Applicable Margin. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

4.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, branch profit taxes, franchise taxes and other similar taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document); provided that, if any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement as if such withholding or deduction had not been made; provided further, however, that Non-Excluded Taxes shall not include any amounts (x) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f), (g), (h) or (i) of this subsection 4.20 or (y) that are taxes imposed by a Requirement of Law in effect (including FATCA) at the time (and, in the case of FATCA, including any future regulations of official interpretations thereof) a Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) that do not arise as a result of a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation or the operations of a Loan Party, except to the extent that such Non-U.S. Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding taxes under this subsection 4.20.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority if and to the extent required by applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof. If (i) a Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) a Loan Party fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other reasonably requested documentary evidence or (iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than in the case of (iii) any interest or penalties attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), the Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amounts and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii).

(d) If any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this subsection 4.20 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this subsection 4.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this subsection with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Non-Excluded Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 4.20(d), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 4.20(d) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection 4.20(d) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(e) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection 4.20(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Each Lender, Assignee and Participant that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America, or an estate or trust that is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the date on which such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time or time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent:

(i) two duly completed and signed copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (relating to such Non-U.S. Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), Form W-8ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying Internal Revenue Service forms, which together entitle such Non-U.S. Lender to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding tax on all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or successor and related applicable forms, as the case may be; or

(ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and that does not comply with the requirements of clause (i) hereof, (x) a statement in the form of the applicable Exhibit E (or such other form of statement as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time) to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or successor and related applicable form;

In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees (i) to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two further duly completed and signed copies of such Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI or such other Internal Revenue Service forms required to be delivered pursuant to this subsection 4.20, as the case may be, or successor and related applicable forms, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most recent form(s) previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations, and (ii) to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) if it is no longer able to deliver, or if it is required to withdraw or cancel, any form or statement previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection 4.20(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 4.20, a Non -U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection 4.20 that such Non -U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or as specified in the proceeding in the preceding paragraph, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Each Lender, Assignee and Participant that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall, on or before the date that such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from whom the related Participation was purchased), two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States back-up

withholding tax. Each such Lender, Assignee or Participant shall deliver further documentation in accordance with the previous sentence at the time(s) specified by subsection 4.20(g).

(j) The agreements in this subsection 4.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

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

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 4.9;

(b) the Aggregate Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to subsection 11.1), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification (i) which requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or (ii) increases or extends such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, reduces or excuses the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or Letter of Credit disbursements or postpones the scheduled date of payment as to such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swing Line Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Aggregate Revolving Credit Extensions of Credit and participations in Swing Line Loans plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 4.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to subsection 4.9 and subsection 4.11 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any

rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under subsection 4.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it has received assurances satisfactory to it that non-Defaulting Lenders will cover the related exposure and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection 4.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swing line Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.

4.22 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under subsection 4.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 4.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.18 or subsection 4.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under subsection 4.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 4.20, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (A) (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in Letters of Credit funded under subsection 3.6(b) and participations in Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in subsection 11.6(d) and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under subsection 4.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to subsection 4.20, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments

and (B) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (A) of this proviso, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.23 Prepayments Below Par. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including subsection 4.16(a) or 11.7(a)) or any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans to the Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this subsection 4.23, provided that (A) on the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and after giving effect to the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, no more than $50,000,000 shall be outstanding in Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans, (B) the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans are not used to make such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (C) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Term Lenders of a particular tranche on a pro rata basis, (D) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with each Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (1) stating that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (2) stating that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this subsection 4.23 has been satisfied and (3) specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and (E) the aggregate amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this subsection 4.23 (valued at the par amount thereof) shall not exceed 50% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans.

(b) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of any Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent). The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Loans to be prepaid, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid (the “Discount Range”), and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

(c) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of the Loans to be prepaid held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Loans to be prepaid specified by the Lenders in the applicable

Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the applicable discount for such Loans to be prepaid (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to subsection 4.23(b) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Voluntary Discounted Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Loans to be prepaid whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(d) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Loans to be prepaid (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(e) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (and not subject to subsection 4.19), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City Time, three Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. The par principal amount of each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied ratably to reduce the remaining installments of such Term Loans.

(f) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with subsection 4.23(c) above) established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(g) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, (A) upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw or modify its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) no Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice unless the terms of such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment have been modified by the Borrower after the date of such Lender Participation Notice.

(h) Nothing in this subsection 4.23 shall require the Borrower to undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

4.24 Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (x) subject to the provisions of subsections 3.3(d) and 3.7(e) to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and except as provided in subsections 3.3(d) and 3.7(e), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Revolving Credit Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined between the Borrower and set forth in the relevant

Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer until the maturity of such Term Loans, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest maturity date hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2 for periods prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, may not be increased, (v) the weighted average life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (x) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of subsection 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that (x) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (or, if less, the then aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loans) (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this subsection (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including subsection 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 and 4.16(a)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in

order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this subsection. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this subsection.

4.25 Incremental Facility. (a) The Borrower may from time to time amend this Agreement in order to provide to the Borrower additional revolving loan facilities (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) and additional term loan facilities and/or increased term loan commitments in respect of the Term Facility or any other existing term loan facility hereunder (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; together with any Incremental Revolving Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities and the Second Lien Incremental Facilities shall not exceed $500,000,000, (ii) each Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 and (iii) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of such date (determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the provision of such Incremental Facility and assuming, if such Incremental Facility is an Incremental Revolving Facility, such Incremental Revolving Facility is fully drawn as of such date) is less than or equal to 5.0 to 1.0. Each Incremental Facility will be secured and guaranteed with the other Facilities on a pari passu basis. Each Incremental Term Facility must have a weighted average life to maturity which is the same or longer than the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Facility and a final maturity no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Incremental Facilities will be entitled to prepayments and voting rights on the same basis as the comparable Facility unless the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice specifies a lesser treatment. Each Incremental Revolving Facility shall have the same terms as the Revolving Credit Facility. Other than amortization, pricing or maturity date, each Incremental Term Facility shall have the same terms as the Term Facility or such terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, provided that if the Applicable Margin (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility and any Eurodollar or ABR floor applicable to such Incremental Term Facility but excluding any ticking fees, arrangement fees and other fees not paid to the makers of such loans generally) relating to any Incremental Term Facility exceeds the Applicable Margin (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing the Term Facility, and any Eurodollar or ABR floor applicable to the Term Facility) relating to the Term Facility immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Term Facility by more than 0.25%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Term Facility shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margin (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility and any Eurodollar or ABR floor applicable to such Incremental Facility) relating to such Incremental Term Facility minus 0.25%. In the case of any Incremental Term Facility that increases the term loan commitments under the Term Facility or any other existing term loan facility, the manner in which such increase is implemented shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. An Incremental

Facility may be made available under this Agreement only if, after giving effect thereto and the use of proceeds thereof no Default or Event of Default exists.

(b) An Incremental Facility shall be made available hereunder upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of notice thereof executed by the Borrower. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend loans or commitments under an Incremental Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders other than the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Facility, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this subsection (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (it being understood that all references to “Borrowing Date” in subsection 6.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date). The proceeds of any Incremental Facility will be used only for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions permitted under subsection 8.7).

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to induce the Issuing Lender to issue, and the Participating Lenders to participate in, the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, on the date of each Loan made or Letter of Credit issued, that:

5.1 Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2011 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the twelve-month period ending on June 30, 2011 (the “Pro Forma Income Statement”) have each been prepared after giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date or the first day of such period, as applicable) to (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Income Statement were each prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made in light of the circumstances when made. As of the date of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any material obligation, contingent or otherwise, which was not reflected therein or in the notes thereto and which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) (i) The audited consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries at December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing, (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 and the related consolidated

statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal periods ended on such dates, (iii) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries at December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing and (iv) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, copies of each of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender (if disclosed in the SEC Filings, such statements are deemed furnished to Lenders), (A) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, fairly present in all material respects (except, with respect to interim reports, for normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes) the consolidated financial position of Parent and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal periods then ended and, in the case of the statements referred to in the foregoing clause (ii), the portion of the fiscal year through March 31, 2011 or June 30, 2011, as applicable, in each case, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as noted therein) and (B) in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv) above, to the knowledge of the Borrower, fairly present in all material respects (except, with respect to interim reports, for normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes) the consolidated financial position of the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal periods then ended and, in the case of the statements referred to in the foregoing clause (iv), the portion of the fiscal year through March 31, 2011 or June 30, 2011, as applicable, in each case, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as noted therein).

(c) No Change. Since December 31, 2010, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is a Person duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to possess such power and authority and such legal right would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law (including occupational safety and health, health care, pension, certificate of need, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, any so-called “Superfund” or “Superlien” law, or any applicable federal, state, local or other statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning, any Materials of Environmental Concern), except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3 Corporate Power; Authorization. (a) Each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and in case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) No consent or authorization of, or filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Person (including any Governmental Authority) is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance by any Loan Party, validity or

enforceability of this Agreement or any Loan Document to the extent that it is a party thereto, or the guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents and (iii) those consents, authorizations, filings and notices, the failure of which to obtain or make could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4 Enforceable Obligations. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto and each of such Loan Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document, the guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the use of proceeds of the Loans and of drawings under the Letters of Credit will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation applicable to or binding upon any Group Member or any of its properties or assets, which violations, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in the creation or imposition (or the obligation to create or impose) of any Lien (other than any Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Second Lien Loan Documents) on any of its or their respective properties or assets.

5.6 No Material Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or on Schedule 5.6, no litigation or investigation known to the Borrower through receipt of written notice or proceeding of or by any Governmental Authority or any other Person is pending against any Group Member, (a) with respect to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document, or with respect to the Loans made hereunder, or the use of proceeds thereof or (b) which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7 Investment Company Act. No Group Member is required to be registered as an “investment company” (as the quoted term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

5.8 Federal Regulation. No part of the proceeds of any of the Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board. No Group Member is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under said Regulation U.

5.9 No Default or Breach. Except as set forth in the SEC Filings made prior to the date hereof or on Schedule 5.9, no Group Member is in default or breach (i) in the payment or performance of any of its Contractual Obligations (other than Indebtedness) in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) under any condition, term or requirement of any FCC License or any order, award or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator binding upon or affecting it or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound or affected in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10 Taxes. Each Group Member has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on its tax returns or extension requests or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all

other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in the books of such Group Member), except any such taxes, fees or charges, the payment of which, or the failure to pay, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes, fees or other charges (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in the books of the applicable Group Member), except as to any such Taxes, fees or other charges, the payment of which, or the failure to pay, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.11 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, (a) the Subsidiaries of Parent listed on Schedule 5.11(a) constitute all of the Domestic Subsidiaries of Parent and (b) the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.11(b) constitute all of the Foreign Subsidiaries of Parent. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.11(a) identifies all of the Broadcast License Subsidiaries and the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

5.12 Ownership of Property; Liens; Licenses. (a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 8.3 hereof, each Group Member has good and marketable title to, or valid and subsisting leasehold interests in, all its real property used by such Group Member in the operation of its business, and good title to all its respective other owned property, except where the failure to have such title or interest would not have a Material Adverse Effect. All such real property and other owned property is free and clear of any Liens, other than Liens permitted by subsection 8.3.

(b) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.12 sets forth all FCC Licenses held by any Group Member (and the respective holders of such FCC Licenses) and all other licenses and permits issued by any Governmental Authority which are held by any Group Member that are in effect as of the Closing Date and are material to the business of the Group Members. Each of the foregoing FCC Licenses, and each other license or permit from a Governmental Authority that is material to the business of the Group Members, is valid and in full force and effect, and the Group Members are in compliance in all material respects with the terms and conditions thereof and any requirements under applicable FCC regulation.

5.13 Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by the Group Members does not infringe on the rights of any Person in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of any Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of insurance coverage, other contributions or liabilities associated with employee health and welfare benefit plans have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Group Member.

5.15 ERISA. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Loan Party and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and of the Code relating to Plans; (ii) no Reportable Event or non-exempt Prohibited Transaction has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan; (iii) there has been no determination that any Single Employer Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA); (iv) no Lien in favor of the PBGC or any Single Employer Plan has been imposed upon any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate that remains unsatisfied; (v) no Loan Party and no ERISA Affiliate has received from the PBGC or a plan administrator any notice relating to an intention to terminate any Single Employer Plan or to appoint a trustee to administer any Single Employer Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA; (vi) no Loan Party and no ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Withdrawal Liability that remains unsatisfied; and (vii) no Loan Party and no ERISA Affiliate has received any notice concerning the imposition of Withdrawal Liability or any determination that a Multiemployer Plan is, or is expected to be, Insolvent, in Reorganization, terminated or in “endangered” or “critical” status (within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA).

5.16 Environmental Matters. (a) Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or on Schedule 5.16, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Properties do not contain any Materials of Environmental Concern in concentrations which constitute a violation of, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except for failure to be in compliance that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No Group Member has received any written notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Borrower have knowledge that any such action is being contemplated, considered or threatened.

(d) There are no judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative actions pending or threatened under any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17 Disclosure. None of the written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information (other than projections, budgets or other estimates or forward-looking statements or information of a general economic or industry nature or reports or studies prepared by third parties that were not expressly commissioned by a Group Member (collectively, the “Projections”)), taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of any Group Member to the Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished prior to the Closing Date) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to Projections, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time such Projections were prepared, it being understood that Projections by their nature are uncertain and no assurance is given that the results reflected in such Projections will be achieved.

5.18 Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). In the case of the Pledged Stock that are Securities (as defined in the UCC) described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent (together with a properly completed and signed stock power or endorsement), and in the case of the other Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected under the relevant UCC by filing a UCC financing statement and described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 5.18 in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5.18, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by subsection 8.3 and, in the case of Collateral consisting of Pledged Stock, inchoate Liens arising by operation of law).

(b) Each of the Mortgages upon proper filing is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), and when the Mortgages are filed in the appropriate recording offices, each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected (if and to the extent perfection may be achieved by such filings) Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except that the security interest created in such real property and the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Liens permitted by subsection 8.3).

5.19 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the Transactions, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.

5.20 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on the Closing Date shall be used to finance, in part, the Acquisition, the Refinancing and to pay related fees and expenses in connection therewith. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans made after the Closing Date and the Swing Line Loans shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

5.21 Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each Group Member is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

6.1 Conditions to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit.

No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, cause the Borrower to have in effect, and maintain at all times until the Term Loan Maturity Date, interest rate Swap Agreements designed to protect the Borrower against fluctuations in interest rates, such that, at all times from such 90^th day after the Closing Date through the Term Loan Maturity Date, at least 25% of the Consolidated Term Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is either (a) subject to an interest rate Swap Agreement or (b) fixed-rate Indebtedness.

described in subsections 8.8 (with respect to the prepayment of any Senior Notes) or 8.15 if the Borrower is prohibited from engaging in such transaction.

(b) The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein, at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s investment therein as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Borrower.

Any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be valued at its fair market value at the time of such transfer, in each case as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Borrower.

SECTION 10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE ISSUING LENDER

10.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JPMCB as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and irrevocably authorizes JPMCB as Administrative Agent for such Lender to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may appoint any of its affiliates as its agent to perform the

functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder relating to the advancing of funds to the Borrower and distribution of funds to the Lenders and to perform such other related functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder as are reasonably incidental to such functions. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, except as otherwise provided in subsection 10.3.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Affiliates or Subsidiaries shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, the Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Loan Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations thereunder. The Administrative 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, any Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

10.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, electronic transmission, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation 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 the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where unanimous consent of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Loan Document in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

10.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law and (ii) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and participate in the Letters of Credit and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, financial condition, assets, liabilities, net assets, properties, results of operations, value, prospects and other condition or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably (determined at the time such indemnity is sought) according to the respective amounts of their respective Commitments (or, to the extent such Commitments have been terminated, according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and obligations, whether as Issuing Lender or a Participating Lender, with respect to Letters of Credit), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements contained in this subsection 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, any Note issued to it and any Letter of Credit issued by or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacities.

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as

100

Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) shall have occurred and be continuing) be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.10 Issuing Lender as Issuer of Letters of Credit. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the Issuing Lender, in its capacity as issuer of any Letter of Credit, in the same manner as such provisions are expressly stated to apply to the Administrative Agent.

10.11 No Other Agent Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as co-syndication agent, co-documentation agent, joint lead arranger or bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof or otherwise shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under any of the Loan Documents, except in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Amendments and Waivers. No Loan Document or any terms thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 11.1. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except pursuant to a document in writing entered into by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties that are party hereto or thereto, as applicable; provided, however, that:

(a) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) directly or indirectly release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or (ii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders;

(b) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Loan or scheduled installment of any Loan or reduce any scheduled installment of any Loan or reduce the principal amount thereof or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date, or reduce the rate (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the default rate provided in subsection 4.7(c) or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate) or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or change the method of calculating interest thereon, or reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any fee payable to the Lenders hereunder, or increase the amount of any Commitment

101

of any Lender without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 11.1 or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document without the consent of all Lenders, (iii) amend, modify or waive subsection 4.16(a) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or (iv) amend, modify or waive Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with respect to the priority of payments set forth therein, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, that any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders if such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification otherwise satisfies the requirements of this clause (b);

(c) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall amend subsection 3.3(d) without the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of the applicable maturing Revolving Credit Commitments (or if the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such maturing tranche have been cancelled the sum of (i) the L/C Participating Interests in the aggregate amount then available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit issued in respect of such maturing tranche and (ii) the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of Revolving L/C Obligations in respect of such maturing tranche);

(d) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 or subsection 4.21 without the written consent of the then Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent; and

(e) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent to incorporate the terms of any Incremental Facility or to establish an Extension permitted by subsection 4.24.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of subsection 8.1 (and any defined terms solely as used therein) or any other provision to any Loan Document that has been added solely for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Facility (as may be agreed between the Majority Revolving Lenders and the Borrower) shall require the written consent of the Majority Revolving Lenders (and only the Majority Revolving Lenders) and each Loan Party party hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Required Lenders may not, and nor shall the consent of the Required Lenders be needed to, amend, modify or waive any provision of subsection 8.1 (or any defined term as used therein) or any other provision to any Loan Document that has been added solely for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Facility (as may be agreed between the Majority Revolving Lenders and the Borrower).

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification described in this subsection 11.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon each Loan Party, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. No waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of any Letter of Credit shall extend the expiry date thereof without the written consent of the Participating Lenders. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other

Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this subsection 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, participations in Letters of Credit funded under subsection 3.6(b) and participations under Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (c) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in subsection 11.6(d) and (d) such assignee has consented to the Proposed Change and (ii) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (i) of this proviso, such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith. If the Proposed Change to which the Non-Consenting Lender withholds consent would reduce the Applicable Margin for the period on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall be required to pay such Non-Consenting Lender a 1% premium on the amount of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans in connection with any assignment thereof pursuant to this paragraph.

All amounts due under this subsection 11.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this subsection 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parent, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans, and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions or Lender Affiliates (other than a Disqualified Person or an Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund)) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any participating interest of such Lender in the Letters of Credit, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Loans or any other Obligation to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Loan to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan; provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof, as provided in subsection 11.7. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the limitations of, subsections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 with respect to its participation in the Letters of Credit and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred or (ii) the benefits of subsection 4.20 unless such Participant complies with subsections 4.20(f), 4.20(g), 4.20(h) and 4.20(i) as if it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan, Letter of Credit or Note is in registered form under Section 5f.103.1(c) of the U.S. Treasury

106

Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(i) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund;

(ii) the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lenders shall be required for an assignment of Term Loan only; and

(iii) the Borrower; provided that (A) (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund or (ii) if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless the Borrower has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof,

sell to any Eligible Assignee (an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and, with respect to the Letters of Credit, such Lender’s L/C Participating Interest, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (except as otherwise permitted by subsection 4.22 and subsection 11.1) and, to the extent their consent is required, the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below); provided that (A) each such sale pursuant to this subsection 11.6(c) of less than all of a Lender’s rights and obligations (I) to a Person which is not then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund shall be of Commitments and/or Loans of not less than $5,000,000 (or in the case of the Term Facility, $1,000,000) and (II) to a Person which is then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund may be in any amount and (B) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of subsection 4.20 hereof; provided, further that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Lender from selling participating interests in accordance with subsection 11.6(a) in all or any portion of its Loans (without duplication). For purposes of clause (A) of the first proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with the Commitments and Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20 and 11.5). Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this

107

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this subsection 11.6(c); provided that such designating Lender complies with subsection 4.20 and shall not be entitled to receive any greater amounts under this Agreement (including subsections 4.18 and 4.20) than the assigning Conduit Lender was entitled to receive immediately prior to such assignment in respect of the Loans subject to such assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including subsection 4.16(a) or 11.7(a)) or any other Loan Document, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and, with respect to the Letters of Credit, such Lender’s L/C Participating Interest to an Affiliated Lender; provided that any such assignment (other than any such assignment to an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (1) no Event of Default under Section 9(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing immediately before and after giving effect to such assignment, (2) after giving effect to such assignment and to all other assignments with all Affiliated Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding, (3) the Affiliated Lender shall execute a waiver in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that it shall have no right whatsoever so long as such Person is an Affiliated Lender (i) to vote as a Lender with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (it being understood that such interest will be deemed voted in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Affiliated Lender shall be permitted to vote as a Lender if such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action (A) requires the vote of all Lenders or all affected Lenders and all other Lenders or all other affected Lenders, as the case may be, have given their consent thereto, or (B) disproportionately affects such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders and (y) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall deprive any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder without consent of such Affiliated Lender, (ii) subject to subclause (i) of clause (3) of this paragraph, to otherwise vote as a Lender on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) to, in its capacity as a Lender, attend (or receive any notice of) any meeting, conference call or correspondence with the Administrative Agent or any Lender or receive any information from the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (iv) to receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to Lenders other than Affiliated Lenders or to challenge the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege or (v) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents (except with respect to rights expressly retained under subclause (i) of clause (3) of this paragraph), (4) each Affiliated Lender shall acknowledge and agree that the Loans owned by it shall be non-voting under sections 1126 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that any proceeding thereunder shall be instituted by or against any Group Member, or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing non-voting designation is deemed unenforceable for any reason, each Affiliated Lender shall vote in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any plan of reorganization proposes to treat the obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, (5) no Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Participating Interests shall be assigned to any Affiliated Lender; (6) any Loans assigned to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be cancelled promptly upon such assignment and (7) no proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans shall be used by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to purchase Term Loans.

108

For the purposes of this subsection 11.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a Disqualified Person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and as agent for the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, the principal amount of any Term Loans, Swing Line Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans owing to, and if such Lender has any Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the L/C Participating Interests owing to each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans or L/C Participating Interests recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender, an Assignee and any other party required to executed such Assignment and Assumption pursuant to this subsection 11.6, together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or to any pledgee referred to in subsection 11.6(g) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of subsection 11.15) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that no such information shall be provided by any Lender to any Disqualified Lender.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment (i) by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such lender in accordance with applicable law and (ii) by a Lender Affiliate which is a fund to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided that any transfer of Loans or Notes upon, or in lieu of, enforcement of or the exercise of remedies under any such pledge shall be treated as an assignment thereof which shall not be made without compliance with the requirements of this subsection 11.6.

109

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

(i) The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however (i) that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period forbearance and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit or limit the ability of any such Person to file claims against a Conduit Lender in connection with any such proceeding.

11.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including subsections 4.23, 4.24 and 11.6), if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans (other than payment of Swing Line Loans) or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s L/C Participating Interests, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s L/C Participating Interests, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans and/or L/C Participating Interests may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Borrower notice of any set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a) or Section 9(f), the Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being hereby waived by the Borrower, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, on account of the liabilities of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against the Borrower in any currency, whether arising hereunder, or otherwise, under any other Loan Document as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such liabilities and claims may be contingent or

110

unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Borrower promptly of any such setoff made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders when the Administrative Agent shall have received a signature page of this Agreement executed by the Borrower and the Lenders, or, in the case of any Lender, shall have received telephonic confirmation from such Lender stating that such Lender has executed counterparts of this Agreement or the signature pages hereto and sent the same to the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by e-mail or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.9 Integration. Except for matters set forth in the Fee Letter, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.10 GOVERNING LAW; NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DEFINITION OF “CLOSING DATE MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT” (AND WHETHER OR NOT A CLOSING DATE MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT HAS OCCURRED) SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS SUCH AS THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 11.6, NO OTHER PERSONS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT, BENEFIT, PRIORITY OR INTEREST UNDER, OR BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF, THIS AGREEMENT.

11.14 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent (a) to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf, perform the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and take any actions thereunder as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable to protect the interest of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) to enter into any other intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent on its behalf, perform such intercreditor agreement on its behalf and take any actions thereunder as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of such Intercreditor agreement.

11.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any pledgee referred to in subsection 11.6(g) or any direct or indirect counterparty to any swap agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its Affiliates or to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than in violation of this subsection 11.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender (it being understood that any rating agency to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e).

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

113

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

11.16 Usury Savings. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if and when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower. As used in this paragraph, the term “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

11.17 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.18 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and each other Loan Party in accordance with the Act.
