such financial ratio or test is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which such calculation is being made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

(c) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test, Specified Transactions that have been made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the applicable Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which such calculation is being made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period and Total Assets shall be calculated after giving effect thereto. If since the beginning of any such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.04, then any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.

(d) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower (including the “run-rate” cost savings and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction that have been or are expected to be realized (“run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken or expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions), and any such adjustments included in the initial pro forma calculations shall continue to apply to subsequent calculations of such financial ratios or tests, including during any subsequent Test Periods in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized); provided, that, (i) such amounts are reasonably identifiable, and factually supportable, are projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from actions either taken or expected to be taken within twelve (12) months after the end of such Test Period in which such Specified Transaction occurred and, in each case, certified by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower, (ii) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this Section 1.04(d) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period and (iii) any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings and synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the final sentence of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.

(e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Total Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for purposes of actual compliance with Section 7.10 as of the end of any Test Period, the events described in Sections 1.04(b), (c) and (d) above that occurred subsequent to the end of the Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

(g) (i) Any pro forma calculation required at any time prior to June 30, 2015, shall be made assuming that compliance with the Total Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.10 for the Test Period ending on June 30, 2015, is required with respect to the most recent Test Period prior to such time and (ii) for the purposes of any calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDAR, Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Rental Expense, Consolidated Total Debt, Total Assets, Total Leverage Ratio, Total Gross Leverage Ratio or Total Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio, for any of the events described above that occur prior to the date on which financial statements have been delivered for the fiscal quarter ended on or about June 30, 2015, such calculation shall be made on a “Pro Forma Basis” and references herein to financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) shall be deemed to be a reference to the financial statements with respect to the Borrower for the fiscal quarter ended on or about March 31, 2015.

Section 1.05 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up for five (5)).

Section 1.06 References to Agreements and Laws. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to Organization Documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by any Loan Document; and (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law.

Borrowing the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided that all Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type.

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice (which may be given by telephone as provided below), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

Each telephonic notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c)(i) and Section 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of New Term Loans, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Borrowing of Refinancing Term Loans, a Borrowing of Replacement Revolving Loans, a conversion of New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the account of the Borrower to be credited with the proceeds of such Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans) or 2:00 p.m. (with respect to Base

Rate Loans) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c) A Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders, upon written notice to the Borrower, may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

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

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, 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 the date of any Borrowing.

(iii) The L/C Issuers shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the applicable L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(iv) Letters of credit outstanding under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement on the Closing Date, including those set forth on Schedule 2.03, shall be deemed issued under the Revolving Credit Facility on the Closing Date to the extent the applicable letter of credit issuer under such facility is an L/C Issuer under the Revolving Credit Facility.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a L/C Request and Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Request and Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Request and Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Request and Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof (such confirmation to be promptly provided by the Administrative Agent), then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the

account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer an unfunded risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than the date specified in such Letter of Credit (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(i) or (ii)), or (B) it has received notice (which shall be in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof (the date of notice, the “Honor Date”). Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day after the Honor Date, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, then the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing on or prior to 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the Honor Date and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the second or third Business Day after the Honor Date, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a)

for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be in writing.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the

date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued for its account and to repay each L/C Borrowing relating to any Letter of Credit issued for its account shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse the L/C Issuers from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, punitive, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the applicable L/C Issuer’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit issued for its account or the account of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as provided for herein and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit, L/C Request or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to special, punitive, indirect, consequential or

exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or material breach of its obligations or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuers shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 to a Revolving Credit Borrowing cannot then be met or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall promptly Cash Collateralize (x) in the case of clause (i), 100% and (y) in the case of clause (ii), 103%, in each case of the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (such Outstanding Amount to be determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be) or, in the case of clause (ii), provide a back-to-back letter of credit in a face amount at least equal to 103% of the then undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit from an issuer and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer in its sole discretion. Any Letter of Credit that is so Cash Collateralized or in respect of which such a back-to-back letter of credit shall have been issued shall be deemed no longer outstanding for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means (A) in the case of clause (ii) above, pledge and deposit with or deliver to the applicable L/C Issuer, as collateral for the L/C Obligations and (B) in all other cases to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer and, in the case of clause (B), the Administrative Agent (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in deposit accounts designated by the Administrative Agent and which are under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code), of the applicable L/C Issuer and, in the case of clause (B), in a Cash Collateral Account. If at any time the applicable L/C Issuer or, in the case of clause (B), the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than such L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent, as applicable, or claims of the depositary bank arising by operation of law or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount required by the first sentence of this Section 2.03(g), the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by such L/C Issuer and, in the case of clause (B), the Administrative Agent, pay to such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts designated by such L/C Issuer and, in the case of clause (B), the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (x) 100% or 103%, as applicable, of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that such L/C Issuer and, in the case of clause (B), the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds 100% or 103%, as applicable, of the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower.

(h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued equal to the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed from the date of issuance thereof on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees not related to the fronting fee and standard costs and charges are due and payable within five (5) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any L/C Request or Letter of Credit Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(l) Provisions Related to Maturing Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(g). Commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, if not previously determined the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Administrative Agent under the extended tranches and the L/C Commitments of each L/C Issuer shall be agreed with such L/C Issuer.

The L/C Issuers shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit with an expiration date beyond the Letter of Credit Termination Date unless it is satisfied there will be sufficient available Revolving Credit Commitments (or backstopping arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer have been made) to cover its exposure in respect thereof.

Section 2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in respect of the original Revolving Credit Facility entered into on the Effective Date (or during the Revolving Commitment Period in respect of any other Revolving Credit Facility established hereunder in respect of which the Swing Line Lender has agreed to act as Swing Line Lender) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided further that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an unfunded risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone as provided below. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (which may be given by telephone as provided below) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the account of the Borrower to be credited with the proceeds of such Swing Line Borrowing. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of such proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the

Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless participations therein are reallocated in accordance with Section 2.17(a) or the Swing Line Lender has otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Each such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02(a), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in such Swing Line Loan and each such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

(g) Provisions Related to Maturing Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date, then on the earliest occurring Maturity Date all then outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Line Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(l)), (i) there shall exist one or more tranches of sufficient unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swing Line Loans could be incurred pursuant to such Revolving Credit Commitments which will remain in

effect after the occurrence of such Maturity Date and (ii) the Swing Line Lender has agreed, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swing Line Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments, and such Swing Line Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest Maturity Date.

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Prepayment Notice”), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay one or more Classes or tranches of Loans made to the Borrower, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., (1) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. The Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, and, in the case of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment made by the Borrower shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of (and to be promptly disbursed to) the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or Section 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from (A) a refinancing of all of the Facilities, (B) issuance of New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Credit Commitments, which refinancing or issuance shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed or (C) the refinancing of all or a portion of the Facilities pursuant to a Permitted Refinancing, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds such aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(ii) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made in connection with any New Term Loans and/or Refinancing Term Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b).

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount (A) of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or (B) equal to the entire remaining amount of the Commitments of any Class and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any reallocations pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16), such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower or as required by the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from the issuance of New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Credit Commitments or a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which issuance or refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

(b) Mandatory. The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender of a given Class shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 on the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility associated with such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.15).

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 2.17 or Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments of any Class shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders on the effective date of such termination.

(d) Closing Date. If the Closing Date does not occur on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately and automatically terminate.

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) New Term Loans. In the event any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall be repaid in installments as set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement.

(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of all of its Swing Line Loans on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date of the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, subject to Section 2.04(g). In addition, the Borrower shall repay to the Swing Line Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earlier of the Latest Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments (or such earlier Maturity Date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Swing Line Lender terminates) and the first date after such Swing Line Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Credit Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) While any Event of Default set forth in Section 8.01(a) exists with respect to the payment of any principal, reimbursement obligations in respect of Unreimbursed Amounts, interest or fees, the Borrower shall pay interest on all such overdue amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j):

(a) Revolving Credit Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee (each, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee” and, collectively, the “Revolving Credit Commitment Fees”) equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fees shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for the applicable Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable (unless otherwise agreed by such Agent) for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Ticking Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a ticking fee of 0.30% per annum on the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender (the “Ticking Fee”), in effect from and including July 1, 2015 to but excluding the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the Commitment Termination Date (such earlier date, the “Ticking Fee Payment Date”). The Ticking Fee shall be due and payable in full on the Ticking Fee Payment Date.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.07(c), acting as a non-fiduciary agent solely for

purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

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

Section 2.12 Payments Generally.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue to the extent applicable.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall

not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any Default by such Lender hereunder.

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

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

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

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

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the

Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in clauses First through Last of Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise, and other than (x) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or Participant or (y) as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere herein, including, without limitation, as provided in or contemplated by Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 10.01) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records and maintain entries in the Register (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) At any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request (i) prior to the Latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Facility, (A) one or more increases to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (any such increase or new commitment, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (ii) the establishment of one or more term loan commitments (the “New Term Commitments”). Each New Revolving Credit Commitment and New

Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 individually and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent or such lesser amount if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the New Revolving Credit Commitments and New Term Commitments shall not exceed the Incremental Cap plus, (1) in the case of a New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Commitment that serves to effectively extend the maturity of any Revolving Credit Facility or New Term Loan Facility, an additional amount of New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or New Term Loan Facility, respectively, to be replaced with such New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Commitment, as applicable, (2) in the case of a New Revolving Commitment or New Term Commitment that effectively replaces any Revolving Credit Commitment simultaneously terminated or New Term Loan simultaneously repaid pursuant to Section 3.07, an additional amount of New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or New Term Loan Facility to be replaced with such New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Loan and (3) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) (in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and/or New Revolving Loans, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the relevant Revolving Credit Commitment) other than any such voluntary prepayment financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Revolving Credit Lender” or “New Term Lender,” as applicable) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments, as applicable, be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that (x) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Credit Commitment or a New Term Commitment (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Commitment) and (y) the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Person’s providing such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person. Such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) except, in the case of any New Term Commitment, as otherwise agreed by the New Term Lenders providing such New Term Commitments, no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments, as applicable, (2) after giving effect to the making of any New Term Loans or effectiveness of New Revolving Credit Commitments, the conditions set forth in Sections 4.03(a) (except, in the case of any New Term Commitment, as otherwise agreed by the New Term Lenders providing such New Term Commitments) and 4.03(c) shall be satisfied, (3) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.10 after giving Pro Forma Effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loans (and with respect to any New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Commitment, assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of Loans available under such New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Commitment) but without netting the cash proceeds of any borrowing (or deemed borrowing) under any New Revolving Credit Commitment or New Term Commitment, as applicable, (4) the New

Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Revolving Credit Lenders or New Term Lenders, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register, and each New Revolving Credit Lender and New Term Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 10.15, (5) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Commitments, if applicable, and (6) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Credit Commitments are effected through an increase to any existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans attributable to such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by such existing Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each such New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan of such Class and (c) each New Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to such New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in Section 2.02 and 2.05(a) of this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Any New Term Loans or New Revolving Credit Loans effected through the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments or term loan commitments made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated as a separate Class of New Term Loans or New Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Commitments of any Class are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Commitment of such Class (it being understood that any New Term Loan Facility may provide for delayed draw term loans to be made at a later date) and (ii) each New Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Commitment of such Class and the New Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class are effected through the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Revolving Credit Lender of such Class shall make its Commitment available to the Borrower (when borrowed, a “New Revolving Credit Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (ii) each New Revolving Credit Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and the New Revolving Credit Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (x) the Class of New Revolving Credit Commitments and the New Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class or the Class of New Term

Commitments and the New Term Lenders of such Class, as applicable, and (y) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Credit Lender with respect to an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, the respective interests in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by Section 2.14(b).

(e) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Commitments or the New Revolving Credit Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the New Term Lenders or New Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, providing such New Term Loans and New Term Commitments or such New Revolving Credit Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that:

(i) (x) the Maturity Date of any Class of New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the later of (1) one year following the Latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Loans at the time such Class of New Term Loans is established and (2) the Latest Maturity Date of any then outstanding New Term Loans and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans of any Class shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding New Term Loans (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of any then outstanding New Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence); provided that any such New Term Loans may amortize at a rate not to exceed 10.00% per annum, payable quarterly;

(ii) the Maturity Date of any Class of New Revolving Credit Commitments and New Revolving Credit Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the other then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments and will require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Latest Maturity Date of any then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments;

(iii) all material terms of any New Revolving Credit Commitments and New Revolving Credit Loans applicable prior to the Latest Maturity Date of any then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments shall be substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans other than as set forth in Section 2.14(e)(ii) or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise:

(A) the borrowing and repayment of Loans with respect to New Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments (except for (1) payments of fees (other than in respect of undrawn commitments) at different rates on New Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of any original Revolving Credit Commitments and (3) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (C) below)),

(B) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) and 2.04(g) to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments,

(C) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, New Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later Maturity Date than such Class;

(D) assignments and participations of New Revolving Credit Commitments and New Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the other Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans; and

(E) if the interest rate, or the commitment fee on the undrawn portion, of such New Revolving Credit Loans or New Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds that of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, then the interest rate (including with respect to Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding), or the commitment fee with respect to the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, will be increased to equal that of the New Revolving Credit Loans or New Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable;

(iv) any New Revolving Credit Commitments may constitute the same or a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Commitments from the Classes constituting the Revolving Credit Commitments prior to the Increased Amount Date; provided (A) notwithstanding the foregoing, all terms of any New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Revolving Credit Loans that are added to an existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans shall be identical to the terms of such existing Class and (B) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including New Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three (3) different Maturity Dates;

(v) all material terms of any New Term Loans applicable prior to the Latest Maturity Date of any then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments shall be substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, any then outstanding New Term Loans) other than as set forth in Section 2.14(e)(i) or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that such terms shall be acceptable if the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans (and, if applicable, any then outstanding New Term Loans) also receive the benefit of any terms that are more favorable to the New Term Lenders); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise:

(A) the New Term Loans (x) may contain mandatory prepayment provisions in respect of asset sales and casualty events, excess cash flow and the incurrence of indebtedness as determined by the Borrower and the lender(s) providing such New Term Loans; provided that such provisions shall (A) be substantially identical to the provisions applicable to any then outstanding New Term Loans and (B) provide for the application of such amounts to prepay outstanding New Term Loans prior to application to the Revolving Credit Facilities and (y) shall share ratably in right of such mandatory prepayments with any then outstanding New Term Loans; provided that such New Term Loans may, as the Borrower and the New Term Lenders may determine in their sole discretion, be afforded lesser payments;

(B) the yield applicable to the New Term Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the New Term Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Facility Agreement; provided, however, in the case of any New Term Loans that are secured equally and ratably with any then outstanding New Term Loans, that the yield applicable to such New Term Loans (after giving effect to all margin, interest rate floors, upfront fees or original issue discount payable (based on a four (4)-year average life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) with respect to such New Term Loans) shall not be greater than the yield with respect to any then outstanding New Term Loans (including any margin, interest rate floors, upfront fees or original issue discount paid and payable (based on a four (4)-year average life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) to the Lenders hereunder), plus 50 basis points per annum, unless the interest rate with respect to the then outstanding New Term is increased so as to cause the then applicable yield on the then outstanding New Term Loans (including any margin, interest rate floors, upfront fees or original issue discount paid and payable (based on a four (4)-year average life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) to the Lenders hereunder) to equal the yield then applicable to such New Term Loans minus 50 basis points (after giving effect to all margin, interest rate floors, upfront fees or original issue discount payable (based on a four (4)-year average life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) with respect to such New Term Loans); provided that customary arrangement, commitment, structuring, underwriting and any amendment fees paid or payable to the Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) or one or more arrangers of New Term Loans under this Section 2.14 shall be excluded; provided, further, that if any New Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than that applicable to any then outstanding New Term Loans, such excess amount shall be equated to interest margin to the extent an increase in any interest rate floor applicable to the then outstanding New Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin, other than as provided above) applicable to such outstanding New Term Loans shall be increased by such excess amount; and

(vi) the New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Credit Loans will rank pari passu in respect of security interests and right of payment with any then outstanding New Term Loans and existing Revolving Credit Loans; provided that such New Term Loans may be junior in respect of security interests or in right of payment with any then outstanding New Term Loans and existing Revolving Credit Loans to the extent that such New Term Loans are (A) subject to an intercreditor agreement and/or subordination agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) incurred pursuant to documentation separate from this Agreement.

(f) Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14 (including (x) the addition of mandatory prepayment provisions to Section 2.05 and (y) the addition of a “required revolving credit lender” voting mechanism and other similar provisions for the purpose of causing the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.10 of this Agreement to be for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders only), and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

(g) Subject to clause (e)(vii) above, the New Term Loans and the New Revolving Credit Loans and the New Term Commitments and the New Revolving Credit Commitments extended or established pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien granted by the Collateral Documents to secure the Secured Obligations continues to be valid and perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the extension or establishment of any such New Term Loans and New Revolving Credit Loans or any such New Term Commitments and New Revolving Credit Commitments.

Section 2.15 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 any Class of New Term Loans with a like Maturity Date or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such respective New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments) 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 New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the fees (other than fees on undrawn amounts) payable in respect of such New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s New Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original New 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 New Term Loans from the tranche of New Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Credit 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 fees (other than fees on undrawn amounts) and final Maturity Date (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) 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 (or terms not less favorable to existing Revolving Credit Lenders) as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the borrowing and payments (except for (A) payments of fees (other than fees on undrawn amounts) at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments of the earliest maturity), of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) and 2.04(g) to the extent addressing Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Revolving Credit

Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such tranche on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche with a later Maturity Date than such tranche, (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans thereunder shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the other Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans and (5) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any existing Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three (3) 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 the immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined between the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the New Term Loans of any New Term Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such New Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of New Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final Maturity Date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the New Term Loans extended thereby, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the New 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 New Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which New Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of New 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 New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such New Term Lenders or Revolving Credit 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 New Term Lenders or Revolving Credit 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 and (ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (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 (which shall be consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15)) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.13 and 10.01) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with 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 New 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 L/C Issuers and 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 Secured 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 New Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary 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 Section. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding non-extended Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. 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 by the Lenders 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 five (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, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the 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 Section 2.15.

Section 2.16 Refinancing/Replacement Facilities.

(a) Refinancing Term Loans.

(i) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of term loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund (collectively, “Refinance”) one or more Classes of New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and Revolving Credit Loans thereunder) under this Agreement; provided, that such Refinancing New Term Loans may not be in an amount greater than the New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments being Refinanced plus unpaid accrued interest, fees, expenses and premium (if any) thereon and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in

connection with the Refinancing Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(A) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class or Classes of New Term Loans being Refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans shall not have a final maturity before the Maturity Date of the New Term Loans and/or the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments being Refinanced;

(B) the Refinancing Term Loans shall have terms and conditions agreed to by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans, but shall be substantially the same as (or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to, the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans than) those applicable to the then outstanding New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date;

(C) the proceeds of any Refinancing Term Loans shall be applied substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof to the pro rata prepayment (and, as applicable, termination of Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Class or Classes of New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments being Refinanced hereunder;

(D) the Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall set forth the principal installment payment dates of the Refinancing Term Loans, which dates may be delayed to later dates than the corresponding scheduled principal installment payment dates of the New Term Loans being refinanced (with any such Refinancing of New Term Loans resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.07(a)); and

(E) the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall (i) enter into such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender) in order to ensure that the Refinancing Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Collateral Documents on a pari passu basis with the other Secured Obligations and (ii) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Assignee to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Lender”); provided any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Refinancing Term Loan Series”) of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the selection of Refinancing Term Lenders shall be subject to any consent that would be required pursuant to Section 10.07(b) hereof; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Refinancing Term Loan Series of Refinancing Term Loans made to the Borrower.

(iii) The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrower and the Refinancing Term Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (i) above. Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto. The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrower to effect the foregoing. Any Refinancing Term Loan made by a New Term Lender pursuant to a Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be deemed a “New Term Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and each Lender with a Refinancing Term Loan shall become a Lender with respect to such Refinancing Term Loans and all matters relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall there be New Term Loans (including Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than five different scheduled final maturity dates or shall there be more than five different “New Term Loan Facilities”.

(b) Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.

(i) The Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional revolving facilities providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”) which Refinances one or more Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments and/or New Term Loans under this Agreement; provided, that any such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments may not be in an aggregate principal amount greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or New Term Loans being Refinanced plus unpaid accrued interest, fees, expenses and premium (if any) thereon and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Replacement Revolving Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Credit Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than three Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(A) no Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment shall have a scheduled principal installment payment date or Commitment reduction or termination date prior to the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments being Refinanced or the Maturity Date for such New Term Loans being Refinanced, as the case may be;

(B) the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall have such interest rates, fees, discounts, premiums, optional prepayments and redemption terms as may be agreed among the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (provided such prepayment and redemption shall be on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with other then existing Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments requiring prepayments and/or redemptions);

(C) other than as provided in Section 2.16(b)(i)(B) above, Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terms and conditions agreed to by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, but shall be substantially the same as (or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to, the lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments than) those applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date;

(D) the proceeds of any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof to the pro rata prepayment and replacement (and termination of Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Class or Classes of New Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments being Refinanced hereunder; and

(E) the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall (i) enter into such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender) in order to ensure that the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and the Replacement Revolving Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Collateral Documents on a pari passu basis with the other Secured Obligations and (ii) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Assignee to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (a “Replacement Revolving Lender”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment and the selection of Replacement Revolving Lenders shall be subject to any consent that would be required pursuant to Section 10.07(b) hereof. Any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment made on any Replacement Revolving Credit Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Replacement Revolving Commitment Series”) of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Replacement Revolving Credit Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Replacement Revolving Commitment Series.

(iii) The Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrower, the Replacement Revolving Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Loans and any replacement L/C Issuer and/or replacement Swing Line Lender thereunder (a “Replacement Revolving Credit Amendment”) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (i) above. Each Replacement Revolving Credit Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto. The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and is hereby authorized to enter into such amendments with the Borrower to effect the foregoing. Any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment (and the Loans made thereunder) made by a Replacement Revolving Lender pursuant to a Replacement Revolving Credit Amendment shall be deemed a “Revolving Credit Commitment” and “Revolving Credit Loan”, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement and each Lender with a Replacement Revolving Loan shall become a Lender with respect to such Replacement Revolving Loans and all matters relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Replacement Revolving Loans, Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three (3) different scheduled final maturity dates or shall there be more than three different “Revolving Credit Facilities”.

(iv) On any Replacement Revolving Credit Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each of the Replacement Revolving Lenders with Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Class shall purchase from each of the other Lenders with Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof and in the applicable currencies, such interests in the Revolving Loans under such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such Refinancing as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Replacement Revolving Loans of such Class will be held by Replacement Revolving Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their Replacement Revolving Credit Percentages. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) to the extent relating to Letters of Credit which mature or expire after the Maturity Date of any then existing tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments but prior to the Maturity Date of any other then existing tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(g) to the extent relating to Swing Line Loans which mature after the Maturity Date of any then existing tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments but prior to the Maturity Date of any other then existing tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, all Swing Line Loans shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) of such Defaulting Lender:

(i) the Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), in each case, of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (a) the Outstanding Amount of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations (with the aggregate amount of such Lenders’ risk participations and funded participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans being deemed “held” by such Lender) may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (b) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the

proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than five (5) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the applicable L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), at its option, (1) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and the Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), as the case may be, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and/or the Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), (2) in the case of such Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), prepay (subject to clause (iii) below) in full the unreallocated portion thereof or (3) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in their reasonable discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender that was or is a Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until (subject to Section 2.17(d)) the Termination Date and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, to satisfy the obligations, if any, of such Revolving Credit Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower; fourth, to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; fifth, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them; sixth, to pay principal and unreimbursed payments made by the L/C Issuers pursuant to a Letter of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them; seventh, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders; eighth, on the Termination Date, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, after the Termination Date, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.03(i) or Section 2.09 (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided that in the case of a Defaulting Lender that was or is a Lender (x) to the extent that a portion of the Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17(a), the fees pursuant to Section 2.03(i) that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be

payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) cannot be so reallocated and is not Cash Collateralized, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, as their interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section).

(d) Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.17(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the total Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Letter of Credit participations pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Loan participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c) of the Revolving Credit Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon such Revolving Credit Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of each Revolving Credit Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Unless otherwise required by any applicable Law, any and all payments by or on account of any Loan Party to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender (which term shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01, include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender) under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. If any Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) in the case of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by or on account of the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) have been made, each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such withholdings or deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, the applicable withholding agent (if it is not the Administrative Agent) shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, the Borrower and the other Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording Taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document but excluding any such Taxes imposed upon a voluntary transfer of an Obligation by a Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender if such Taxes result from such Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender being organized, resident or engaged in business (other than a business arising (or being deemed to arise) solely as a result of the Loan Documents or any transactions or activities occurring pursuant thereto) in such jurisdiction (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). For the avoidance of doubt, “Other Taxes” shall not include any Excluded Taxes.

(c) The Borrower and the other Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or Lender and any Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01, and any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payment made by or on account of any Guarantor) payable by such Agent or such Lender, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor and submits the required written statement, but in no event earlier than ten (10) days before such Taxes are due and payable to the applicable Governmental Authority. If the Borrower reasonably believes that any Lender or Agent is entitled to receive a refund from the Governmental Authority to which such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were paid in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to such Lender or Agent, as applicable, by any Loan Party pursuant to or in respect of this Section 3.01, the Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the other Loan Parties) may notify (in writing) such Lender or Agent, as applicable, of the availability of such refund. Upon receipt of such notice, such Lender or Agent, as applicable, shall promptly apply for such refund unless, in the good faith judgment of the Lender or Agent, as applicable, applying for such refund would cause such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to suffer any material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided that nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit (other than with respect to any decision to pursue such refund) nor oblige any Lender or Agent to disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof (other than to the relevant Governmental Authority) or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. The Borrower shall reimburse such Lender or Agent, as applicable, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Agent incurred in pursuing such refund. If such Lender or Agent, as applicable, receives any such refund, it shall be governed by Section 3.01(d).

(d) If any Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund from the Governmental Authority to which such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were paid (whether received in cash or as an overpayment applied to a future Tax payment) in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been

paid to it by any Loan Party pursuant to or in respect of this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any interest, but only to the extent included in such refund by the applicable Governmental Authority) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party and to pay, without duplication, any interest and penalties imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority in respect of such returned amount in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(d), in no event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) the payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax Returns (or other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(e) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid the consequences of such event, including to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations with respect to such Loan or Letter of Credit to another of its offices, branches or affiliates; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of any Loan Party or Lender or the rights of the Lender or Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01.

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate), or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from any Taxes (other than (A) any Excluded Taxes, (B) Other Taxes or (C) Taxes covered by Section 3.01(a) but excluding reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall, without duplication, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and/or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a

percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations with respect to such Loan or Letter of Credit to another of its offices, branches or affiliates; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), Section 3.04(b) or Section 3.04(c).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, are, in each case deemed to have been adopted and to have taken effect after the Effective Date.

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

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

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any loss of margin.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of such Lender submitted to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.05 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim and that such Lender has determined to request such compensation; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” in Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 includes each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender and each Lender as a participant in a Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.03 hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another by such Lender shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

(d) If any Lender gives notice to a Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders of such Class of Loans are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans of such Class of Loans shall be automatically converted irrespective of whether such conversion results in greater than six (6) Interest Periods being outstanding under this Agreement, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans of the applicable Class and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments in respect of such Class.

128

continuation statements or other equivalent filings and (iii) except as to Collateral consisting of Material Real Property, to the extent that such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and the related insurer shall not have denied or disclaimed in writing that such losses are covered by such title insurance policy.

Section 8.02 Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

(c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;

provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Borrower, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized and the Commitments have automatically terminated as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article 3, but not including principal of or interest on any Loan) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to the payment in full of the Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and any L/C Issuer pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any distribution);

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article 3), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

129

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

Fifth, (i) to payment of (A) that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and (B) any Secured Hedge Obligations and the Cash Management Obligations then due and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, in each case, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth held by them;

Sixth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Secured Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no such Secured Obligations remain outstanding, delivered to the Borrower.

Section 8.04 Borrower’s Right to Cure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, but subject to Sections 8.04(b) and (c), for the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under any covenant set forth in Section 7.10 as of any date, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, apply the Net Cash Proceeds of a Permitted Equity Issuance (the “Cure Amount”) to increase Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDAR for and after the final day of the applicable fiscal quarter; provided that such Net Cash Proceeds (i) are actually received by the Borrower during the applicable fiscal quarter or on or prior to the tenth (10th) day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”) and (ii) do not exceed the maximum aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under Section 7.10 as of such date. The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDAR for one fiscal quarter shall be used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDAR for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter (it being understood that the full Cure Amount necessary to cure any covenant under Section 7.10 shall apply to the calculation of the covenant under Section 7.10). The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.04(a) may not be relied upon for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to the determination of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred under Section 7.10 and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness or Consolidated Total Debt) other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDAR referred to in the immediately preceding sentence

130

during the fiscal quarters in which such amount is included in Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDAR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, (A) upon receipt of the Cure Amount by the Borrower, the applicable covenant(s) in Section 7.10 shall be deemed satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with any covenant in such Section 7.10 and any Default or Event of Default related to any failure to comply with any covenant in such Section 7.10 shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents, and (B) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Intent to Cure prior to the Cure Expiration Date, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies under Section 8.02 (or under any other Loan Document) available during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with any covenant in such Section 7.10 until such failure is not cured pursuant to the Notice of Intent to Cure on or prior to the Cure Expiration Date.

(b) In each period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 8.04(a) is made.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The L/C Issuers shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and the L/C Issuers shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuers in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article 9 and in the definition of “Related Parties” included the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Agents, Arrangers or Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and/or a Hedge Bank or provider of Cash Management Obligations) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Agent, Arranger or Lender (i) for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by the Loan

131

Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (ii) to manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (iii) to take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents and (iv) except as may be otherwise specified in any Loan Document, to exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Loan Documents, applicable Law or otherwise, in each case, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 and Section 10.05 as though such sub-agents were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents and as if the term Administrative Agent included the “collateral agent” as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(d) Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any and all of the Collateral Documents together with such other documents as shall be necessary to give effect to the Lien on the Collateral contemplated by the other Collateral Documents, on its behalf. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder shall be entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent (i) is not assuming any obligation under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein and (ii) shall not have implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document, and each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in this or the immediately preceding sentence or in Section 9.03. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Any action taken by the Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where so required by Section 10.01, such greater proportion of Lenders) and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of the powers set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Holdings or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (including information that may be subject to

132

confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Arranger or Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied (or express) duties or obligations arising under the agency doctrine of any applicable Law or otherwise, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any action (or omit to take an action) or exercise any powers, except rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise (or refrain from exercising) as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action (or omit to take any action) that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws or if the Administrative Agent is not indemnified to its satisfaction; and

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

The Administrative Agent and the Agent-Related Persons shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or them (i)(A) under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents or (B) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances provided in Section 8.02 and 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, or willful misconduct; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default and stating it is a “notice of default” is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer; provided, further, that in the event the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders; it being understood that the failure to give such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the execution, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, (vi) the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (vii) the properties, books or records of any Loan Party, (viii) the

133

existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or (ix) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit usage or the component amounts thereof.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, experts or professional advisors. No Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents).

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent (other than Disqualified Institutions). The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Article 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and its Related Parties and to the Agent-Related Persons in any role or capacity, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Related Parties were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise against such sub-agent.

134

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent: Appointment of Successor. The Administrative Agent may at any time resign or, if it is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition thereof, be removed by the Borrower upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such resignation or removal to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after notice of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, then, (i) in the case of a resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing) or (ii) in the case of a removal of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective after such thirty-day period and (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any possessory Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly (and each Lender and each L/C Issuer will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph) other than its obligations under Section 10.08. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder, and made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender and L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking

135

action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, or otherwise, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers or to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or issuance of the Letters of Credit or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers. Except for documents expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come in to the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 9.08 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall (on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent):

(a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) on the date upon which all of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized or otherwise back-stopped (including by “grandfathering” into any future credit facilities), in each case, on terms reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion, or have expired or have been terminated, the Aggregate Commitments have expired or have been terminated (such date, the “Termination Date”), (ii) that is Disposed of as part of or in connection with, any Disposition permitted hereunder to any Person other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders required by Section 10.01, (iv) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below or (v) as expressly provided in the Collateral Documents;

(b) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.01(i), (p) or (u) (if and to the extent such Lien is of the same type as the Liens permitted by Section 7.01(i)) and to execute and deliver any requested intercreditor agreements with respect thereto;

(c) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur with respect to an entity that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Junior Financing unless and until each guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its guarantee with respect to such Junior Financing; and

(d) enter into subordination or intercreditor agreements or arrangements with respect to Indebtedness (or Liens securing such Indebtedness) that is required or permitted to be pari passu with or subordinated to the Obligations or Secured Obligations (or the Liens securing the Secured Obligations) pursuant to Section 7.03.

136

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.08 or enter into the arrangement described in clause (d) above. In each case as specified in this Section 9.08, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, deliver, upon the request of the applicable Loan Party, to such Loan Party or any designee of such Loan Party any certificates, powers or other physical collateral held by it and relating to such item of Collateral (but subject to the requirements of any applicable intercreditor agreement) and execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, subordinate any Lien in such item of Collateral, release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or execute and deliver the agreements described in clause (d) above, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.08; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that any such transaction has been consummated in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (a) to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents, (b) to enter into any applicable intercreditor agreement contemplated hereby and (c) to take any actions thereunder as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties to enter into any other intercreditor agreement reasonably required by the Loan Documents, and each Secured Party agrees to be bound by the terms of such intercreditor agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Secured Hedge Obligations or Cash Management Obligations except as set forth below.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) unless the Administrative Agent consents thereto, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Lenders and L/C Issuers in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

No Swap Contract will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender that is a counterparty thereto, and no agreement governing any Cash Management Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto, any rights in connection with the

137

management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Section 8.03 of this Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such counterparty or, in the case of Cash Management Obligations, such other Secured Party shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article 9, Section 2.13, Section 10.08, and Section 10.09 and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 9.13 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall be such Secured Party’s pro rata share (based on the amount of Obligations owing to such Secured Party relative to the aggregate amount of Obligations) of such liabilities, costs and expenses, (ii) except as set forth specifically herein, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to act in their sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (iii) except as specifically set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

Section 9.09 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and any other Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder, it being understood and agreed that each of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and all of the other benefits of this Article 9. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents nor the Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.

Section 9.10 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

138

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 9 and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Administrative Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent) that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Section 9.11 [Reserved].

Section 9.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or outstanding Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit outstandings and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or

139

other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender or L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

Section 9.13 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Lender, on a pro rata basis, based on its Aggregate Exposure Percentage, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Swing Line Lender and their respective Related Parties, to the extent that the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Swing Line Lender or their respective Related Parties shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party (including, without limitation, any amounts required to be reimbursed by a Loan Party pursuant to Section 10.04 but not so reimbursed by any such Loan Party, and not in lieu of such Loan Party’s obligation thereunder), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal, financial and other advisors) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including Taxes, interest and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) which may be imposed on, incurred by or on behalf of or asserted against the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Swing Line Lender or their respective Related Parties in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s, the applicable L/C Issuer’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or their respective Related Parties’, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any of their respective Related Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any of their respective Related Parties against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof; and provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any of their respective Related Parties against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

In addition, each Lender hereby severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties (to the extent required to be reimbursed by a Loan Party pursuant to Section 10.04 but not so reimbursed by any such Loan Party, and not in lieu of such Loan Party’s obligation thereunder)

140

promptly upon demand for such Lender’s pro rata share based on its Aggregate Exposure Percentage of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

Section 9.14 Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Secured Party to act as collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including (without limiting Section 6.12(d)(viii)) any deposit account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Secured Party, and may further authorize and direct such Secured Party to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to the Administrative Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.14 is intended to require the parties hereto to enter into any account control agreements not otherwise required hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any Secured Party that is appointed as a collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 9.05.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and (i) the Refinancing Term Lenders (and no other Lenders) of the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Series providing such Refinancing Term Loans in connection with any refinancing facilities permitted pursuant to Section 2.16(a) and (ii) the Replacement Revolving Lenders (and no other Lenders) providing the applicable Replacement Revolving Commitment Series in connection with any refinancing facilities permitted pursuant to Section 2.16(b).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, in the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner that would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then with the consent of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, the Borrower and the Lenders shall be permitted to amend the Agreement without the consent of the Non-Consenting Lenders to provide for (a) the termination of the Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender that is (x) a Revolving Credit Lender, (y) a New Term Lender or (z) both, at the election of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, (b) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Lenders (with the written consent thereof), so that the total Commitment after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the total Commitment immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (c) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial institutions or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full, at par, the outstanding Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 and other amounts owed to such Lender hereunder) immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (d) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be necessary to effect the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c).

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01 or any Loan Document, (a) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, (b) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision; (c) guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented or waived without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to (x) comply with local Law, (y) cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (z) cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (d) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent any other Lender, effect amendments to the schedules and/or the exhibits to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the Closing Date, if the Administrative Agent has reasonably determined that such amendments are appropriate or to account for

143

events or circumstances occurring after the Effective Date, which in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, would have been included if such events or circumstances had occurred prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 10.21 may be amended with the written consent solely of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or other electronic document or signature.

(c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Section 10.04 Attorney Costs and Expenses.

The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates and their and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, partners, counsel, agents, attorneys-in-fact, trustees and advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims and expenses (including Attorney Costs (which shall be limited to one (1) counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole and solely in the case of a conflict of interest among or between Indemnitees, one (1) additional counsel to all similarly affected Indemnitees taken as a whole, and if reasonably necessary, one (1) local counsel to such Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one (1) additional local counsel to all similarly affected Person, taken as a whole)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in each case, in any way relating to or

145

arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property or facility currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is instituted by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party) (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) have been determined in the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any of its Related Indemnitees) or a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee (or any of its Related Indemnitees) or (y) arise from claims of any of the Indemnitees solely against one (1) or more Indemnitees (other than claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Arranger or other Agent) that have not resulted from the action, inaction, participation or contribution of the Borrower, Holdings, the Sponsor or any Affiliates of the foregoing or any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives or advisors; provided further that Section 3.01 (instead of this Section 10.05) shall govern indemnities with respect to Taxes, except that Taxes representing losses, claims, damages, etc., with respect to a non-Tax claim shall be governed by this Section 10.05 (without duplication of Section 3.01). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Syndtrak, IntraLinks, the internet, email or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, in each case, except to the extent any such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee, nor shall any Indemnitee, any Sponsor or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent, or (without limitation of the Borrower’s obligations set forth above) if there is a final judgment against an Indemnitee, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Liability against such Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such claimed or threatened Indemnified Liability, (b) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such

146

Indemnitee and (c) includes customary confidentiality provisions reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be reimbursed within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor (together with reasonable backup documentation). The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the Termination Date. For purposes hereof, “Related Indemnitee” of an Indemnitee means (1) any Controlling Person or Controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective partners, directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled affiliates and (3) the respective agents, advisors or other representatives of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such Indemnitee, Controlling Person or such Controlled affiliate; provided that each reference to a Related Indemnitee in this sentence pertains to a Related Indemnitee involved in performing services under this Agreement and the Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in any such action, proceeding or investigation that any loss, claim, damage or liability of any Indemnitee has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any of its Related Indemnitees) or a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee (or any of its Related Indemnitees), such Indemnitee will repay such portion of the reimbursed amounts previously paid to such Indemnitee under this Section that is attributable to expenses incurred in relation to the act or omission of such Indemnitee which is the subject of such finding.

Section 10.06 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender (including any L/C Issuer) shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void (for the avoidance of doubt, any such transfer that occurs pursuant to a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 is permitted hereunder without any such consent), and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or Section 10.07(i), as the case may be, or

147

(iii) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any New Term Loans (provided, however, that concurrent assignments to or by Approved Funds will be treated as a single assignment for the purpose of meeting the minimum transfer requirements), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender (or, in respect of any Revolving Credit Facility, a Revolving Credit Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender (or, in respect of any Revolving Credit Facility, a Revolving Credit Lender) or an Approved Fund (but subject to clause (iv) below), each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) (in respect of the Borrower or Holdings only) or Section 8.01(g)(i) (in respect of the Borrower or Holdings only) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower consents to such assignment (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that (1) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Loans (other than to a Disqualified Institution) unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof and (2) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for any initial assignment of Commitments (other than to a Disqualified Institution) made by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to effect the primary syndication of the Commitments to Lenders identified to the Borrower and approved by the Borrower in writing on or before the Closing Date, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (iii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis, (iv) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) the parties (other than the Borrower unless its consent to such assignment is required hereunder) to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee (x) the Borrower shall not have an obligation to pay except as required in Section 3.07 and (y) may be waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) and (vi) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and

148

Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and shall continue to be bound by Section 10.08). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided that if the Borrower has previously issued an assigning Lender a Note, then the Borrower shall have no obligation to deliver a Note to the assignee Lender except upon the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note (or receipt by the Borrower of a certificate of loss including reasonably satisfactory indemnification provisions).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of its interests in the Loans, L/C Obligations, L/C Borrowings and amounts due under the Loan Documents as set forth in the Register and as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Arranger, any Agent, any Lender (solely with respect to such Lender’s interest) and any L/C Issuer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Credit Extensions and Obligations are intended to be treated as registered obligations for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. Any right or title in or to any Credit Extensions and Obligations (including with respect to the principal amount and any interest thereon) may only be assigned or otherwise transferred through the Register. This Section 10.07 shall be construed so that the Credit Extensions and Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) and any other related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(d) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower, Holdings or any Affiliate of the Borrower or Holdings or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s

149

rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the clauses (a) through (i) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein and in Sections 3.06 and 10.15 read as if a Participant was a Lender and that such documentation required thereunder shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the Administrative Agent) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b), and such Participant agrees to be bound by such Sections, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 10.15 (without limiting the participating Lender’s obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 10.15, it being understood that the documentation required to be provided by a participant under Section 10.15 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and Section 3.06. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (and the Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from the Borrower) shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 or Section 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.

(g) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein and in Sections 3.06 and 10.15), but (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement

150

(including its obligations under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 or Section 3.05), except to the extent that any entitlement to a greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 results from a change in law arising after the grant to such SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.07 regarding the Register and/or the Participant Register, as appropriate, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and, (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise (unless such trustee is an Eligible Assignee which has complied with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)).

(j) The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on any list of Competitors and Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Arrangers on or prior to March 25, 2015 (or any supplement thereto) for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including in approving or declining to approve a Person as an Eligible Assignee, executing and delivering any Assignment and Assumption, making any recording in the Register in respect of such Assignment and Assumption or otherwise, and shall have no liability of any kind to any Company Party or any Affiliate thereof, any Lender or any other Person if such list is incorrect or if any Person is incorrectly identified in such list (or any supplement thereto) as a Person to whom no assignment is to be made. If any assignment or participation under this Section 10.07 is made (i) to a Disqualified Institution, in each case without the Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under the terms of this Section 10.07, to any other Person without the Borrower’s consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to any New Term Loans and participations held by such Lender or participant as of such termination date (in the case of any participation in any New Term Loan, to be applied to such participation), (B) purchase such New Term Loans by paying the lesser of par or the same amount that such Lender paid to acquire such New Term Loans or (C) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) (it being understood and agreed that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid, and such Lender shall be deemed to have executed such Assignment and Assumption within one Business Day of a request that it

151

do so in the event that it has failed to do so within such period); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of par or the amount such Lender paid for such New Term 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), (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender under Section 3.05 if any Eurodollar Rate Loan owing to such Lender is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and (iii) such assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 10.07. Nothing in this Section 10.07(j) shall be deemed to prejudice any rights or remedies the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower would suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any of its obligations under Section 10.07 insofar as such Section relates to any assignment, participation or pledge to a Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent. Additionally, each Lender agrees that the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this Section 10.07(j) against such Lender with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm.

Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a need to know basis in connection with the Facility (collectively, the “Representatives”) (it being understood that (x) 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, (y) the applicable Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender shall be responsible for such Affiliates’ compliance with the terms of this Section 10.08 and (z) no disclosure shall be made by the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders or their respective Representatives to any Affiliates that are Disqualified Institutions), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender or their respective Affiliates, (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or required by a governmental authority (provided that the Agent, L/C Issuer, Lender or Affiliate that discloses any Information pursuant to clause (b) and this clause (c) shall (i) except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank or other applicable financial accountants or any governmental bank or other applicable financial authority exercising examination or regulatory approval, promptly provide the Borrower advance notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable Law and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Information so disclosed is afforded confidential treatment), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee (to the extent permitted hereunder) of or Participant in (other than, in each case, any Disqualified Institution), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (f) with the written consent of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08, (h) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Company Parties received by it from such L/C Issuer or Lender, as applicable), (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with such enforcement (in which case it shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Information so disclosed is afforded confidential treatment), (j) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, in each case, that is not a Disqualified Institution (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional

152

advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound in writing by the provisions of this Section 10.08 in favor of the Company Parties or by terms substantially similar to the terms of this Section 10.08) and (k) to the extent that such Information is received (or has been received) by such Agent, L/C Issuer, or Lender or its Affiliate from a third party that is not, to such Agent’s, L/C Issuer’s, Lender’s or Affiliate’s knowledge, as applicable, subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to the Sponsor, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party, any Affiliate of any Loan Party or any representative of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available (or is derived from such information) to any Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender prior to disclosure by such Loan Party, Affiliate or representative other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08. The obligations of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders under this Section 10.08 shall automatically terminate on the date that is two years following the Termination Date.

Section 10.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; 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 Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,

153

(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission (including portable document format) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Section 10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed to be a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.13 Survival. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions of Article 3 and Article 9 and Sections 10.04, 10.05, 10.08, 10.16 and 10.17 shall survive and remain in full force and effect following the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Termination Date, each Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.03(c).

Section 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

154

Section 10.15 Tax Forms. (a) Each Lender (which, for purposes of this Section 10.15 shall include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender) shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (A) to determine whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding Taxes, (B) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, such applicable withholding Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction (including, if applicable, any documentation necessary to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the proper rate of withholding under FATCA). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) to the extent it is qualified for any exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding Tax with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower, each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming the benefits of an applicable Tax treaty), W-8EXP or any successor thereto (relating to such Non-US Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax on specified payments to be made to such Non-US Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Non-US Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and/or such other forms and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Non-US Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax, including, if applicable, any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under FATCA and/or any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, and, in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, two (2) duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibits J-1, J-2, J-3 or J-4, as applicable (the “US Tax Certificate”) that establishes in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Non-US Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (C) a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (D) receiving any payment under any Loan Document that is effectively connected with a US trade or business;

(ii) each Non-US Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-US Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Non-US Lender, or where such Non-US Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Non-US Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed, properly completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Non-US Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with

155

respect to which such Non-US Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States federal withholding Tax and (B) two (2) duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Non-US Lender is required to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Non-US Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Non-US Lender, including any applicable US Tax Certificate; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender shall provide a US Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners (but only to the extent that such partners fail to do so); and

(iii) to the extent it is qualified for any exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding Tax with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower, each Lender that lends to the Borrower shall timely deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax or otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws and otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

(b) The applicable withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.

(c) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code that lends to the Borrower (each, a “US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously delivered form or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such US Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding Tax, or any successor form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if such US Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the applicable withholding agent may withhold from any payment to such US Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding or backup withholding Tax imposed by the Code and the Borrower shall not be liable for any additional amounts with respect to such withholding.

156

(d) From time to time, to the extent it is then qualified for any exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, each Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly and properly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Taxes in respect of payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any previously claimed exemption or reduction; provided, however that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the applicable withholding agent may withhold from any payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding or backup withholding Tax imposed by the Code and the Borrower shall not be liable for any additional amounts with respect to such withholding

(e) To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party may withhold from any payment to any Lender (including, for purposes of this Section 10.15, any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender), an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the obligations of any Loan Party under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party, within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority (whether or not correctly or legally incurred or asserted) (i) that are attributable to such Lender (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective) and (ii) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party under this Section 10.15. The agreements in this Section 10.15 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or release of any Loan Party, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.15, no Lender or Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation described in Section 10.15(a)(i) through (a)(iii) or Section 10.15(c) that it is not legally eligible to deliver or, in the case of any other documentation required under this Section 10.15, that would subject such Lender or Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Agent.
