Sprint Communications, Inc.

Attention: Janet M. Duncan, Vice President and Treasurer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Sprint Communications, Inc. (“Sprint,” “you” or the “Company”) has advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS”), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”), Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (“DBCI”) and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho”, together with JPMorgan, GS, DBSI and DBCI, “we”, “us” or the “Commitment Parties”) that the Company wishes to obtain a new $3,200.0 million bridge credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) having the terms set forth in the bridge credit agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such modifications as agreed among you and us (the “Credit Agreement”).

In connection with the foregoing, you have requested that (i) JPMorgan, GS, DBSI, and Mizuho each agree to structure and arrange the Bridge Facility, (ii) JPMorgan, GS, DBCI and Mizuho each commit to provide a portion of the Bridge Facility and (iii) JPMorgan serve as sole administrative agent for the Bridge Facility.

Each of JPMorgan, GS, DBSI and Mizuho is pleased to advise you that it is willing to act as a joint lead arranger and bookrunner for the Bridge Facility.

Furthermore, each of JPMorgan, GS, DBCI and Mizuho is pleased to advise you of its several but not joint commitment to provide 40.0%, 40.0%, 10.0% and 10.0%, respectively, of the Bridge Facility upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”). It is agreed that, at any time prior to the Borrowing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), upon the occurrence of any event that would have reduced the Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement assuming such Commitments were effective thereunder, the commitments of the Commitment Parties in respect of the Bridge Facility under this Commitment Letter shall be reduced by an equal amount, with such reduction to be ratable amongst the Commitment Parties based on their outstanding commitment

amounts. The Company agrees to provide prompt written notice to the Commitment Parties of any such reduction in the commitments pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.

It is agreed that JPMorgan, GS, DBSI and Mizuho will act as a joint lead arrangers and bookrunners in respect of the Bridge Facility (each, in such capacities, a “Lead Arranger”), that JPMorgan will act as the sole administrative agent in respect of the Bridge Facility and that each of the foregoing will, in such capacities, perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles; provided that you agree that JPMorgan may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC. It is further agreed that JPMorgan will have “lead left” placement in any and all marketing materials and documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility and will have the authority typically associated with “lead left” placement. You further agree that, as a condition to the commitments and agreements hereunder, no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation will be paid in connection with the Bridge Facility unless you and we shall so agree; provided that (i) within 15 business days following the date hereof, you may appoint up to three additional joint lead arrangers (one of which can be designated as a bookrunner) as well as two co-managers (each, an “Additional Commitment Party”) for the Bridge Facility and award such Additional Commitment Party the title of joint lead arranger or co-manager, as applicable, and economics determined by you and acceptable to JPMorgan and GS (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint an Additional Commitment Party or confer the title of co-manager or Joint Lead Arranger in respect of the Bridge Facility, the commitments of JPMorgan and GS at such time in respect of the Bridge Facility will be reduced on a pro rata basis (determined solely by reference to the commitments of JPMorgan and GS) by the amount of the commitment of such Additional Commitment Party (or its relevant affiliate); provided further that the commitment of each of JPMorgan and GS in respect of the Bridge Facility after giving effect to the joinder of all such Additional Commitment Parties shall not be less than 30% unless otherwise agreed by JPMorgan or GS, as the case may be, in their sole discretion and (ii) upon the execution by such Additional Commitment Party (and any relevant affiliate) of customary joinder documentation, such Additional Commitment Party (and any relevant affiliate) shall thereafter constitute a “Commitment Party” hereunder.

In connection with establishing the Bridge Facility, we may syndicate the Bridge Facility to a group of lenders (the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to you (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that the Commitment Parties will not syndicate any of the Bridge Facility to those banks, financial institutions and other persons separately identified by you to us in writing prior to the date hereof, and any affiliates of any such persons so identified that are clearly identifiable as such solely by similarity of their name (such persons or entities, collectively the “Disqualified Institutions”). In the event the Bridge Facility is syndicated, you agree actively to assist us in completing a syndication satisfactory to us and you. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from the existing lending relationships of the Company, (b) a reasonable amount of direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Company and the proposed Lenders (other than Disqualified Institutions) (including, without limitation, participation of senior management of the Company in a reasonable number of calls with proposed Lenders (other than Disqualified Institutions)) at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, and (c) your ensuring that during the syndication of the Bridge Facility there shall be no competing offering, placement or arrangement of any debt securities or bank financing by or on behalf of the Company or any of its controlled affiliates (other than (i) such financing that reduces the commitments under or results in a repayment under the Bridge Facility, (ii) any ordinary course bilateral financing or ordinary course multi-lateral financing that is not broadly marketed or syndicated and does not involve a registered offering (including, without limitation, capital lease facilities, equipment purchase facilities, accounts receivables facilities and ABS warehouse facilities (and issuances thereunder, including any refinancing thereof with ABS term loans or with other ABS term

financings (which such ABS term loans or ABS term financings, if offered, placed or arranged while any loans under the Bridge Facility are outstanding, shall not be broadly syndicated)) by the Company and its affiliates, (iii) such debt securities or bank financing disclosed in writing to the Commitment Parties prior to the date hereof, or (iv) the filing by the Company of a “shelf” registration statement). Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth in this paragraph, we agree that we will not be released from our commitment hereunder in connection with any syndication or assignment to any Lender unless (A) (i) you have consented to such syndication or assignment in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) any such Lender has entered into an amendment or joinder with respect to this Commitment Letter committing to provide a portion of the Bridge Facility (in which case our commitments hereunder shall be reduced at such time by an amount equal to the commitment assumed by such Lender, with such reduction to be ratable amount the Commitment Parties party hereto on the date hereof based on the commitment amounts thereof) or (B) such Lender shall have entered into the applicable definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility and funded the portion of the Bridge Facility required to be funded by it on the Borrowing Date.

The Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as Lead Arrangers, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached (such institutions shall (x) not include Disqualified Institutions and (y) be reasonably acceptable to you; such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders.

In its capacity as Lead Arranger (or, with respect to any Additional Commitment Party, co-manager), each Commitment Party will have no responsibility other than to arrange the Bridge Facility as set forth herein and in no event shall any Commitment Party be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between you and any Commitment Party is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, irrespective of whether any Commitment Party has advised or is advising you on other matters and the Company agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Commitment Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by any Commitment Party in connection with this Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Company acknowledges and agrees that no Commitment Party is advising the Company as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Commitment Party shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto.

To assist us in our arrangement and syndication (if any) efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to us all customary information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, including all financial information and projections (such projections, the “Projections”), as we may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Bridge Facility. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all written information other than the Projections, other forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry nature (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives or affiliates (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) is or will be, when furnished and taken as a whole (together with any supplements thereto) and together with any information contained in the most recent public filings made by the Company on Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, taken as a whole (including any supplements thereto), when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projections

that have been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives or affiliates have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to us (it being understood that the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results may differ significantly and materially from the Projections and that no assurance can be given that the results set forth in the Projections will be realized). You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

Each Commitment Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or any of its affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or other similar legal process, (d) to any Lender or prospective Lender, assignees or participants (other than Disqualified Institutions) or any potential counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Bridge Facility, in each case, who agree to customary confidentiality undertakings, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) with the consent of the Company or (g) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (ii) becomes available to any Commitment Party from a source other than the Company or its subsidiaries. For the purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Commitment Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or its subsidiaries; provided that after the date hereof, in the case of information received from the Company or its subsidiaries, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this paragraph shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised reasonable care to protect such Confidential Information, and in no event less than the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information. The provisions of this paragraph shall be superseded by the confidentiality provisions in the Credit Agreement, if executed and delivered, and in any event shall terminate eighteen months after the date hereof if not so superseded.

As consideration for the commitments and agreements each Commitment Party hereunder, you agree to cause to be paid the nonrefundable fees described in the Fee Letter among us and you dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (the “Fee Letter”).

The only conditions to each Commitment Party’s commitment to fund the loans under the Bridge Facility on the Borrowing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are those set forth in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement.

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and other representatives (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Bridge Facility or the use of the proceeds thereof or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding to the extent relating to any of the foregoing (a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto, whether or not such

Proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person, and to reimburse each indemnified person promptly after receipt of a written request for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of, or material breach of its obligations under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Bridge Facility by, such indemnified person (or any of its related parties controlled by such indemnified person), and (b) to reimburse each Commitment Party and its affiliates promptly upon a written request from time to time for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, consultant’s fees and expenses, travel expenses, and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one primary external counsel, one special regulatory counsel and one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction of the Borrower or any Loan Party) incurred in connection with the Bridge Facility and any related documentation (including this Commitment Letter and the definitive financing documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof. It is further agreed that each Commitment Party shall only have liability to you (as opposed to any other person) and that each Commitment Party shall be liable solely in respect of its own commitment to the Bridge Facility on a several, and not joint, basis with any other person. No indemnified person shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with this Commitment Letter or the Bridge Facility. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any indemnified person in connection with any claim for which it is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such indemnified person shall, subject to any and all applicable laws and confidentiality obligations and so long as such actions do not prejudice such indemnified person’s rights or interests (i) promptly notify the Company thereof in writing and (ii) give the Company an opportunity to consult from time to time with such indemnified person regarding defensive measures and potential settlement, provided, however, that failure to comply with either or both of clauses (i) and (ii) will not affect any such indemnified person’s rights hereunder except to the extent the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

You acknowledge that each Commitment Party and its affiliates (the term “Commitment Party” as used below in this paragraph being understood to include such affiliates) may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Commitment Party will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby or its other relationships with you in connection with the performance by the Commitment Party of services for other companies, and no Commitment Party will furnish any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that each Commitment Party has no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. You further acknowledge that each Commitment Party (or an affiliate) is a full service securities firm and each such person may from time to time effect transactions, for its own or its affiliates’ account or the account of customers, and hold positions in loans, securities or options on loans or securities of the Company and its affiliates and of other companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter.

Each Commitment Party may employ the services of its affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and, in connection with the provision of such services, may exchange with such affiliates information concerning you and the other companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, and, to the extent so employed, such affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits afforded, and shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements of, the Commitment Party hereunder.

Neither this Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letter shall be assignable by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each other party hereto (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void); provided that GS may, without notice to you, assign its rights and obligations under this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter to Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC. This Commitment Letter is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto and the indemnified persons. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by you and each Commitment Party. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among us with respect to the Bridge Facility and set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto, unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the Commitment Parties and you.

This Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each party hereto consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or the performance of services hereunder or thereunder. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such legal proceeding in the state or federal courts located in the City of New York and (b) any right it may have to a trial by jury in any suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim brought by or on behalf of any party related to or arising out of this Commitment Letter, the Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the performance of services hereunder.

This Commitment Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that neither this Commitment Letter, the Credit Agreement or the Fee Letter nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person (including, without limitation, other potential providers or arrangers of financing) except (a) to your officers, agents and advisors who are directly involved in the consideration of this matter, (b) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof) or (c) with respect to the Commitment Letter (but not the Fee Letter), to ratings agencies in consultation with the Commitment Parties so long as such ratings agencies are subject to a confidentiality agreement with you covering this Commitment Letter.

The syndication, compensation, reimbursement, indemnification, jurisdiction, venue, waiver of jury trial, governing law, agreement not to assert a claim for fiduciary duty and confidentiality (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of the tenth paragraph hereof) provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letter and any other provision herein or therein which by its terms expressly survives the termination of this Commitment Letter shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the Credit Agreement shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or the commitments hereunder.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement, please indicate your acceptance of the terms hereof (including Exhibit A) and the Fee Letter by returning to us executed counterparts hereof and of each of the Fee Letter not later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 20, 2017. This offer will automatically expire at such time if we have not received such executed counterparts in accordance with the preceding sentence. Subject to the surviving provisions as set forth herein, this Commitment Letter and the commitments and agreements hereunder shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Company delivering written notice to the other parties hereto of its election to terminate

this Commitment Letter, (ii) March 20, 2019 and (iii) the date the commitments hereunder are reduced to zero pursuant to the terms of the fourth paragraph hereto.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Initial Term Lender agrees to make Initial Term Loans to the Borrower denominated in U.S. dollars on the Borrowing Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, prior to the date that is 18 months from the Effective Date) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Initial Term Commitment. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligation of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts. At the commencement of each Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. At the time that each Base Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than

$5,000,000; provided that a Base Rate Borrowing of Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time.

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (except that in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing on the Borrowing Date, such notice shall be given not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business days before the date of the proposed Borrowing) or (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the initial Borrowing hereunder shall be a Base Rate Borrowing, except to the extent that this Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto at least three Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date and the Borrower has given timely notice of a Eurodollar Borrowing after such execution and delivery (or, alternatively, the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a pre-funding letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which the Borrower has agreed to reimburse the Lenders for any costs of the type described in Section 2.15 in the event that, for any reason, the Borrowing Date and initial Loans do not occur on the date specified in such pre-funding letter).

SECTION 2.04 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections for Borrowings.

(a) Elections by Borrower. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options for continuations and conversions with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Information in Election Notices. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

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

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

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

(e) Presumption if No Notice. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction.

(c) Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(f) Effect of Loan Accounts. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.09 (and in the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.04) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans held by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee and its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans and Mandatory Commitment Reductions.

(b) Eurodollar Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Obligors hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above, (ii) in the case of any interest on any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to the Loan in respect of which such interest is payable and (iii) in the case of any fee or other amount that does not relate to a Loan of a particular type, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the Adjusted Base Rate.

The applicable Adjusted Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a

Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender ; or

(iii) shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.16(c) and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive so long as it reflects a reasonable basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.

In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for U.S. dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Obligors hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Obligors shall make such deductions and (iii) the Obligors shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Obligors shall pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by Obligors. The Obligors shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written 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 2.16) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (in each case, including any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses, other than penalties, interest and expenses to the extent solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, respectively, arising therefrom or with respect thereto during the period prior to the Obligors making the payment demanded under this paragraph (c)), 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 Obligor Representative 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) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent within 10 days after the demand thereof, for (i) the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(e)(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by 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 Loan 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 paragraph (d).

(e) Receipt for Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Obligors to a Governmental Authority, the Obligor Representative 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) Forms Requirements.

(i) Each Foreign Lender (or assignee or Participant, as applicable) shall deliver to the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E , Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP, or Form W-8IMY or successor thereto (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions of any applicable Form W-8 or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, such Form W-8 shall establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, such Form W-8 shall establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty. Any such forms (and any other forms or documentation prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld) shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the expiration, inaccuracy, obsolescence or invalidity of any form

previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to legally provide any previously delivered certificate to the Obligor Representative (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

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

(iii) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Obligor Representative 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 Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Obligor Representative 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 (f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, two duly and accurately completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Obligor or with respect to which any Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Obligor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Obligor under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Obligor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to such Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the

relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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 paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally: Pro Rata Treatment: Sharing of Set-Offs.

(a) Payments by Obligors. The Obligors shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at such of its offices in New York City as shall be notified to the relevant parties from time to time, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof, and the Obligors shall have no liability in the event timely or correct distribution of such payments is not so made. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(b) Application if Payments Insufficient. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the following order:

(i) First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(ii) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations payable to the Lenders constituting interest on the Loans, interest on extensions of credit and interest on other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

(iii) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Persons owed such amounts in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;

(iv) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal, interest and fees with respect to Loans) payable to the Lenders in their capacity as such (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

(v) Fifth, to all other Obligations; and

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

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, (i) each Borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.01 hereof shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.11 hereof in respect of Commitments shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.08 hereof shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) Eurodollar Loans having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal of Loans shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment by the Borrower of interest on Loans shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (including through voluntary prepayment by the Borrower), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate principal amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion of such amounts received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of such payments shall be shared by all the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Obligors consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Obligors’ rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Obligors in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Obligor Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders entitled thereto (the “Applicable Recipient”) 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, distribute to the Applicable Recipient the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Applicable Recipient severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable Recipient 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f) Certain Deductions by Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Obligors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall, if requested by the Obligor Representative, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Obligors or the rights or obligations of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16. The Obligors hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders — Increased Costs. Etc. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Obligors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent given by the Obligor Representative, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments; provided, further, that until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Obligor shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No assignment pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) shall be deemed to impair any claim that the Borrower may have against any Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder.

(c) Replacement of Lenders — Amendments. If, in connection with a request by the Borrower to obtain the consent of the Lenders to a waiver, amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement that requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.02 (or, as applicable, all or all affected Lenders), one or more Lenders (the “Declining Lenders”) having Loans and unused Commitments representing not more than 50% of the sum of the total Loans and unused Commitments at such time have declined to agree to such request, then the Borrower

may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent given by the Borrower, require all (but not less than all) of such Declining Lenders to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignees may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed and (ii) each such Declining Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under any other Loan Document, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts).

SECTION 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of a waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby (other than with respect to Section 9.02(b)(iii)).

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date, such Defaulting Lender shall cease to constitute a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

SECTION 2.20 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.21 NewCo Financing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrower shall be permitted to form wholly-owned passive holding company Restricted Subsidiaries (each, a “NewCo”), which shall not be required to be Guarantors. The Borrower may contribute the Equity Interests of Subsidiary Guarantors (and any other Subsidiaries that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Guarantors (and not direct subsidiaries of NewCo)) to a NewCo, however, this shall not impact the guaranty requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to any such entities owned by a NewCo, and a NewCo itself (but not any entities it owns) shall be disregarded in calculating the guaranty requirement test set forth in Section 5.09(b). Any NewCo shall be a passive holding company and shall not own any material assets or conduct any material business other than the ownership of the Equity Interests of Subsidiary Guarantors (and their Subsidiaries) as set forth above, provided that a NewCo may incur unsecured Indebtedness (and may conduct activities related to such incurrence and maintenance of such Indebtedness) (a) that is not Guaranteed by or for which other credit support is provided by any other person other than an unsecured Guarantee from the Parent Guarantor, (b) the terms of which do not restrict the ability of the Guaranteed Parties (or an agent on their behalf) under the Loan Documents (or under any Indebtedness that replaces or refinances any facilities under the Loan Documents) to realize on the value of the Guarantees with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantors, (c) which such Indebtedness shall not contain any restriction on dividends or similar distributions by NewCo or any of the entities owned directly or indirectly by NewCo, (d) which such indebtedness represents a refinancing or replacement of existing Indebtedness at the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower in an amount no greater than the principal amount of such refinanced or replaced indebtedness, plus amounts to pay accrued interest, fees and related expenses and (e) the other terms of which are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

(“NewCo Indebtedness”, the transfer of equity in Guarantors (and their Subsidiaries) to a NewCo as set forth above, a “NewCo Transfer”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 9.02), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into amendments to the Loan Documentation without the consent of any other parties hereto to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. were not the Administrative Agent, and any bank serving in the capacity of Administrative Agent from time to time and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of any thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or, if provided herein, with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith of therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by

it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where unanimous consent of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Loan Document in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties, and exercise its rights and powers, by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Obligor Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after such retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Administrative Agent, and such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event 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 intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, lead arrangers, syndication agents or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as the Administrative Agent, Lenders hereunder.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Guaranteed Party shall have any right individually to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Guarantee pursuant to the terms of Section 9.16.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any 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 Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(y) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the 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 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Guaranteed Party 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 or the other Guaranteed Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consult pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article VIII, none of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Guaranteed Party, whether or

not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article VIII.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim 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, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers: Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of reduction or expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.17(b), 2.17(c) or 2.17(d), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under Section 9.14, subject to Section 9.16, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) modify the currency in which a Loan or Commitment is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender holding such Loan or Commitment;

provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, as the case may be and (B) no consent, other than the Required Lenders (and of each directly and adversely affected Lender, or if applicable, each Lender) shall be required to effect any of the changes referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

In connection with any waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to establish a “record date” to determine which Lenders are to be entitled to participate in consenting to such waiver, amendment or modification (it being understood that Persons that become “Lenders” under this Agreement after such “record date” pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 shall not be entitled to participate in such consent).

For purposes of this Section, the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified in this Agreement, and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount. In addition, whenever a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “affected” thereby, such waiver, amendment or modification shall, upon consent of such Lender, become effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes effective as to any other Lender, so long as the Required Lenders consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 9.02(b)) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to effect a NewCo Financing pursuant to Section 2.21 (and the Administrative Agent

and the Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of any other party as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the terms thereof); (ii) [reserved]; (iii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, it being agreed the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) provide the Lenders at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such amendment, and any such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, within three (3) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; and (iv) guarantees and related documents executed by Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with any other Loan Document, entered into, amended, supplemented or waived, without the consent of any other person, by the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or to cause such guarantee document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses: Indemnity: Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for paying, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Special Counsel, a single FCC counsel and of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction of the Borrower or any Loan Party, the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel acting on behalf of all indemnified persons and one FCC counsel (and, in the event of any conflict of interest, of additional counsel for all affected indemnified persons and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and in the event of a conflict of interest, local conflicts counsel)) the Administrative Agent or Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) to the extent not already reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.16(b), all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to herein or therein.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, [each syndication agent and each documentation agent] identified on the cover hereto, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether or not brought by the Borrower or another

Person); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (a) arise from a dispute solely among the Indemnitees and not arising from any act or omission of the Borrower or its Affiliates (other than disputes against any agent or arranger in its capacity as such or in fulfilling its role as such) or (b) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any 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 Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the obligations of the Borrower under paragraph (b) above to reimburse the Lenders for any payment made under this paragraph (c).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Loan Parties shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby including, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, and the Loans, at the time held by it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 7 Business Days after receiving request for such consent; and

(B) the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent and treating related Approved Funds as one assignee for this purpose) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) no assignments may be made to (i) any natural person or (ii) any other Person that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is maintained primarily for the purpose of holding or managing investments for the benefit of any natural person and/or any immediate family members or heirs thereof, in each case unless otherwise agreed by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in its sole discretion;

interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 (subject to the requirements of Section 2.16) and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04.

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans held by, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, any written consent to such assignment required by said paragraph (b) and all applicable tax forms required pursuant to Section 2.16(f), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Participations.

(i) Participations Generally. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks, other financial institutions or any other entity that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans or similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business (and not to any Person prohibited from taking an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C)) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans held by it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations and requirements of, Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by

law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided, however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to the Borrower or any other Person without such Lender’s prior written consent (including, without, limitation, the identity of any participant or any information relating to such participant’s participating interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that a Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Obligor and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender), and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) No Assignments or Participations to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Parent Guarantor, Borrower or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Obligors herein and in the other Loan Documents, and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans , regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, any assignment or participation pursuant to Section 9.04 (with respect to matters arising prior to such assignment or participation), the repayment of the Loans and the payment of any other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the expiration or termination

of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or Arrangers 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. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic means (including electronic mail) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 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.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Obligors against any of and all the obligations of the Obligors now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Obligor Representative of any request for disclosure of any Information (A) by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such

(I) any action taken by any of the Guaranteed Parties that is authorized by this paragraph (b) or otherwise in this Agreement or by any other provision of any Loan Document, or any omission to take any such action;

(J) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any of the Obligations or any Guaranteed Party’s rights with respect thereto; or

(C) to have its obligations hereunder be divided among the Guarantors, such that each Guarantor’s obligation would be less than the full amount claimed.

(c) Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 9.14 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Obligors or any other Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Guaranteed Parties on demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including out-of-pocket fees of counsel) incurred by them in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or the like under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law.

(d) Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the final payment in full of all Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, such Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, whether by subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or otherwise, against any Obligor or any other Person.

(e) Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor and the Guaranteed Parties, the obligations of any Obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided therein (and shall become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided therein) for purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 9.14, notwithstanding any bar, stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against such Obligor, and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations becoming automatically due and payable), such obligations shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for purposes of said paragraph (a) of this Section 9.14.

(f) Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any of the Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on written demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the immediately following sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Guarantor Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Guarantor Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this paragraph (f) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment in full of all of the Obligations.

For purposes of this paragraph (f), (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Guarantor Share of the Obligations, (ii) “Excess Guarantor Payment” means the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Guarantor Share of the Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Guarantor Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair

saleable value of all properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of all of the Guarantors (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents), determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.

(g) General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.14 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of paragraph (f) of this Section 9.14, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.14, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(h) Subordination. This Section 9.14 is subject to the terms of Section 9.19.

SECTION 9.15 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.16 Release of Guarantees.

(a) General. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary (or, subject to compliance with Section 5.09(b), becomes a Designated Subsidiary); provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise; provided further that as of any date upon which a Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Designated Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made an Investment

in a Person that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets (net of third-party liabilities) of such Subsidiary as of such date (as determined reasonably and in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower).

Upon the Date of Full Satisfaction, the Guaranteed Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to confirm termination of the applicable Guarantees of the Obligations. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.16(a), the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.16(a) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Guaranteed Parties irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to effect the releases set forth in this Section 9.16(a).

(b) Subordination Agreements. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into any subordination agreement contemplated hereby with respect to Indebtedness or any other obligation that is required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder or that otherwise is to be subject to a subordination arrangement, or to evidence the subordination provisions of this Agreement (any such subordination agreement, an “Additional Agreement”), and the Guaranteed Parties acknowledge that any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Guaranteed Party (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Additional Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Additional Agreement and to take such actions as it deems appropriate in furtherance of the intent and purposes of such Additional Agreement, including exercising its rights or obligations (or those of the Guaranteed Parties) thereunder and providing any indemnities to the trustee or similar agent thereunder on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties in order for such trustee or agent to take any applicable action thereunder. The Secured Parties agree that in the event of a conflict between the Loan Documents (other than any Additional Agreement) and the Additional Agreement, the Additional Agreement shall control.

SECTION 9.17 Non-Public Information.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws.

(b) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that the Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. The Borrower agrees to clearly designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Borrower without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.

SECTION 9.18 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the syndication agents and the documentation agents listed on the cover hereto, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand (the “Applicable Persons”), the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Applicable Persons and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Applicable Persons, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Applicable Persons may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Applicable Persons has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, that it will not assert a claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 9.19 Subordination Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the following subordination provisions shall apply thereto:

(a) Agreement To Subordinate. The Loan Parties agree, and each Guaranteed Party agrees, that the payment of all Obligations is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 9.19, to the prior payment in full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that ranks equal in right of payment to the Obligations, and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that by its terms is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations; and only Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that is Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Obligations in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

(b) Liquidation, Dissolution or Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of any Loan Party to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of any Loan Party or in a reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to any Loan Party or its property:

(i) the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full of such Senior Indebtedness in cash or Permitted Investments before the Guaranteed Parties shall be entitled to receive any payment; and

(ii) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties is paid in full in cash or Permitted Investments, any payment or distribution to which Guaranteed Parties would be entitled but for Section 9.19 of this Agreement shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, except that Guaranteed Parties may receive Junior Securities.

(c) Default on Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall not pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Loans (or pay any other Related Obligations relating to the Loans, including additional interest, fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and rescission or damage claims) and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Loans (collectively, “pay the Obligations”) (except in the form of Junior Securities) if either of the following occurs (a “Payment Default”):

(i) any Related Obligation on any Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties is not paid in full in cash or Permitted Investments when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods); or

(ii) any other default on Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties occurs and the maturity of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms;

unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Applicable Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or Permitted Investments; provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall be entitled to pay the Obligations without regard to the foregoing if the Borrower and the Administrative Agent receive written notice approving such payment from the applicable representatives of all Applicable Senior Indebtedness with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing.

During the continuance of any default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods (a “Non-Payment Default”), the Loan Parties shall not pay the Obligations (except in the form of Junior Securities) for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) of written notice (a “Blockage Notice”) of such Non-Payment Default from the applicable representative of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. So long as there shall remain outstanding any Senior Indebtedness under the Secured Credit Agreements, a Blockage Notice may be given only by the administrative agents thereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the requisite lenders named therein. The Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (ii) because the Non-Payment Default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (iii) because such Applicable Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash or Permitted Investments.

Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 9.19(c) and Section 9.19(b) hereof), unless the holders of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness or the applicable representative of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness shall have accelerated the maturity of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness or a Payment Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower and related Guarantors shall be entitled to resume paying the Obligations after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. The Obligations shall not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties during such period; provided that if any Blockage Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the holders of Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties (other than the holders of Indebtedness under the Secured Credit Agreements), an applicable representative of holders of Indebtedness under the Secured Credit Agreements may give another Blockage Notice within such period. However, in no event shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods on the Obligations is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 360 day period, and there must be at least 181 days during any consecutive 360 day period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Blockage Notice to the Administrative Agent shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 90 days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants during the period after the date of delivery of a Blockage Notice, that, in either case, would give rise to a Non Payment Default pursuant to any provisions under which a Non Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Non Payment Default for this purpose).

(d) Acceleration of Payment of Obligations.

If payment of the Obligations is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the holders of the Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties or the applicable representative of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Section 9.19. If any Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties is outstanding, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may pay the Obligations until five Business Days after the applicable representatives of all the holders of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the Obligations only if this Agreement otherwise permits payment at that time.

(e) When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

If a distribution is made to holders of Obligations that, due to Section 9.19 of this Agreement, should not have been made to them, such holders are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

(f) Subrogation.

After all Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties is paid in full and until then outstanding Obligations are paid in full in cash or Permitted Investments, the Guaranteed Parties shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness ranking pari passu with the Obligations) to the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Section 9.19 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to the Guaranteed Parties is not, as between the Loan Parties and such Guarantee Parties, a payment by the Loan Parties on such Senior Indebtedness.

(g) Relative Rights.

This Section 9.19 defines the relative rights of Guarantee Parties and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall:

(i) impair, as between the Loan Parties and the Guarantee Parties, the obligations of the Loan Parties, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations in accordance with their terms;

(ii) prevent the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable

to Guaranteed Parties and such other rights of such holders of Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein; or

(iii) affect the relative rights of the Guaranteed Parties and creditors of the Loan Parties, other than the rights of Guaranteed Parties in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness.

(h) Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Loan Parties.

No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties to enforce the subordination of the Obligations shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Loan Parties or by its failure to comply with this Agreement.

(i) Rights of Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding Section 9.19(c) hereof, the Administrative Agent may continue to make payments on the Obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, the Administrative Agent receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Section 9.19. The Loan Parties or an applicable representative of or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties shall be entitled to give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties has a an applicable representative, only such representative shall be entitled to give the notice.

The Administrative Agent in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties with the same rights it would have if it were not Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 9.19 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article VIII shall deprive the Administrative Agent of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Section 9.19 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to Section 9.03 hereof or any other section of the Loan Documents.

(j) Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their applicable representative (if any).

(k) Section 9.19 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right To Accelerate.

The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Obligations by reason of any provision in this Section 9.19 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Subject to Section 9.19(d), nothing in this Section 9.19 shall have any effect on the right of the Guaranteed Parties to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations.

(l) Guaranteed Parties Entitled To Rely.

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 9.19, the Guaranteed Parties shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.19(b) hereof are pending, (b) upon a

certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Guaranteed Parties or (c) upon the applicable representatives of Senior Indebtedness of the Loans Parties for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Loan Parties, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 9.19. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 9.19, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 9.19, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Article VIII hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.19.

(m) Administrative Agent To Effectuate Subordination.

A Guaranteed Party by its acceptance of the incurrence of the Obligations agrees to be bound by this Section 9.19 and authorizes and expressly directs the Administrative Agent, on his behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Guaranteed Parties and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties as provided in this Section 9.19 and appoints the Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

(n) Administrative Agent Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Guarantee Parties or the Loan Parties or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 9.19 or otherwise.

(o) Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties on Subordination Provisions.

Each Guaranteed Party by accepting the incurrence of the Obligations acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the incurrence of the Obligations, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Guaranteed Parties, without incurring responsibility to the Guaranteed

Parties and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 9.19 or the obligations hereunder of the Guaranteed Parties to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness of the Loan Parties; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Loan Parties and any other Person.

(p) Sections 9.19(a) through (o) notwithstanding, while the Junior Guaranteed Notes are outstanding, the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Section 9.14 shall instead be subject to the following subordination provisions (and not the subordination provisions in Sections 9.19(a) through (o)).

(i) General. The payment by the Subsidiary Guarantors (by set-off, redemption, repurchase or otherwise) of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Guarantees of the Loans (including with respect to any repurchases of the Loans) will be subordinated in right of payment, as set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash or, at the option of the holders of Designated Senior Debt, in Cash Equivalents, of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ guarantees of Designated Senior Debt whether outstanding on the Effective Date or thereafter incurred.

(ii) Insolvency, Liquidation, etc. Upon any distribution to creditors of any Subsidiary Guarantor, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Subsidiary Guarantor or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets and liabilities, the holders of Designated Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or, at the option of the holders of Designated Senior Debt, in Cash Equivalents, of all obligations due or to become due in respect of such guarantees (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding, at the rate specified in the applicable agreement) before the holders of the Loans will be entitled to receive any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, interest or additional interest, if any, from such Subsidiary Guarantors, on the Loans, and until all obligations with respect to the Designated Senior Debt are paid in full in cash or, at the option of the holders of the guarantees under the Designated Senior Debt, in Cash Equivalents, any distribution of any kind or character from the Subsidiary Guarantor to which the holders of the Loans would be entitled shall be made to the holders of the guarantees under the Designated Senior Debt.

(iii) Defaults Under Designated Senior Indebtedness. Each Subsidiary Guarantor may not make any payment in respect of its Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.14 (except for payments to the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03 of the Agreement and except in Permitted Junior Securities) if:

(A) a payment default on a guarantee of Designated Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period; or

(B) any other default occurs and is continuing on any guarantee of Designated Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor that permits the holders of that guarantee of Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Administrative Agent receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Borrower or the holders of guarantees of such Designated Senior Debt.

(iv) Continuation of Payments on Guarantees. Payments on any such Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.14 of a Subsidiary Guarantor may and will be resumed:

(A) in the case of a payment default described above, when such default is cured or waived; or

(B) in the case of a non-payment default described above, upon the earlier of the date on which such non-payment default is cured or waived and 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated.

(v) Limitations on Payment Blockage Notices. No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until (x) 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (y) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Loans that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No non-payment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice to the Administrative Agent will be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

(vi) Monies Held in Trust. If the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of the Loans when (x) the payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of this Section 9.19 and (y) the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited, then the Administrative Agent will hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Designated Senior Debt. Upon the written request of such holders, the Administrative Agent will deliver the amounts held in trust to the holders or their proper representative.

(q) Anti Layering. The Loan Parties will not, directly, or indirectly, create, incur, issue or assume any Indebtedness that is both subordinate in right of payment to the obligations in respect of Senior Indebtedness or Designated Senior Debt of such Loan Party and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Obligations. For the purposes of the foregoing, no obligation will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any Obligation of any Loan Party solely by reason of any Liens or guarantees arising or created in respect of such obligations of the Loan Party or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.
