SECTION 2. Amount and Terms of Credit.

2.01 The Initial Term Loan Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, concurrently with the settlement of the transactions contemplated by the Closing Date Open Market Purchase Agreements and in satisfaction of the purchase price due from the Borrower thereunder to each Lender (or Affiliate of such Lender thereunder as specified on Schedule 1.01(a)), each Lender shall be deemed to make to the Borrower on the Closing Date, and the Borrower shall be deemed to issue to each Lender on the Closing Date, a term loan (each, an “Initial Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Term Loans”) in the principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Term Loans of such Lender (or Affiliate of such Lender as specified on Schedule 1.01(a)) purchased pursuant to the applicable Closing Date Open Market Purchase Agreement, which is set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 1.01(a), which Initial Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the Closing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars and (iii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided, that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Initial Term Loans shall at all times be of the same Type. Once repaid, Initial Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding that no cash is exchanged, the Borrower shall owe the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans to the Lenders under this Agreement.

2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Interest Periods. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at no time shall there be outstanding more seven (7) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans in the aggregate for all Term Loans.

2.03 Notice of Borrowing. When the Borrower desires to incur Term Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (i) at least three Business Days’ prior notice thereof in the case of LIBOR Loans and (ii) at least one Business Day’s prior notice thereof in the case of Base Rate Loans; provided, that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) on such day. Such notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (B) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (C) whether the Term Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (D) in the case of a borrowing of Term Loans (other than Initial Term Loans), the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Term Loans are to be remitted. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

2.04 [Reserved].

-48-

2.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower to such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Term Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans. The entries made in its internal records and any notes by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (b) and by the Administrative Agent in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such records or any error in such records by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent in the Register shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans and pay interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and any Lender’s records, the Register of the Administrative Agent shall govern

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Term Loans to the Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to any Credit Document. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Term Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Term Loans, the Borrower shall reasonably promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Term Loans.

2.06 Conversions/Continuations. The Borrower shall have the option to convert (or continue), on any Business Day, all (but not less than all) of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Term Loan (or to continue all (but not less than all) of any LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan); provided, that except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans (or continued as LIBOR Loans with a new Interest Period) only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Term Loans being converted (or continued), (b) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBOR Loans if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the conversion, and (c) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans (or continuations of LIBOR Loans),

-49-

three Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request LIBOR Loans having an Interest Period of other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” (A) the applicable notice from the Borrower must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to them and (B) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period is available to the Lenders and (ii) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Term Loans to be so converted (or continued), the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into (or continued as) LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Term Loans.

2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their applicable Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Term Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder.

2.08 Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.08(c) below, Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08(c) below, Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) (i) On and after August 30, 2021 (the “PIK Increase Date”), the interest rate on the Term Loans shall be increased by 5.00% per annum (the “PIK Interest Rate”), which additional interest shall be paid in-kind on each Specified Interest Payment Date by being capitalized and added to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on such Specified Interest Payment Date (such interest, the “Additional PIK Interest”), and (ii) on the PIK Increase Date, the Borrower shall make a one-time payment to the Lenders on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to 7.50% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on such date, which amount shall be payable in-kind on the PIK Increase Date by being capitalized and added to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on the PIK Increase Date (the

-50-

“PIK Payment”). Upon payment of any Additional PIK Interest and/or PIK Payment, such Additional PIK Interest and/or PIK Payment shall be deemed to be principal of the Initial Term Loans, and shall accrue interest pursuant to the terms hereof, for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this clause (c), the Borrower may reduce the amount of the PIK Interest Rate and the PIK Payment by making (i) a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.01 on or before the PIK Increase Date in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $15,000,000 and (ii) up to two additional voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.01 on or before the PIK Increase Date in aggregate principal amounts of not less than $5,000,000 each (any such voluntary prepayment under clause (i) or (ii) collectively, a “PIK Increase Paydown” and, the aggregate amount thereof, the “Paydown Amount”). If the Borrower makes a PIK Increase Paydown on or before the PIK Increase Date, the amount of the PIK Interest Rate and amount of the PIK Payment shall be adjusted as set forth below based on the aggregate Paydown Amount set forth below.

(d) Overdue amounts of principal and interest on any Term Loan shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws), to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Term Loan, in the case of principal, and, in the case of interest, the rate then borne by the applicable Term Loan to which such interest relates. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(d) shall be payable on demand.

(e) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, (x) in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand (each such interest payment date specified in clause (i)(x) (in respect of Base Rate Loans) or clause (ii)(x) (in respect of LIBOR Loans) being referred to herein as a “Specified Interest Payment Date”).

(f) Upon each Interest Determination Date for a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

-51-

2.09 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, continuation as or conversion into any LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period, (y) to the extent agreed to by all Lenders with Term Loans, a twelve month period or (z) if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its discretion and each Lender with Term Loans, such other period not to exceed one-month; provided, that (in each case):

(a) all LIBOR Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(b) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing (or deemed Borrowing) of such LIBOR Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(e) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected (and therefore no LIBOR Loan may be continued and no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan) at any time when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Term Loans.

If by 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

-52-

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “LIBO Rate”; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of any change since the Closing Date (or the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, if later) in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (1) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate, or (2) any change subjecting any Recipient to any Taxes (except for Excluded Taxes and any Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any request from a Governmental Authority (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency, other than with respect to a tax matter not otherwise provided for in this Section 2.10, occurring after the Closing Date or since the date such Person becomes a Lender, if later, which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market generally;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice in writing to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall not be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, and stating that such Lender is charging such costs to its borrowers generally pursuant to its internal policies, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as reasonably possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

-53-

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided, that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date (or the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, if later) the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided, that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or 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 shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10).

(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes.

(e) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

-54-

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement, provided that any such Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent (and the Lenders hereby (A) authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any such amendment in which the Required Lenders are a signatory thereto and (B) acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of the exculpations, protections and indemnifications provided for in this Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent in executing and delivering any such amendment). In addition, the Administrative Agent shall not be bound to comply with, acknowledge or consent to any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other amendment to this Agreement or any Credit Document that would affect its rights, duties, privileges, protections, obligations or liabilities, or in such Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, otherwise adversely affect it. No replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, provided that any such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall be administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall not be bound to comply with, acknowledge or consent to any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other amendment to this Agreement or any Credit Document that would affect its rights, duties, privileges, protections, obligations or liabilities, or in such Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, otherwise adversely affect it.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Required Lenders will promptly notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(e), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(e). In the

-55-

event that the LIBO Rate is unavailable and the Administrative Agent has not been notified in writing of a Benchmark Replacement by the Required Lenders and the Borrower in accordance with this Agreement within two Business Days prior to an applicable Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall use the LIBO Rate in effect for the immediately prior Interest Period until a Benchmark Replacement has become effective in accordance with this Agreement.

(iv) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Required Lenders of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBO Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon the LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

2.11 Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing or in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn or rescinded pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Term Loans affected by such event or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if any; provided, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 4.04.

-56-

2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or which results in the Borrower being required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 4.04 or (c) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which expressly requires the consent of such Lender and which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(a), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 12.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall (other than in the case of an existing Lender or Lender Affiliate) be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding Term Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender;

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.02, (A) to the extent that repatriation to the United States of any portion of Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary or any Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds, as applicable, of a Foreign Subsidiary is (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including local laws with respect to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on up-streaming of cash intra-group and fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Foreign Subsidiaries) or (y) restricted by applicable material constituent documents (so long as such restrictions were not implemented for the purpose of avoiding such mandatory repayment requirements), the amount of such portion of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.02 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or applicable constituent documents will not permit repatriation to the United States, and, if within one year following the date on which the respective repayment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any portion of such affected amount of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds is permissible under the applicable local law or applicable material constituent documents (even if such cash is not actually repatriated at such time), an amount equal to such amount will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days or such longer time period as the Administrative Agent may agree) applied (net of costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries arising exclusively as a result of compliance with this provision) by the Borrower to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith, and can so demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, that repatriation of any portion of Excess Cash Flow would incur a tax liability, including a deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Code, (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit that is anticipated in connection with such repatriation) the amount of such portion of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; (ii) the non-application of any portion of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds amount pursuant to this Section 4.02(i) shall not constitute an Event of Default (and such amounts shall be available for the working capital purposes of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, subject to the repayment provisions in this Section 4.02(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that (x) the Borrower shall be required to first use all Excess Cash Flow (other than the amounts thereof affected as described in preceding clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 4.02(i)) in order to make the full amount of the mandatory repayment required to be made on the relevant Excess Cash Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.02(e) before the preceding provisions of this Section 4.02(i) shall apply, and (y) nothing in this Section 4.02(i) shall require the Borrower to cause any amounts to be repatriated to the United States (whether or not such amounts are used in or excluded from the determination of the amount of any mandatory repayments hereunder).

-65-

(j) If, prior to January 31, 2022, the Credit Parties receive Post-Closing Refunds in an aggregate amount for all such Post-Closing Refunds received from time to time exceeding $25,000,000 (such amount in excess thereof, the “Additional Shared Tax Proceeds”), the Borrower shall, promptly (and no later than seven (7) Business Days) after receipt thereof, repay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 50% of the Additional Shared Tax Proceeds (up to a total aggregate principal amount of Loans repaid pursuant to this clause (j) in respect of the Additional Shared Tax Proceeds not to exceed $2,500,000). For the avoidance of doubt, no amount shall be due and payable to the Lenders in respect of Post-Closing Refunds received by the Credit Parties in excess of $30,000,000; provided, that any prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.02(j), together with any voluntary prepayment constituting a PIK Increase Paydown pursuant to Section 2.08(c), shall be applied solely to the two immediately succeeding Scheduled Repayments following the earlier of such voluntary prepayment constituting a PIK Increase Paydown and such mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.02(j), as applicable, and then shall be applied to the remaining Scheduled Repayments in inverse order of maturity (including the bullet payment due on the Maturity Date).

(k) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment under Sections 4.02(b), (c), (d) and (e) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any such mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.02(e), such notice requirement shall be deemed satisfied by any prior delivery of an applicable compliance certificate in accordance with Section 8.01(e)(i).

4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Payment Account. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

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

4.04 Net Payments. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Tax.

(c) The Credit Parties shall, without duplication of Section 4.04(a) or (b) above, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.04, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.04(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if (x) a change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form or certificate inapplicable or would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or certificate with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and (y) in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender shall provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

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

(E) each Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement made by the Borrower to such Agent under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located shall deliver to the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable), any such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding tax. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of an Administrative Agent, the Borrower) (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Agent is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax and such other documentation as will enable the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to determine whether or not such Agent is subject to United States federal backup withholding tax or information reporting requirements.

Each Lender and Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender shall promptly (x) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (y) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such

-70-

indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party 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 clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each Lender represents and warrants that the information set forth on Schedule 4.04 and the W-8 or W-9, as applicable, previously provided to Holdings and the Borrower is complete and accurate, and acknowledges that Holdings and the Borrower will provide such information to the transfer agent for its common stock in connection with issuance of the Equity Consideration and the Additional Shares. Each Lender receiving Equity Consideration or Additional Shares shall provide such information (and a properly executed W-8 or W-9 of such Lender, as applicable) as reasonably requested by Holdings and its transfer agent as a condition to issuance of shares of common stock of Holdings to such Lender.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by Holdings to the appropriate Lender on a book-entry basis or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the Lenders at their respective addresses as referenced in Section 12.03. Holdings shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares in the name of the Lender and in the manner shown on the records of Holdings and the Borrower (unless Holdings and the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other, agree otherwise).

For the avoidance of doubt, such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the first sentence of this Section 10.02 do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

10.03 Application of Funds.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under the Term Secured Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty.

The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

11.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent; Etc.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Term Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit 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 covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Credit Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,

-120-

effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere in any Credit Document. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Credit Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and funding its Term Loan, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

11.04 Certain Rights of the Agents. If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 12.12) with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be); and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent (nor any of their officers, partners, directors, employees or agents) shall except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable to the Lenders for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity and (c) no Agent (nor any of their officers, partners, directors, employees or agents) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Credit Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 or 12.12); provided, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability, if the Agent is not indemnified to its satisfaction, or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code and any and all other insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, reorganization, or similar Legal Requirements of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally or that may affect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under the Bankruptcy Code, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United

-121-

States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover pro rata from other Lenders any payment equal to the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to monitor whether any amendment or waiver to any Loan Document has properly become effective or is permitted hereunder or thereunder except to the extent expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in such amendment or waiver.

In no event shall any Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any related documents because of circumstances beyond such Agent’s control, including, but not limited to, a failure, termination, or suspension of a clearing house, securities depositary, settlement system or central payment system in any applicable part of the world or acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), civil or military disturbances or hostilities, nuclear or natural catastrophes, political unrest, explosion, severe weather or accident, earthquake, terrorism, fire, riot, labor disturbances, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like (whether domestic, federal, state, county or municipal or foreign) which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any related documents, or the unavailability of communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, or any other causes beyond the Agent’s control whether or not of the same class or kind as specified above.

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall require the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder.

The Agents shall have no obligation for (a) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby; (b) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording, or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance, or other instrument in any public office at any time or times; or (c) providing, maintaining, monitoring, or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any Collateral.

The Agents shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto (including any then-current

-122-

Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, SOFR or any other Benchmark Replacement, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (including, but not limited to, determining whether any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, are necessary or advisable).    The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the availability, cessation or replacement of any Benchmark, or the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, or (ii) to identify, determine or select any Benchmark Replacement, any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other replacement benchmark or any replacement or successor index. The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any interest rate published on any publicly available source (including but not limited to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Website), by any publication or other source for determining any interest rates applicable to any Loan, including, without limitation, any inaccuracy or error relating to the publication of any such interest rates. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performing its duties under this Agreement directly or indirectly as a result of the unavailability of any Benchmark or the absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any delay or error on the part of any other Person, or whether as a result of any other Person providing or failing to provide the Administrative Agent with any information or direction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Credit Document other than, in each case, to the extent of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. Nothing in this Section shall constitute a representation or warranty by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries nor can it constitute the basis of any Default or Event of Default.

11.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made or otherwise authenticated by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts

-123-

11.06 Indemnification. To the extent each Agent, and each of the officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, legal counsel (including local, foreign and in-house counsel), auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers, engineers or other advisors, agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons of each of the foregoing and each other person designated, nominated or otherwise mandated by or assisting such Agent pursuant to Section 11.01 or any comparable provision of any Credit Document (collectively, the “Related Persons”), is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower (without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), the Lenders will reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless such Agent (or such Related Persons) in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (as defined below) (determined at the time such indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares as in effect immediately prior to such date)) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or such Related Person) (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the such Agent’s (or such Related Person’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) (provided, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders shall reimburse each Agent upon demand in proportion to the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares (determined at the time such reimbursement is sought (or, if such reimbursement is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares as in effect immediately prior to such date)) for any costs or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of (x) one primary counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent taken as a whole and (y) one firm of local counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to such Lender from any source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Section 11.06. The undertaking in this Section 11.06 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 11.06, (a) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, with respect to any Lender at any time, the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of such Lender at such time and its unused Commitments at such time by (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of all Lenders at such time and the aggregate unused Commitments of all Lenders at such time.

-124-

11.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Term Loans under this Agreement (if any), the Administrative Agent, if applicable, shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, if applicable and unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

11.08 [Reserved].

11.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all of its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by notifying the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

-125-

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by such 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 11 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) and Sections 12.01, 12.08 and 12.23 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates for each of their actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

(f) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (unless discharged earlier as provided above). 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.

11.10 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Secured Creditor hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into the Guaranty, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Credit Party of any Indebtedness permitted hereby, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as is expressly permitted hereby)); provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Term Secured Hedging Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to release or subordinate, as applicable, any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Term Secured Hedging Agreement) (i) upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and reimbursement obligations and other than obligations in respect of any Term Secured Hedging

-126-

Agreement) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Term Secured Hedging Agreements, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Holdings and the Qualified Credit Parties) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 9.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 12.12), (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents, in the Intercreditor Agreements or the last sentence of each of Sections 9.01 and 9.02, (v) constituting property following or concurrently with a sale or other disposition (to Persons other than Holdings and the Qualified Credit Parties) of a Subsidiary of Holdings in compliance with Section 9.02, constituting property owned by such Subsidiary or (vi) constituting property subject to (or which will become subject to promptly following such release) Liens pursuant to Section 9.01(f) or (m), and the Collateral Agent shall promptly, at the written request of the Borrower, release or subordinate, as applicable, the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such property; provided, that the Borrower has delivered to the Agents a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that the applicable transaction is permitted under the Credit Documents (and the Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Agents to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing their obligations under this sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and reimbursement obligations and obligations in respect of any Term Secured Hedging Agreement) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Term Secured Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Term Secured Hedging Agreements.

(c) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 11.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related

-127-

(e) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Creditor hereby agree that (i) no Secured Creditor other than the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code,) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Creditors (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, 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 sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

11.11 Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (a) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

11.12 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any other reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the IRS applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from

-128-

such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses), unless such amounts have been indemnified by any Credit Party or the relevant Lender.

11.13 Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any the Bankruptcy Code, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan 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 (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(d) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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 this Agreement. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each of Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.02 Right of Set-off. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and, subject to Section 12.24, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, other than accounts used exclusively for payroll, payroll taxes, fiduciary and trust purposes and employee benefits) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any of the other Credit Parties against and on account of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be unmatured.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE TERM LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier, cable communication or other electronic image transmission) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled, transmitted or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified on Schedule 12.03; if to any Lender, at its address specified in an Administrative Questionnaire delivered to (or

-132-

otherwise on file with) the Administrative Agent; and if to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a), unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower will, or will cause its respective Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that is or relates to a Notice of Borrowing or a notice pursuant to Section 2.06, (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its respective Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in Section 12.03(a) but only to the extent specifically requested by the Administrative Agent in a particular instance.

(c) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Holdings and/or the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities (each, a “Public Lender”). Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that (w) at the request of the Administrative Agent, Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to Holdings or the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as such as set forth in Section 12.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Credit Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Term Loans.

-133-

(d) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to Holdings or the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a), the Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its electronic mail address shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such electronic mail address.

12.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void); provided, further, that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible Transferees (each a “Participant”) in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitment, Term Loans, Note or other Obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 12.04(b)) and the Participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; provided, further, 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 no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory repayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Term Loan (or the addition of additional Commitments or Term Loans) shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Term Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, except as otherwise set forth below in this Section 12.04(a), the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 4.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.04(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided, that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 4.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. A participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 4.04(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the

-135-

Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.13 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.02 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.06 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Term Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may (in each case below, excluding any assignments to any Affiliated Person, except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 2.15) (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) any Lender Affiliate of such Lender or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Lender Affiliate of any such other Lender (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as a Lender Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this subclause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may otherwise agree, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible Transferee (as applicable) (if any) for purposes of the dollar limitation set forth above), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; provided, that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes (if any) by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section

-136-

2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such consent deemed to have been made with respect to any assignment if the Borrower has not responded within ten Business Days after delivery of notice of such assignment) shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor and which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 12.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment and outstanding Term Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, (i) to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section 4.04(f), and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee Lender shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Credit Parties and their Affiliates or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 12.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay increased costs, as and to the extent provided in Sections 2.10 and 4.04 (excluding for the avoidance of doubt Excluded Taxes), after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Term Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, and any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Term Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued by, such fund, as security for such obligations or securities. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

-137-

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitment and/or Term Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 12.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 11.06, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Term Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), but excluding amounts received from sales of assignments or participations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans, of a sum which constitutes a greater proportion of the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender than the related sum

-138-

or sums received by other Lenders constitutes of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and the express provisions of Section 2.15 that permit differing payments among Lenders.

12.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto); provided, that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Section 9 and calculations of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, shall utilize GAAP; provided, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change becomes effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided, further, that if such an amendment is requested by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, then the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of the relevant affected provisions (without the payment of any amendment or similar fee to the Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof, (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, for purposes of calculating financial terms, all covenants and related definitions, all such calculations shall be based on the operations, assets and results of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all covenants and financial ratios contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof, (iv) all financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of any accounting change shall contain a schedule showing the adjustments, if any, necessary to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting changes, and (v) all references in this Agreement to a four-Fiscal Quarter period of the Borrower referring to a period prior to the Closing Date shall refer to the applicable period prior to the Closing Date as if the Borrower had existed and the Transaction has occurred on the first day of said period.

12.14 Domicile of Term Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Term Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.

12.15 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its non-fiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.15 and such agency being solely for Tax purposes, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Term Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Term Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Term Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Term Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b), an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee Lender (unless the assignee Lender shall already be a Lender hereunder), the appropriate IRS Forms, if applicable, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b), if applicable, and the consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower. Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this

-145-

Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Term Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Term Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.15 except to the extent incurred by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.16 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior written consent of the Borrower (other than to its affiliates, and its and their partners, officers, directors, employees, auditors, advisors or counsel if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information; provided, such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 12.16 by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or requested by any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body or self-regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual (actual or prospective) counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (and/or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) relating to the Obligations, so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.16 and no such disclosure shall be made to a Disqualified Lender, and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer, pledge or participation of any of the Notes, Commitments, Term Loans or any interest therein by such Lender; provided, that such prospective transferee, pledgee or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.16.

12.17 Special Notice Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Security Documents require that certain promissory notes, and certain capital stock and other Equity Interests owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and, in certain cases, delivered for pledge, to the Collateral Agent. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that, except to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.12(b), each Credit Party shall only be required to take actions under the laws of the United States and any State

-146-

thereof to perfect the security interests in the pledged capital stock and other Equity Interests of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person regardless of where organized (and in each case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party). To the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital stock or other Equity Interests in, any Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that no actions have been required or will be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock or other Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. All conditions and representations (other than with respect to Investments in such Foreign Subsidiaries) contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions (unless otherwise requested pursuant to Section 8.12(b)) under local law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction but only with respect to capital stock of, other Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and any State thereof.

12.18 Patriot Act. Each Lender and Agent subject to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.19 OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.19 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF

-147-

THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(d) Each Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Subordination Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination arrangement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof and to subject the Liens securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof. Each Lender hereunder (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the Subordination Agreement, (b) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the Subordination Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any of the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or the Subordination Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or the Subordination Agreement, as applicable, shall control

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

12.21 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 12.21, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, each Credit Party, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions

-148-

contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Credit Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that such Credit Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

12.22 Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions specified in Schedule 12.22 attached hereto as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set forth in Schedule 12.22, unless and then only to the extent extended by the Required Lenders.

All conditions precedent and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents); provided, that to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Closing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, to the extent such representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language) at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.22. The acceptance of the benefits of the Borrowing on the Closing Date shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by the Borrower and Holdings to each of the Secured Creditors that the actions required pursuant to this Section 12.22 will be taken within the relevant time periods referred to in this Section 12.22 and Schedule 12.22, and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise to an Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

12.23 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Secured Obligations by the Borrower or any Guarantor or the transfer to the Secured Creditors of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Secured Creditors are required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elect to do so upon the reasonable advice of their counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Secured Creditors are required or elect to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Secured Creditors related thereto, the liability of the Borrower or such Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

-149-

12.24 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Credit Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) (in respect of the exercise of any set off, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The provisions of this Section 12.24 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party

12.25 Hedging Creditors. Each Hedging Creditor shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Credit Documents solely for purposes of and solely with respect to any reference in a Credit Document to the parties for whom the Collateral Agent is acting. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Hedging Creditors and, by virtue of being a counterparty to a Term Secured Hedging Agreement, each Hedging Creditor shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Hedging Creditor under the Credit Documents consist exclusively of such Hedging Creditor’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Collateral Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are owing to any Hedging Creditor unless such Hedging Creditor has provided written notification to the Administrative Agent of the amount that is owing to it and such notification is received by the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. No Hedging Creditor shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations arising under Term Secured Hedging Agreements with Hedging Creditors except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Term Secured Hedging Agreements in the case of a Maturity Date.

12.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(c) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

12.27 Electronic Records. This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Loan Communication”), including Loan Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. The Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Loan Communication shall be valid and binding of the Borrower to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Loan Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Credit Parties enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Loan Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Loan Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders of a manually signed paper Loan Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Loan Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Loan Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Loan Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

-151-

pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Credit Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

12.28 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.29 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

12.30 Accredited Investor Representation. Each Lender hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date and, if applicable, on the date of receipt of any Additional Shares, (i) it is an “accredited investor” (an “Accredited Investor”) within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act; (ii) any acquisition of the Equity Consideration or the Additional Shares, if applicable, by it will be for its own account or for the account of one or more other Accredited Investors as to which it exercises sole investment discretion; (iii) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Equity Consideration and the Additional Shares, if applicable, and it and any accounts for which it is acting are able to bear the economic risks of and an entire loss of its or their investment in the Equity Consideration and the Additional Shares, if applicable; (iv) it is not acquiring the Equity Consideration or the Additional Shares, if applicable, with a view to any distribution thereof in a transaction that would violate the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; (v) it acknowledges that the Equity Consideration and the Additional Shares, if applicable, have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Equity Consideration and the Additional Shares, if applicable, may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the benefit of U.S. Persons except as set forth below.

Each Lender agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and Holdings, on its own behalf and on behalf of each account for which it is acting, that the Equity Consideration and Additional Shares, if applicable, may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in accordance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and only (i) to Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof, (ii) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
