(b) The Borrowers shall repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

Section 2.05. Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent, which must be given by a Borrowing Notice. Each such Borrowing Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of ABR Loans.

Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole

multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender will make its Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article 8), (ii) the principal amount of each Initial Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender made to such Borrower in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.03 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article 8) and (iii) the principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of such Incremental Term Loan Lenders made to such Borrower on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article 8). Each Borrower hereby further agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to it from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.13.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.06(c) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, 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 any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, such Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note of such Borrower evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit F-1 or F-2, respectively (a “Term Note” or “Revolving Credit Note”, respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

Section 2.07. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) If, on or prior to December 29, 2017, a Repricing Event occurs, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Loan Lenders, (I) in the case of a Repricing Event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid or repaid and (II) in the case of a Repricing Event described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment (without duplication of any fee paid to such Term Loan Lenders under Section 2.07(b)(I). Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Event.

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Agents, for their own respective accounts, the fees in the amounts and on the dates agreed to in writing by the Company and the Agents.

Section 2.08. Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, immediately after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. A notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Company to the Administrative Agent may be revoked by the Company by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Section 2.09. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided herein), (x) upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, and (y) at any time on any Business Day with no prior notice, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable

thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19, provided, further, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, incurrence of other Indebtedness or consummation of another transaction (such as a Change of Control), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (unless such notice is revoked as contemplated above), together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be applied to the outstanding Term Loans as the Borrower may elect, and absent an election, shall be applied first, pro rata to the installments of Term Loans which are scheduled to mature in the 24-month period immediately following such prepayment and second, to remaining installments of Term Loans pro rata according to the outstanding principal amounts thereof.

Section 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.02), then not later than the next Business Day following such incurrence, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence.

(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, on such date, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount (or, in the case of a Reinvestment Prepayment Date described in clause (b) of the definition thereof with respect to only a portion of the relevant Reinvestment Deferred Amount, an amount equal to such portion) with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event and (ii) any such prepayment shall only be required with the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event received in any fiscal year of the Company in excess of $10,000,000. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.05.

(c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if, for any fiscal year of the Company commencing with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2019, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to (x) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (y) voluntary payments of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans (accompanied by an equal permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) under Section 2.09 during such fiscal year but only to the extent that such prepayments do not (i) occur pursuant to a refinancing

of all or any portion of such Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans or (ii) utilize the Available Amount. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of the date on which the financial statements of the Company referred to in Section 6.01(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, (i) are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) are actually delivered.

(d) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, each Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and replace or cause to be canceled (or Cash Collateralize or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Lender with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Loans and, after the Revolving Credit Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender with respect to) Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow estimated in good faith by the Company to be attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary duties of directors and managers of Foreign Subsidiaries) from being repatriated to the United States or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Company, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as applicable local law delays or will not permit repatriation thereof to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts in compliance with applicable law to effect such repatriation), and once such repatriation to the United States of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under applicable local law, such repatriation to the United States will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days, or such later date as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent, after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans to the extent otherwise required under this Section 2.10, (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation to the United States of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow estimated in good faith by the Company to be attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries or passing on to or use thereof for the benefit of the Company could reasonably be expected to cause significant adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date 180 days from the date on which any such Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to prepayments to the extent

otherwise required under Section 2.10(b) or any such Excess Cash Flow would have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(c), the Company applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by or was attributable to the Company rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated to the United States (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) and (iii) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event or Excess Cash Flow estimated in good faith by the Company to be attributable to non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by organizational document restrictions to the extent not created in contemplation of such prepayments from being passed on to or used for the benefit of the Company, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10 but may be retained by the applicable non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the organizational documents of such non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary delays or will not permit funding such prepayment (the Company hereby agreeing to cause the applicable non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts in compliance with its organizational documents to effect such prepayment), and once such prepayment of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries organizational documents, such prepayment of the Loans to the extent otherwise required under this Section 2.10 will be promptly effected (and in any event not later than two Business Days, or such later date as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent, after such organizational restrictions are removed). For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting the Company’s obligations under this Section 2.10, in no circumstance shall this Section 2.10 require any Foreign Subsidiary to make any dividend of or otherwise repatriate for the benefit of the Company any portion of any Net Cash Proceeds received by such Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to any such Foreign Subsidiary.

(f) All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.19, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount to be repaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(g) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be applied first, pro rata to the installments of Term Loans which are scheduled to mature in the 24-month period immediately following such prepayment, second, to remaining installments of Term Loans pro rata according to the outstanding principal amounts thereof, third, if no Term Loans are outstanding, to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to the full extent thereof, and fourth, if no Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, to Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit (up to an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all such Letters of Credit) (it being understood that any such repayment or Cash Collateralization shall not permanently reduce Revolving Credit Commitments). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10(g), any Term Loan Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any amount prepaid under this Section 2.10 pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each such Term Loan Lender, a “Declining Lender”), and the Company or applicable Subsidiary Borrower shall retain for its own account such amount (the “Declined Amount”) declined by a Declining Lender.

(h) The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (1) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (2) at least one Business Day prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid.

Section 2.11. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior irrevocable notice of such election not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, provided, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any such required notice as described above, or notify the Administrative Agent of an intent to convert any such Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, at least three Business Days prior to the expiration of the then current Interest Period, at the end of such Interest Period, such Loan shall be continued automatically as a Eurodollar Loan with a three-month Interest Period (unless the then final scheduled termination or maturity date for the relevant Facility would be prior to the end of such three-month Interest Period or such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the following proviso, in which case such Loan shall, absent the consent of the Administrative Agent to the contrary (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion) then be converted automatically to an ABR Loan); and provided, further, that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

Section 2.12. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (a) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

Section 2.13. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Subject to Section 2.13(c), each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13(c), each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the ABR in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13 plus 2.00% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.00%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.00% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.00%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

Section 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of each determination of an Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.13(a).

Section 2.15. Inability To Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each Borrower absent demonstrable error) either that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which it agrees to do upon the circumstances giving rise to the initial notice no longer existing), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

Section 2.16. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each Borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by any Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment on account of principal of the Term Loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Terms Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective

outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.

(d) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made first, to ABR Loans under such Facility and second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by any Borrower after 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (1) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (2) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. If such Lender’s share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by any Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent

may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower.

(h) This Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement, including differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and payments made in connection with an assignment expressly permitted under Section 10.06. This Section 2.16 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 and Section 2.22.

(i) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.17. Requirements of Law. (a) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuing Lender in respect thereof (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder or any Issuing Lender; or

(iii) shall impose on any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender, by an amount which such Lender or Issuing Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or issuing, maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue Letters of Credit), or to reduce any amount received or receivable hereunder in respect thereof (whether principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such

Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Company of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s, as the case may be, intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall have reasonably determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender to a level below that which such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such holding company reasonably could have expected to achieve but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Company shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or holding company, as the case may be, for such reduction; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 submitted by any Lender or any Issuing Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. Absent demonstrable error, the Company shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender the amount due under this Section 2.17 and shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 15 days after its receipt of the same. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.18. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable

withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such tax is a Non-Excluded Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18), the amounts received with respect to this agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as practicable thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Agent or Lender and (ii) any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Company with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable 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) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made

without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.18(e)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1)

in the case of a Non-U.S. 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the

meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)

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

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

(D) 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 Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) If a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party, or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly pay over the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund) to such Loan Party, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (including any taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by such Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that each Loan Party, upon request of such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus applicable interest imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender 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 to the Company or any other person.

Section 2.19. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss (other than for lost profits) or expense that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a Borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted to the Company by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.20. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement as notified in writing by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19.

Section 2.21. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of any of Sections 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.20.

Section 2.22. Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Company may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or (ii) during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the establishment of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (A) at the time of such request, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (B) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Facility shall have been paid to the Administrative Agent. The aggregate amount of the Incremental Commitments established under this Section 2.22 together with the aggregate original principal amount of all Alternative Incremental Indebtedness incurred under Section 7.02(o) on any date shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (x) $100,000,000 plus (y) an additional amount such that, immediately after giving effect to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Amendment effectuating such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the First Lien Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (excluding the cash proceeds of such incurrence and assuming that any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Alternative Incremental Indebtedness are secured by a Lien on the assets of the Borrower, whether or not so secured) as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to have been delivered hereunder, in each case, as if such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, had been outstanding, and in the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, fully drawn, on the last day of such fiscal quarter for testing compliance therewith.

(b) Each notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall specify (i) the date on which the Company proposes that the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable shall be effective, which shall be a

date not less than five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) any Person that the Company proposes to become an Incremental Lender, (1) if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and (2) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, must be consented to (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender if such consent would be required under Section 10.06 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable to such Lender or Incremental Lender.

(c) The terms and conditions of any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein, identical to those of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans; provided that the upfront fees applicable to any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall be as determined by the Company and the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility. The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Loan Facility and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Amendment, identical to those of the Term Loans then outstanding. The Incremental Term Loan Facility (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (ii) shall not have, except in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility effected as an increase to an existing Class of Term Loans, a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Terms Loans with the latest Maturity Date, (iii) shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (iv) may contain terms and conditions materially different from those of the Term Loans to the extent (A) such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) such terms and conditions (including but not limited to excess cash flow sweep in the case of an Incremental Term Loan B Facility, covenants and defaults) (w) may, solely in the case of an Incremental Term Loan A Facility, consist of a financial maintenance covenant applicable to such Incremental Term Loan A Facility that is not more onerous or restrictive than the Financial Covenant at such time and (x) except as set forth in the foregoing clause (w), shall not be, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive or burdensome to the Loan Parties than the terms and conditions applicable to the Term Loan Facility, as reasonably determined by the Company unless the Company enters into an amendment to this Agreement with the Administrative Agent (which amendment shall not require the consent of any other Lender) to add such more restrictive terms for the benefit of the Lenders, (y) shall be added by way of an amendment (which shall not require the consent of any Lender) to this Agreement to incorporate such restrictive or burdensome terms to be applicable to the Term Loan Facility or (z) shall be applicable only to periods after the latest Term Loan Maturity Date of the Term Loan Facility existing at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Facility. The interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Company and the lenders thereof; provided that (i) in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility, if the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Loans as of

the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the sum of the Effective Yield then applicable to any tranche of outstanding Term Loans under the Term Loan Facility by more than 0.50% (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Term Loan Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Term Loans under the Term Loan Facility shall automatically be increased by the Term Loan Yield Differential (at each level in the pricing grid) less 0.50%, effective upon the making of the Incremental Term Loans. Any Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment that have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate series (each a “Series”) of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Incremental Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed (in the case of such amendment to this Agreement) by the Company, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Incremental Term Loan Lender (if any) or Incremental Revolving Credit Lender (if any), as applicable, and the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof and determined after giving effect to any extension of credit thereunder of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such extension of credit” or similar language in such Section 5.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment), of the payment of any fees payable in connection therewith and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree; provided that if the proceeds of such Incremental Loans are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, (x)(i) the reference in Section 5.02(a) to the accuracy of the representations and warranties shall solely refer to the accuracy of the representations and warranties that constitute Specified Representations and (ii) the reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in the Specified Representations shall be understood for this purpose to refer to “Material Adverse Effect” or similar definition as defined in the definitive acquisition agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition and (y) the reference in Section 5.02(b) to no Default or Event of Default shall solely refer to an Event of Default under clause (a) or (f) of Article 8. The Borrowers may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22, (i) each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such increase, and each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, immediately after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment (including each Incremental

Revolving Credit Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum Borrowing, pro rata Borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.23. Additional Loan Parties.

(a) Restricted Subsidiary Borrowers. (i) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Domestic Subsidiary (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Restricted Subsidiary Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower the Administrative Agent shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, all documentation and other information reasonably requested by any Lender in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and other documents or information, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of opinions of counsel, from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. If the Administrative Agent consents to an Applicant Borrower becoming a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J (a “Restricted Subsidiary Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Restricted Subsidiary Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Restricted Subsidiary Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) The Obligations of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary Borrower shall be joint and several in nature.

(iii) Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a “Restricted Subsidiary Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.23 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (a) the giving and receipt of notices, (b) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (c) if the Company so elects, the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Restricted Subsidiary Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Restricted Subsidiary Borrower.

(iv) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Restricted Subsidiary Borrower or outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Restricted Subsidiary Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Restricted Subsidiary Borrower on account of any Loans made to it or Letters of Credit issued for its account, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower’s status as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of a Restricted Subsidiary Borrower’s status as such shall not affect its status as a Restricted Subsidiary Guarantor.

(b) This Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.24. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Company shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to each Issuing Lender (but in no event greater than the applicable Fronting Exposure).

(a) Grant of Security Interest. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below.

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.24 or Section 2.25 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the

Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein or in any other Loan Document.

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24 and shall promptly be returned to the Person providing such Cash Collateral following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.25, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided, further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Company, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 2.25. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.07(b) shall be applied at such time or times as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.24; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.24; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction

obtained by any Lender or Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Percentages under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.25(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee otherwise required by Section 2.07 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.24.

(C) With respect to any commitment fee or L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Company or the relevant Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.25(a)(iv), (y) pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time

of such reallocation (provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in Section 2.25(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.24.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure immediately after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.26. Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request (i) Refinancing Debt or (ii) Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments to refinance all or a portion of any existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Refinanced Loans and Commitments”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Loans and Commitments plus any accrued interest plus the amount of any reasonable tender or redemption premium paid in connection therewith or any penalty or premium required to be paid under the Refinanced Loans and Commitments and any reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness and the refinancing of such Refinanced Loans and Commitments. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the applicable Refinanced Loans and Commitments (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and

a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such other amount as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the date on which the applicable Refinancing Amendment is to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)). Refinancing Debt and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Refinancing Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to such Lender’s or Additional Refinancing Lender’s making such Refinancing Debt or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.06 for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, a “Refinancing Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such extension of credit” or similar language in such Section 5.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment), of the payment of any fees payable in connection therewith and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The terms of the Refinancing Debt and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall comply with Section 2.26(c). Substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any such Refinancing Debt or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied to repay the Refinanced Loans and Commitments (including accrued interest, fees and premiums (if any) payable in connection therewith).

(c) The Refinancing Debt and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans or be unsecured and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (ii) shall not be secured by any assets other than Collateral, (iii) with respect to any Refinancing Debt, shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans so refinanced or have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans so refinanced, (iv) with respect to the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (v) shall have terms and conditions, taken as a whole, no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the lenders or investors providing the Refinancing Debt or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to the relevant Refinanced Loans and Commitments (in each case, excluding with respect to the interest rate margin, premiums and other pricing terms and voluntary prepayments) unless the Company enters into an amendment to this Agreement with the Administrative Agent (which amendment shall not require the consent of any other Lender) to add such more favorable terms for the benefit of the Lenders; provided that this clause (v) shall not apply to covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Term Loan Maturity Date, Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date and Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premiums applicable to the Refinancing Debt and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be determined by the Company and the applicable lenders or investors providing such Refinancing Debt and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments. To the extent the terms of the Refinancing Amendment are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in this paragraph (c)), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) In connection with any Refinancing Debt and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments incurred pursuant to this Section 2.26, the Company, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Refinancing Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Refinancing Debt or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26, including any amendments necessary to establish the applicable Refinancing Debt as a new class or tranche of Term Loans, or, if contemplated by such Refinancing Amendment and not inconsistent with the provisions hereof, an increase in any existing class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company in connection with the establishment of, or increases in, such classes or tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the refinanced and non-refinanced tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.26. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum Borrowing, pro rata Borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 3

LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.01. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.04(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers and other Restricted Subsidiaries on any Business Day, during the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (v) the date that is 10 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (w) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero or (iii) the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or any Designated Alternative Currency and (ii) unless the applicable Issuing Lender otherwise agree in its sole discretion, expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall not (absent the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender to the contrary) extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Letters of Credit may be standby Letters of Credit or trade Letters of Credit, as specified in the applicable Application.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

Section 3.02. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Company. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the face amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance.

Section 3.03. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Company will pay a fee (an “L/C Fee”) on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Company shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it of 0.125% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

Section 3.04. L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to

such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if such Issuing Lender makes any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such L/C Disbursement, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, withholding, reduction, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.04(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.04(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit

(whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that if any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

Section 3.05. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by the next Business Day following the date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of an L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such L/C Disbursement and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such L/C Disbursement (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.13(c). If any Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Lender, (i) such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.05 of ABR Loans in the amount of such L/C Disbursement without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 3.05 for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the making of any such Borrowing to be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.01(a) (other than Section 5.02(a) and (c)); provided that if such conditions are not satisfied, the procedures specified in Section 3.04 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply and (ii) the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (other than with respect to any draws on any Letters of Credit after the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) shall be irrevocably obligated to reimburse such Issuing Lender pro rata based upon the Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowing Date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the first date on which a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.05, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.06. Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Article 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(b) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(c) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

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

(e) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrowers under this Article 3 will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Lender. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the applicable Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (i) such Issuing Lender’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender.

Section 3.07. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the

Company and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.08. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article 3, the provisions of this Article 3 shall apply.

Section 3.09. Resignation. Any Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company, and may be removed at any time by the Company by notice to such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of such retiring Issuing Lender. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees owing to the retiring Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(b). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (1) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such previous Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (2) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

Section 3.10. Additional Issuing Lenders. The Company may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement, subject to reporting requirements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to issuances, amendments, extensions and terminations of Letters of Credit by such additional issuing lender. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender and such Lender.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

Section 4.01. Financial Condition. (a) The Company has heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent and Lenders (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the immediately preceding fiscal year (except that, in the case of such balance sheet, such comparison shall be to the last day of the prior fiscal year), reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Deloitte & Touche LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company as of and for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2017, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the equivalent period of the immediately preceding fiscal year (except that, in the case of such balance sheet, such comparison shall be to the last day of such period).

(b) All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the respective periods involved.

Section 4.02. No Change. Since January 31, 2017 there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.03. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (to the extent such concepts are applicable under the law of such jurisdiction), except with respect to the good standing of its Foreign Subsidiaries that do not constitute a material portion of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and where such failure to be in good standing could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (to the extent such concepts are applicable under the law of such jurisdiction) where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.04. Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and

perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to borrow hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to authorize the Borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.04, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.18 and filings required under the Exchange Act in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) consents, authorizations, filings and notices required under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of any Foreign Subsidiary in respect of the grant of a security interest in respect of its Capital Stock pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute (in each case, assuming due execution by the parties other than the Loan Parties party thereto), a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 4.05. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the Borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any material Contractual Obligation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such material Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

Section 4.06. No Material Litigation. Except as described on Schedule 4.06, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing by or against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.07. No Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 4.08. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material tangible Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.03.

Section 4.09. Intellectual Property. Except as described on Schedule 4.09, the Company and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted in all material respects. Except as described on Schedule 4.09, no claim has been asserted in writing to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of any valid basis for any such claim, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as described on Schedule 4.09, the use of Intellectual Property by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any Person in any manner that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10. Taxes. Each of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and state income tax returns and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any material assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority, except (i) any amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (ii) where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates Regulation U.

Section 4.12. Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an ERISA Event has occurred during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any applicable Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code,

except for a Reportable Event or ERISA Event or an instance of non-compliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred other than pursuant to a standard termination under Title IV of ERISA, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen on the assets of the Company and remains in force, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Company or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent.

Section 4.14. Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 4.15. Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Restricted Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15(a) constitute all the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company as of the Closing Date. Schedule 4.15(a) sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of formation of each Restricted Subsidiary and, as to each Restricted Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each Loan Party.

(b) As of the Closing Date there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than warrants, options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, phantom stock units, stock appreciation rights or other similar securities or rights granted to current or former employees, officers, consultants or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to (i) any Capital Stock of any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) in the case of a non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, any Capital Stock of any non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary solely with respect to the Capital Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, in each case, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15(b).

Section 4.16. Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries: (i) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for any of their current or intended operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any of them; (iii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits and (iv) reasonably believe

that: each of their required Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense; any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense;

(b) Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, from or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) interfere with the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, threatened;

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern;

(e) Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law; and

(f) Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Material of Environmental Concern.

Section 4.17. Accuracy of Information, Etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Lender Presentation or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, all taken as a whole, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Lender Presentation, as of the Closing Date), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the

statements contained herein or therein not misleading in any material respect, when taken as a whole; provided, however, that with respect to projected financial information and information of a general or industry specific nature, the Company represents only that such information has been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time made (it being recognized that such information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount).

Section 4.18. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. Subject to Section 4.02(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in the case of the Pledged Stock represented by certificates described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (other than Intellectual Property (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement)), when financing statements in appropriate form are duly completed and filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.18(a) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been completed, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.03), in each case to the extent security interests in such Collateral may be perfected by delivery of such certificates representing Pledged Stock or such filings.

(b) Upon the recordation of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or a short-form security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Collateral Agent) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, together with the financing statements in appropriate form filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.18(a), the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the Recordable Intellectual Property in which a security interest may be perfected by filing in the United States and its territories and possessions, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 7.03.

(c) Each Mortgage (when duly executed and delivered) shall be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in and to the Mortgaged Property described therein and proceeds thereof; and when such Mortgage is filed in the recording office designated by the Company, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in and to the Mortgaged Property described therein and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in such Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances or rights permitted by such Mortgage

or Section 7.03). Schedule 4.18(c) lists, as of the Closing Date, each parcel of owned real property located in the United States and held by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that has a value, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, in excess of $10,000,000.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all 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 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, the Issuing Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall not be required upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the consent of the Company, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its

117

resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing 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 capable of performing the duties of the Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders (subject to the prior written approval of the Company to the extent such approval would have been required under the second sentence of this paragraph) appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as an Issuing Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Company and its Affiliates) 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, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunners or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

118

Section 9.02. Credit Bidding. Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 10.07 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or 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 Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were

119

credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.01. The Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that (i) no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Class)), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, in each case, other than as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (in which case the separate consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required) and (C) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, prepayments) of the principal amount of any Loan under this Agreement or the applicable Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Agreement, or the required date of reimbursement of any L/C Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the

120

scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (in which case the separate consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required), (ii) no such agreement shall by its terms adversely affect the rights of such Class in respect of payments or Collateral in a manner different than such an agreement affects the rights of another Class in respect of payments or Collateral without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders, (iii) without the consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall (A) change any of the provisions of this 10.01 or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders,” “Majority Facility Lenders” or “Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or otherwise modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, (B) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than pursuant to Section 10.16), (C) release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees provided by the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantors, (D) change Section 2.16(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or (E) assign or transfer the rights and Obligations of the Company, and (iv) without the consent of Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, no such agreement shall change any provision with respect to the Financial Covenant.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile or electronic transmission (e.g. .PDF or .TIF email file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document but subject to the proviso in clause (c) of Article 8, (i) no Term Loan Lender shall have any right to exercise, or direct the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising, any right or remedy arising or available hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default if the only such Default or Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing is a Financial Covenant Default, (ii) no Term Loan Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove (X) any amendment or modification

121

to Section 7.01, (Y) any waiver of a Financial Covenant Default or (Z) any amendment, waiver, consent or approval referred to in the proviso to the definition of “Required Lenders” and (iii) it is understood and agreed that any Term Loans held by any Term Loan Lender shall be excluded from any vote of the Lenders (and shall be deemed to not be outstanding) for the purposes described in clause (i) above and clause (ii) above, including in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have directed the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising any such rights or remedies or to approve or disapprove any such amendment, modification or waiver. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall in any way limit or restrict the rights or remedies of the Term Loan Lenders in connection with any Default or Event of Default other than a Financial Covenant Default (whether arising before or after the occurrence of the Financial Covenant Default) or the right of any Term Loan Lenders to approve or disapprove any amendment or modification to any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document or to waive any Default or Event of Default other than a Financial Covenant Default.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders, Majority Facility Lenders and Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders and (z) to permit any such additional credit facilities which are term facilities to share ratably with the Term Loans in the application of prepayments and to permit any such credit facilities which are revolving credit facilities to share ratably with the Revolving Credit Facility in the application of prepayments and commitment reductions; provided that no such consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to make any changes contemplated by Section 2.22.

If the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days after notice thereof.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.22 or Section 2.23.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, (a) no modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (b) no modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to any Issuing Lender shall be effective without the written consent of such Issuing Lender; and (c) the Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 10.06(f) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.

122

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, guarantees, collateral documents 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 (A) effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (B) as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable requirements of law, or (C) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Company hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Company, that it will, or will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 6 including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Borrowing Notice, a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or a notice requesting the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Article 3, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Company agrees, and agrees to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

124

The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Company hereunder (collectively, the “Company Materials”) by posting the Company Materials on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (e.g. Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Company hereby agrees that (w) all Company Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Company Materials “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Company Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent such Company Materials constitute Information, they shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.15); (y) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Company Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Company Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Company notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of effective changes in the terms of the Facilities.

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

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND

125

INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, remedy, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein and in any other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.04. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and each Issuing Lender and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Lenders, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and

126

so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender.

Section 10.05. Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to (i) pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, each Issuing Lender and each other Agent and their respective Affiliates in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the each Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder (provided that payments in respect of legal fees and expenses shall be limited to actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger, Issuing Lenders and each other Agent and their respective Affiliates, and if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to such Persons and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to such Persons) and (ii) to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lenders and the Lenders (provided that payments in respect of legal fees and expenses shall be limited to actual reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to such Persons, and in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to such Persons) for enforcement costs associated with the Facilities.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each other Agent and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to each indemnitee, and if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to such Person and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to such Person) to the extent 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 or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the syndication of the Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees not to assert and to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against the Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable promptly after written demand upon the Company therefor together with a reasonably detailed invoice. Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.05 shall be submitted to Chief Financial Officer (Telephone No. ###-###-####) (Fax No. ###-###-####), at the address of the Company set forth in Section 10.02, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a notice to the Administrative Agent. This Section 10.05(b) shall not apply with respect to taxes other than taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from non-tax claims.

(c) To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Agent under Section 10.05(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender or such other Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (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, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender or such other Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the Aggregate Exposure at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and each party hereto and each Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against any other party

128

hereto, 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.05(b) to the extent any Indemnitee is found so liable.

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Agent.

Section 10.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Agents, the Issuing Lenders, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents, each Issuing Lender and each Lender (provided that a Borrower may merge or consolidate with another Borrower in accordance with Section 7.04).

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than a Competitor or the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to enforce this agreement or to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders, all affected Lenders or all affected Lenders under a particular Facility pursuant to Section 10.01. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in

129

Section 10.07(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section (including the requirement of Section 2.18(e), it being understood that the documentation required by Section 2.18(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender), and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from any change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and interest thereon) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the Borrowers, the Lenders and each Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit B or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender is required, by the Company and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent (A) via an electronic settlement system satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed by the Administrative Agent, manually, for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount (determined as of the date of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and, in the case of the Company, shall not be required if a payment or bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or

130

Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.17, 2.18 and 10.05 in respect of the period prior to such effective date).

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above or otherwise agreed in writing between such assigning Lender and such Assignee, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 or delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its addresses in the New York City a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of demonstrable error, and the Borrowers, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon

131

appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon, if requested by the Assignee, one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Company marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.06(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the Assignee (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register. Each Borrower, at its own expense, promptly upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, payable to the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(g) Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.06, disclose to the Assignee or Participant or proposed Assignee or Participant any information relating to the Company furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company, including notification of the inclusion of, if applicable, material non-public information regarding the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information, each such Assignee or Participant or proposed Assignee or Participant shall agree to comply with the provisions of Section 10.15 or substantially equivalent provisions.

(h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes (other than to a Competitor), including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over it in accordance with applicable law; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

132

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.06(i), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 10.15 any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries may be disclosed only with the Company’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(j) [Reserved].

(k) So long as no Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Company on a non-pro rata basis through (and solely through) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:

(i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Company may offer to purchase or take assignment of shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date;

(ii) the Company will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;

133

(iii) Borrowings shall not be made under the Revolving Credit Facility to directly or indirectly fund the purchase or assignment;

(iv) any Term Loans purchased by the Company shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by the Company;

(v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any noncash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by the Company shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA;

(vi) the cancellation of Term Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.09 or 2.10, but the face amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in clause (iv) above shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans;

(vii) [Reserved];

(viii) immediately after giving effect to any purchase or assignment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.06(k), the sum of (x) the excess of the Revolving Credit Commitments over the Revolving Extensions of Credit as of such date and (y) the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date shall not be less than $100,000,000; and

(ix) at the time of the consummation of each purchase and assignment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.06(k), the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate as to compliance with the preceding clause (viii).

Section 10.07. Adjustments; Set Off. (a) Except (x) to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility (or provides for the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) to the extent any payment is obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or L/C Disbursements to any Assignee or Participant (other than to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof, except pursuant to Section 10.06(k)), if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in paragraph (f) of Article 8, or otherwise), in a proportion greater than its pro rata share of any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefitted Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s

134

Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Lender’s Obligations deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff as set forth in clause (b) below by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) and each Issuing Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or such Issuing Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 10.08. Counterparts. (a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. by .PDF or ..TIF file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

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

Section 10.09. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid, illegal, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, prohibition or unenforceability without affecting, impairing or invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity, illegality, prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not affect, impair, invalidate or render

135

unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 10.12. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

136

Section 10.13. Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may legally and effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency in New York, New York, on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender hereunder in Dollars shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars in the amount originally due to such Lender with the judgment currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender against the resulting loss; and if the amount of Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Lender, such Lender agrees to repay such excess.

Section 10.14. Acknowledgments. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) no Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to such Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;

(d) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Agents and the Lenders or among the Borrowers and the Lenders.

Section 10.15. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below); provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender from disclosing any such Information (a) to any Agent, any other Lender or any Affiliate of any thereof, (b) subject to Section 10.06(g), to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee or to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, in each case, that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such

137

Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section 10.15, (h)to any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization) or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (j) with the consent of the Company. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party and related to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to such disclosure. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.15 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

Section 10.16. Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the request of the Company in connection with (i) any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents (other than a Disposition to a Loan Party), (ii) any merger, consolidation or amalgamation permitted by the Loan Documents or (iii) any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement) take such actions as shall be required or appropriate to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition (but not in any proceeds thereof) or any Capital Stock necessary to permit consummation of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation (provided, to the extent applicable, the Company shall comply with Section 6.08 in connection therewith), and to release any guarantee obligations under the Loan Documents of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition or any entity that is not the surviving entity of any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition, merger, consolidation or amalgamation in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, contingent indemnity obligations not then due and payable and contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or all outstanding Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized, or in respect of which back-stop letters of credit have been provided, in each case in an amount equal to 103% of the aggregate outstanding face amount thereof and pursuant to arrangements otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender), upon the request of the Company, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of,

138
