Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, an eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

Any prepayment under this Section 2.05(a) shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) may state that it is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory. At any time prior to the Conversion Date, if (i) the Borrower issues any senior unsecured notes or other debt securities pursuant to the Fee Letter or otherwise or (ii) the Borrower (or any direct or indirect parent company of Borrower) makes any public Equity Offering or offering of Disqualified Stock, 100% of the cash proceeds of any such issuance, Equity Offering or offering of Disqualified Stock (net of any fees or expenses related thereto) shall be used to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in each case on or prior to the date that is one Business Day after the receipt of the applicable cash proceeds. Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided that in the event any Initial Lender (or an Affiliate thereof) purchases debt securities

from the Borrower pursuant to a Securities Demand Proposal under (and as defined in) the Fee Letter at an issue price above the level at which such Initial Lender (or its Affiliate) has reasonably determined such debt securities can be resold to a bona fide third party at the time of such purchase (and notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof), the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower in respect of such debt securities may, at the option of such Initial Lender, be applied first to repay the Loans of such Initial Lender (provided that if there is more than one such Initial Lender, then such net cash proceeds will be applied pro rata to repay the Loans of all such Initial Lenders in proportion to such Initial Lenders’ (or Affiliate’s) principal amount of debt securities purchased from the Borrower) prior to being applied to prepay the Loans held by other Lenders.

(i) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender will have the right to require the Borrower to prepay all or any part of such Lender’s Loans at a prepayment price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment, except to the extent the Borrower has previously elected to prepay Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a).

(ii) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Borrower has exercised its right to prepay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (who shall notify the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) (a “Change of Control Offer”):

(A) that a Change of Control has occurred and that each Lender has the right to require the Borrower to prepay such Lender’s Loans at a prepayment price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment;

(B) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control; and

(C) the prepayment date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

(iii) The Borrower will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Borrower and prepays all Loans validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer and the Borrower shall instruct the Administrative Agent to accept payments made by such third parties.

(iv) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

(v) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be paid to the Lenders that elect to accept such offer in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(d) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, if applicable, any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.05.

SECTION 2.06. Termination of Commitments. The Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Loan pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any PIK Interest that may have been added to the principal amount of the Loans pursuant to this Agreement, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

SECTION 2.08. Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 2.08(b) and Section 2.08(d), prior to the date of the earlier of the occurrence of a Demand Failure Event and the Conversion Date, the Loans shall bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; provided, however, that, at any time the Loans are deemed to be or are converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to Article III, the Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; provided further, however, that in each case and subject to Section 2.08(b), the Loans shall never bear interest at a per annum rate exceeding 9.50% (or 10.25% with respect to the principal amount of any Loans with respect to which PIK Interest in accordance with Section 2.08(d) is paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date). On and after the date of the earlier of the occurrence of a Demand Failure Event and the Conversion Date, and subject to Section 2.08(b), the Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate of 9.50% (or 10.25% with respect to the principal amount of any Loans with respect to which PIK Interest in accordance with Section 2.08(d) is paid).

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include interest paid in the form of PIK Interest in accordance with Section 2.08(d)) at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

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

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash on the relevant Interest Payment Date and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that (and subject to the next sentence) interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans may be paid by the Borrower in kind by increasing on a ratable basis the outstanding principal amount of each Loan on the applicable Interest Payment Date by the amount of the interest so paid in kind at the applicable PIK Interest rate set forth in Section 2.08(a) and the definition of “Applicable Rate” (the “PIK Interest”), if, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of cash interest payable on such Interest Payment Date is greater than the Loan Cash Interest Amount for such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) accrued and unpaid interest payable on the Maturity Date and on the first two Interest Payment Dates shall be paid in cash and (ii) if the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries makes an Equity Restricted Payment, then the interest on the Loans payable in respect of the interest period during which such Equity Restricted Payment was made shall be paid entirely in cash. In the event the Borrower incurs any Other Indebtedness, the Borrower shall not at any time pay interest in cash with respect to such Other Indebtedness in excess of the Other Indebtedness Cash Interest Amount as of such time. Following an increase in the principal amount of the Loans as a result of the payment of PIK Interest, the Loans shall bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such payment of PIK Interest. If the Borrower expects to pay any accrued interest on the Loans in kind on any Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the proposed payment of PIK Interest complies with the foregoing provisions of this Section. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to all Lenders.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), provided that to the extent Loans are deemed to be or are converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to Article III, interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) to the extent interest is determined based on clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate. The Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Fees. The Borrower shall pay the Initial Lenders and the Administrative Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the Initial Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be).

SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

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

SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as

otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payment and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall in each case be deemed received, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date on which any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any Lender hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then such Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date on which such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date on which such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

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

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

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.

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

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be prima facie evidence absence manifest error of the participations purchased under this Section 2.13) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to

give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

SECTION 2.14. Conversion Fee. Unless earlier paid pursuant to Section 2.16, if and to the extent any Loans remain outstanding on the Conversion Date, the Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) the Conversion Fee to the Administrative Agent on the Conversion Date, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

SECTION 2.15. Senior Exchange Notes.

(a) (i) At any time or from time to time on or after the Conversion Date, the Loans of any Lender may be exchanged by such Lender in whole or in part for Senior Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Loans (which outstanding principal amount shall include any PIK Interest added thereto in accordance with Section 2.08(d)). In connection with any such exchange, the applicable Lender will not, at the time of such exchange or the next Interest Payment Date, be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Loans being exchanged for Senior Exchange Notes on such date; provided that the Senior Exchange Notes issued to such Lender shall accrue interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date prior to such exchange (even if such date is prior to the first issuance of Senior Exchange Notes). The terms of the Senior Exchange Notes will be set forth in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture, and the Senior Exchange Notes shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Loans and any other unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower.

(ii) Each exchanging Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such exchange (each such notice, an “Exchange Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit D, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of exchange specified in such Exchange Notice. The Exchange Notice shall specify the principal amount of Loans to be exchanged (which shall be, when taken together with Exchange Notices from other Lenders whose requested exchange has not yet been completed, at least $100,000,000 or, if less than $100,000,000, the entire remaining aggregate principal amount of Loans of such Lender), the date of exchange (the “Exchange Date”), which shall be a Business Day, and, subject to the terms of the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture, the name and account of the DTC participant to be credited with such notes (or, if applicable, the name of the proposed registered holder) and the amount of each Senior Exchange Note requested. If any Exchange Date would occur after a Record Date (as defined in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture) and prior to the immediately following Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture), then the Exchange Date shall be deferred until the date of such immediately following Interest Payment Date. Loans exchanged for Senior Exchange Notes pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be

deemed repaid and canceled, and the Senior Exchange Notes so issued shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture. The Senior Exchange Notes shall be issued in the form set forth in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture, with such changes as the Senior Exchange Notes Trustee or the Administrative Agent may request to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture and to comply with any applicable Laws, regulations or trustee procedures or policies, including such changes as are reasonably necessary to cause the Senior Exchange Notes to become eligible for deposit at the DTC; provided that no such changes shall be adverse in any material respect to the interests of the Borrower or the Lenders or would be adverse in any material respect to a holder of Senior Exchange Notes upon issuance.

(iii) As more particularly provided in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture, (A) the interest rate payable by the Borrower under the Senior Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture shall equal 9.50% (plus 0.75% for any interest that is paid in kind rather than cash), (B) the Borrower shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture at a price equal to 102% of par with the proceeds of any qualified equity offering until September 30, 2014, (C) Senior Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture shall mature on May 31, 2018 and (D) the Senior Exchange Notes shall be redeemable as set forth in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture and the applicable form of Senior Exchange Notes attached thereto.

(b) Not later than ten Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of the first Exchange Notice pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(ii), (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the trustee under the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture (which trustee shall be selected by the Borrower and shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (the “Senior Exchange Notes Trustee”)), to execute and deliver, the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture, (ii) the Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Senior Exchange Notes to become eligible for deposit at The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) prior to the initial issuance thereof, including by filing with DTC an appropriately executed letter of representations, and (iii) the Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers and ratings from each of Moody’s and S&P for the Senior Exchange Notes prior to the initial issuance thereof. Not later than ten Business Days following delivery of any Exchange Notice, the Borrower shall (i) deliver a written notice to the Senior Exchange Notes Trustee, directing such Senior Exchange Notes Trustee to authenticate and deliver Senior Exchange Notes as specified in the Exchange Notice and (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect delivery of such Senior Exchange Notes to the requesting Lender on the requested Exchange Date. Each Senior Exchange Note shall be recorded in book-entry form as a beneficial interest in one or more global notes deposited with the Senior Exchange Notes Trustee as custodian for DTC and credited to the account of the exchanging Lender directly or indirectly through the participant in DTC’s system specified by such Lender in the applicable

Exchange Notice, unless the foregoing is not possible after the Borrower’s use of commercially reasonable efforts in which case each Senior Exchange Note shall be issued as a definitive registered note payable to the order of the registered holder specified by the exchanging Lender in the applicable Exchange Notice.

(ii) the Borrower shall have issued the Senior Exchange Notes pursuant to the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture substantially in the applicable form set forth therein, and the Borrower and Senior Exchange Notes Trustee shall have executed and delivered the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture;

(iii) the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent copies of resolutions of its board of directors approving the execution and delivery of the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture and the issuance of the Senior Exchange Notes, together with a customary certificate of the secretary of the Borrower certifying such resolutions; and

(iv) the Borrower shall have caused its counsel to deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed legal opinion in form and substance customary for a transaction of that type to be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, with respect to due authorization, execution and delivery, validity and enforceability of the Senior Exchange Notes and the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture).

(d) If the foregoing conditions set forth in Section 2.15(c) are not satisfied with respect to any exchange of Loans for Senior Exchange Notes, then the applicable Lenders shall retain all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Loans subject to such exchange pursuant to this Agreement until such conditions are satisfied and such Loans are so exchanged for Senior Exchange Notes. The Borrower agrees to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.15(c) with respect to any exchange no later than ten Business Days after its receipt of the Exchange Notice for such exchange.

(e) Nothing in this Section 2.15 shall prevent or limit the ability of the Borrower to repay or refinance the Loans in any other manner not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) It is understood and agreed that following any exchange of Loans for Senior Exchange Notes, such Loans shall be deemed to have been repaid in full.

SECTION 2.16. Securities Demand Failure. If a Demand Failure Event shall occur and be continuing for more than five days, then, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower: (i) the Loans shall be modified to bear interest as provided in the last sentence of

Section 2.08(a), (ii) the optional prepayment provisions of the Loans shall be modified to be subject to the call protection provisions and redemption premiums that would have been applicable to the Senior Exchange Notes, (iii) the Conversion Fee shall be immediately due and payable (if not previously paid), calculated based on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the date of such Demand Failure Event and (iv) the Borrower’s right to consent to any assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b)(i) shall cease to apply. The foregoing shall be the Lenders’ sole and exclusive remedy for a Demand Failure Event.

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

SECTION 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed by reason of any connection between it and any jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than connections arising from the execution, entering into or delivery of any Loan Document, receiving payments thereunder or having been a party to, performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, any Loan Documents), (ii) franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, (iii) any withholding taxes imposed in respect of an Assignee or a Participant (which Assignee or Participant becomes an Assignee or Participant pursuant to an assignment or participation under Section 10.07) on the date on which it becomes an Assignee or Participant to the extent that such tax is in excess of the tax that would have been applicable had the assigning Lender not assigned its interest or the selling Lender not sold a participation arising under any Loan Document (unless such assignment is at the express written request of the Borrower); (iv) U.S. federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA and (v) any withholding taxes imposed as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 3.01(b), (c), (d) or (e) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or a Guarantor is required to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount

deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), the Borrower or such Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent that such a receipt has been made available to the Borrower or such Guarantor, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender. If the Borrower or a Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant taxing authority, or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence that has been made available to the Borrower or such Guarantor, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and such Lender for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure, within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, which written demand shall include a copy of the notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to pay such amount received from the relevant taxing authority. Such notice or assessment or other evidence from the relevant tax authority as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower or such Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) To the extent that it is legally able to do so, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07 and any Participant to which a Lender sells its interest or a portion thereof in accordance with Section 10.07(e)) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which the first payment is due hereunder, an accurate, complete and original signed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) IRS Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero; (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a certificate to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and an IRS Form W-8BEN, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to comply with any other certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if (x) such compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of any Taxes for which a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof, (y) at least thirty (30) days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to which the Borrower shall apply this clause (b), the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative

Agent or Lender in writing that the Administrative Agent or Lender will be required to comply with such requirement and (z) such compliance would not, in the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s reasonable judgment, subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(c) If a payment made to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07 and any Participant to which a Lender sells its interest or a portion thereof in accordance with Section 10.07(e)) under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 3.01(c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(d) Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, (i) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional duly completed and signed forms or certificates (or successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate of U.S. federal withholding tax (A) on or before the date on which any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in the Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(e) The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed IRS Form W-9 or successor form certifying that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date on which such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of

a change in the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Lender or the Administrative Agent is subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on amounts payable for the account of such Lender or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document at a rate in excess of zero percent pursuant to a law in effect at the time when such Lender or Administrative Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement (or changes its place of organization or its place of doing business, or designates a new Lending Office other than at the written request of the Borrower to change such Lending Office), such withholding tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such withholding tax) shall be considered excluded from Taxes and no indemnity payments or additional amounts shall be required to be paid in respect thereof under Sections 3.01(a) or (h) with respect to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, except to the extent such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new Lending Office or change of its place of organization or place of doing business (or assignment), to receive indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) or (h).

(g) The Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(g) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(h) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or Lender in respect of any Loan Document and the Administrative Agent or such Lender pays such Taxes or Other Taxes, or if a withholding agent is required to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantors will jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders promptly for the full amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes so that each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted or deducted, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments under this Section 3.01(h) shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the date on which the Borrower receives from the Administrative Agent or Lender

written demand for payment, which written demand shall include a certificate as to the amount such Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by, or required to be deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (setting forth a reasonable basis for such amount), a copy of the notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to pay such amount received from the relevant taxing authority. Such certificate or such notice of assessment or other evidence from the relevant tax authority as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) An Assignee or a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest subject to the assignment or the participation sold to such Participant at the time of the assignment or the sale of the Participation, unless the Assignment or the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(j) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the taxing authority) to such party in the event that such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Administrative Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Administrative Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information that it deems confidential) to a Borrower or any other Person or require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remission or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(k) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (h) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any

Loan affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by the Borrower; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(k) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (h). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(l) Subject to the foregoing in this Section 3.01, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.

(m) 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 the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes (including excluded from the definition of Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(m).

SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If, prior to the Conversion Date, any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the Loans of such Lender shall be converted to Base Rate Loans, from (a)(i) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or (ii) promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans, until (b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts due, if any, in connection with such conversion under Section 3.05.

SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that by reason of any changes affecting the applicable interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or that such interest rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on LIBOR Loans.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or participation therein (in each case of clause (i) or (ii), to the extent not already reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing, then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph will not apply to any such increased costs or reductions resulting from Taxes or Other Taxes. At any time when any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the Borrower may either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made, cancel any such request therefor by giving the Administrative

Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date on which the Borrower receives any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, if applicable.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such request to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will reasonably compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the LIBOR Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from the Borrower’s receipt of such notice.

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction pursuant to this Section 3.04 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the requested amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

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

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan in violation of its obligation to do so) to prepay or borrow any LIBOR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, which assignment was required by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07(a);

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such LIBOR Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan made by it at the LIBOR rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) The Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be prima facie evidence of the correct amount thereof in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any commercially reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice from the Borrower to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another LIBOR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make LIBOR Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04 or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (ii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans that are the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided, further, that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments

required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. No such replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment (regardless of whether such replaced Lender has executed an Assignment and Assumption or delivered its Notes to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, for so long as any Loans are outstanding, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this Section 6.01 shall be deemed satisfied by posting on its website or providing to the Administrative Agent within 15 days of the time periods after the Borrower would have been required to file annual and interim reports with the SEC (which for the first quarterly report required to be posted or provided after the Closing Date shall be 60 days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter), the financial information (including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section) that would be required to be included in such reports, subject to exceptions permitted to be made and made in connection with such reports under the Existing Senior Notes Indenture, to the extent filed within the times specified above.

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 6.07(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.07(a) hereof, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses or under Section 6.07(a) hereof; provided that all Indebtedness (x) outstanding under the Senior Exchange Notes (including any PIK Notes (as defined in the Senior Exchange Notes Indenture)), any PIK Interest and the amount of any “pay-in-kind” interest paid under any Refinancing Credit Facility with respect to the Loans and the Senior Exchange Notes will be treated as incurred under clause (i)(B)(I) of Section 6.07(b), (y) outstanding under the Loan Documents, the Senior Credit Facilities in the form of term loans and the Existing Senior Notes on the Closing Date will be treated as incurred on the Closing Date under clause (i)(B)(I) of Section 6.07(b) hereof and (z) outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities in the form of revolving credit loans and the Japanese credit facility of B.L.J. Company, Ltd., a Subsidiary of the Borrower, on the Closing Date will be treated as incurred on the Closing Date under clause (i)(A)(I) of Section 6.07(b) hereof; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be permitted to reclassify any Indebtedness originally incurred or treated as incurred under clause (i) of Section 6.07(b) hereof as incurred under Section 6.07(a) hereof; and

(ii) at the time of incurrence, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 6.07(a) and Section 6.07(b) hereof.

Except as set forth above, the accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 6.07.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated or euro-denominated, as the case may be, restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent or euro-equivalent, as the case may be, principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in another currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in another currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated or euro-denominated, as the case may be, restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such

102

U.S. dollar-denominated or euro-denominated, as the case may be, restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

For the purposes of this Agreement (a) unsecured Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (b) Senior Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.07, prior to the Conversion Date, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Borrower will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, in any such case in reliance on Section 6.07(a), Section 6.07(b)(i)(B)(II) (and any Indebtedness in respect of any Refinancing Credit Facility in respect of Indebtedness incurred under such Section (or any subsequent Refinancing Credit Facility in respect of the foregoing)), Section 6.07(b)(iv), Section 6.07(b)(xii), Section 6.07(b)(xiv), Section 6.07(xxiii), Section 6.07(xxiv) or
Section 6.07(xxv) if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, and use of proceeds therefrom, the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock incurred in reliance on such Sections and then outstanding exceeds $200,000,000.

SECTION 6.08. Asset Sales.

(a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate directly or indirectly an Asset Sale, unless:

(i) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

103

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the following items shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or a third party on behalf of such transferee) or for which the Borrower and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply or cause to be applied the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(i) to permanently reduce:

(A) Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(B) Obligations under Senior Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Agreement, and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

104

(C) Obligations under other Senior Indebtedness (and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that the Borrower shall equally and ratably offer to prepay the Loans by, at its option, (1) prepaying Loans as provided under Section 2.05(a) hereof or (2) making an offer as provided in Section 6.08(f) (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 hereof) to all Lenders to prepay their Loans at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of Loans to be prepaid; or

(D) Obligations under Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; or

(ii) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) an acquisition of properties, (C) capital expenditures or (D) acquisitions of other assets, that, in each of (A), (B), (C) and (D), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 6.08(b) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that if during such 450-day period the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a definitive binding agreement committing it to apply such Net Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of clause (ii) of Section 6.08(b) hereof after such 450^th day, such 450-day period will be extended with respect to the amount of Net Proceeds so committed until such Net Proceeds are required to be applied in accordance with such agreement (but such extension will in no event be for a period longer than 180 days) (or, if earlier, the date of termination of such agreement). When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Borrower shall make an offer to all Lenders and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Loans (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to prepay or purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Borrower will commence an Asset Sale Offer within ten Business Days after the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this

105

Agreement, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 450-day period (or such longer period as provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $50.0 million or less.

(d) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness accepted for prepayment or tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans or the Pari Passu Indebtedness accepted for prepayment or surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of the Excess Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall select the Loans and the Borrower shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be prepaid or purchased on a pro rata basis (with adjustments as needed for selection of authorized minimum denominations) based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Loans or such Pari Passu Indebtedness accepted for prepayment or tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero.

(e) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 6.08, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Offers to Prepay by Application of Excess Proceeds.

(i) In the event that, pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof, the Borrower shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

(ii) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the prepayment of Loans and, if required, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been offered, all Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered for prepayment in response to the Asset Sale Offer.

106

(iii) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Borrower shall deliver electronically or send, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each of the Lenders, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Lenders to tender Loans pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Lenders and holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(A) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.08 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

(B) the Offer Amount, the prepayment amount and the Prepayment Date;

(D) that, unless the Borrower defaults in making such payment, any Loan accepted for prepayment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Prepayment Date;

(E) that any Lender electing to have less than all of the aggregate principal amount of its Loans prepaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Loans prepaid in an amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000;

(F) that Lenders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Borrower receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing his election to have such Loan prepaid; and

(G) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Administrative shall select the Loans and the Borrower shall select such
Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Loans or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent so that only Loans in an amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000 shall be prepaid).

(iv) On or before the Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (A) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis as described in clause (iii)(G) of this Section 6.08(f), the Offer Amount of Loans or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Loans tendered and (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Loans or portions thereof so tendered.

107

(g) The Borrower shall not take any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in it ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Equity Interests of Bausch & Lomb.

SECTION 6.09. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and

(ii) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $30.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Borrower approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (A) of this Section 6.09(a).

(b) The provisions of Section 6.09(a) hereof will not apply to the following:

(i) transactions between or among the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(ii) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 6.05 hereof and the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

108

not materially less favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;

(vi) any agreement, instrument or arrangement as in effect as of the Closing Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Borrower to the Lenders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Closing Date);

(vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Closing Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (G) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Borrower to the Lenders when taken as a whole;

(viii) the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions;

(ix) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates of the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement which are fair to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors of the Borrower or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(x) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower to any Permitted Holder or to any employee, director, officer, manager or consultant (or any spouses, successors, executors, administrators, heirs or legatees of any of the foregoing) of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(xi) sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, or related assets, in connection with any Qualified Securitization Facility;

(xii) payments by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Sponsors or the Co-Investors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities,

109

including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower in good faith;

(xiii) payments or loans (and cancellation of any thereof) to any employee, director, officer, manager or consultant (or any spouses, successors, executors, administrators, heirs or legatees of any of the foregoing) of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect parent companies pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement and any employment agreements, stock option plans and other compensatory arrangements (and any successor plans thereto) and any supplemental executive retirement benefit plans or arrangements with any such employees, directors, officers, managers or consultants that are, in each case, approved by the Borrower in good faith;

(xiv) investments by the Sponsors or the Co-Investors in securities of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sponsors or the Co-Investors in connection therewith) so long as (1) the investment is being offered generally to other investors on the same or more favorable terms and (2) the investment constitutes less than 5.0% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities;

(xv) payments by the Borrower (and any direct or indirect parent company thereof) and its Subsidiaries pursuant to tax sharing agreements among the Borrower (and any such parent company) and its Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent of the amount received from Unrestricted Subsidiaries) would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent entity; and

(xvi) intellectual property licenses in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 6.10. Liens. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

(a) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Loans and any related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

110

(b) in all other cases, the Loans or any Guarantees are equally and ratably secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) Liens securing the Loans and any related Guarantees, (ii) Liens on property or other assets of any Guarantor securing Indebtedness, and Liens on property or assets of the Borrower securing Bausch & Lomb Guarantees, in each case permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities, including, but not limited to, any letter of credit facility relating thereto, that was permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred pursuant to clause (i) of Section 6.07(b) hereof and (iii) Liens on property or other assets of any Guarantor securing Indebtedness, and Liens on property or assets of the Borrower securing Bausch & Lomb Guarantees, in each case, permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof; provided that, with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness permitted under this subclause (iii), at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto (but not in any event giving effect to any Cash Equivalents of the Borrower, Bausch & Lomb or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that will be received from the proceeds of such incurrence and not applied in connection therewith), the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 4.50 to 1.00.

SECTION 6.11. Company Existence. Subject to Article VII hereof, the Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (a) its company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Borrower in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 6.12. [Reserved].

SECTION 6.13. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Borrower or any Guarantor), other than a Guarantor or a Securitization Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor unless:

(a) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a Guarantee agreement in a form to be agreed and reasonably acceptable to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such

111

Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes;

(b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; and

(i) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and

(ii) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity;

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to (x) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, (y) any guarantees by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower of guarantees by the Borrower of Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case if such guarantee by the Borrower is not prohibited under this Agreement and (z) guarantees of any Qualified Securitization Facility by any Securitization Subsidiary.

SECTION 6.14. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any property unless:

(a) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (i) incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof and (ii) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Loans pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof;

(b) the consideration received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is at least equal to the fair market value of such property; and

112

SECTION 6.15. Suspension of Covenants.

(a) So long as all interest accrued on the Loans has been paid in cash and not in the form of PIK Interest, during any period of time that (i) the Loans have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”) then, Section 6.05 hereof, Section 6.06 hereof, Section 6.07 hereof, Section 6.08 hereof, Section 6.09 hereof, Section 6.13 hereof and clause (iv) of Section 7.01(a) hereof shall not be applicable to the Loans (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Borrower may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

(c) In the event that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Agreement for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Borrower pays PIK Interest on the Loans, an Event of Default occurs or one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Loans below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Agreement with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Section 6.15 as the “Suspension Period.” The Guarantees of any Guarantors will be suspended during the Suspension Period but will be reinstated on the Reversion Date. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement that otherwise would have violated a Suspended Covenant will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement with respect to the Loans; provided that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 6.05 hereof had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 6.07(b) hereof. In addition, for purposes of clause (3) of Section 6.05(a) hereof, all events set forth in such clause (3) occurring during a Suspension Period shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of Restricted Payments the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted to make pursuant to such clause (3).

113

(e) The Borrower shall deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of any event set forth under this Section 6.15.

ARTICLE VII

SECTION 7.01. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets.

(a) The Borrower may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Borrower is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(i) the Borrower is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made, is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);

(ii) the Successor Company, if other than the Borrower, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Borrower under the Loans pursuant to an amendment hereto or other documents or instruments;

(i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and

SECTION 8.02. Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders and by notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

ARTICLE IX

Administrative Agent

SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX, other than Section 9.09 and Section 9.11, are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the

120

Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in any other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or any Supplemental Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

SECTION 9.03. Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

121

SECTION 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall have first received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall have first been indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults on the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

122

SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall severally indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from (a) such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or (b) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent or such Agent-Related Person, in each case as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or a material breach of any such obligations for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender

123

shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.08. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, subject to the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the

124

Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.09). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,

125

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

SECTION 9.11. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.12. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “joint bookrunner” or “joint lead manager” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) 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 Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period.

SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

(a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i) if to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties from time to time; and

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) the actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or

128

by courier, when signed for, by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(c)), when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.

(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders.

(c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(d) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT-RELATED PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. 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 EFFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Agent-Related Persons have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent-Related Person have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

129

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

SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Agents for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Agents and any Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the repayment of all Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If the Borrower fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees or advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of

130

Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to or arising out of the activities or operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto) (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined in the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such Indemnitee, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such Indemnitee or (z) any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates and that is brought by and to the extent that it involves a claim of an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than an Agent acting in its capacity as such). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or the Borrower have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the indemnity obligations of the Borrower to the extent set forth in this Section 10.05 or the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower to the extent set forth in Section 10.04. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any other Loan Document is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

131

SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date on which such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not, except as permitted by Section 7.01, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) (A) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and to prior written notification to the Administrative Agent, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) in consultation with and, subject to the following clause (B), with the prior written consent of the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof.

(B) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding clause (A) to the contrary, no such consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (1) at any time after September 30, 2013; (2) at any time by a Lender to an

132

Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; (3) at any time if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing; (4) at any time on or prior to September 30, 2013 (but subject to Section 2.16), if the Lender making such assignment was an Initial Lender (or was an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of an Initial Lender) and, following such assignment, such Initial Lender (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) would hold Loans in an aggregate principal amount greater than or equal to 51.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans held by such Initial Lender as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to any repayments thereof and any PIK Interest added thereto); or (5) at any time on or prior to September 30, 2013, if the Lender making such assignment is not an Initial Lender (or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of an Initial Lender).

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (provided that simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of complying with such minimum assignment amount) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (x) only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender and (y) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any Assignment;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms;

133

(D) the Assignee shall comply with Sections 3.01(b), (c), (d) or (e), as applicable;

(E) no such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) to any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or to any Affiliated Lender or (C) to a natural person; and

(F) the Assignee shall represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent that it is not an Affiliated Lender.

(c) Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note to the Borrower, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. In no event shall any assignment be effective if the assigning Lender is the payee of any note and such Note is not assigned and delivered to the Assignee or surrendered to the Borrower. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable by the Borrower to each Lender in respect of their respective Loans, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The requirements of this Section 10.07(d) are intended to result in any and all Loans being in “registered form” for purposes of Sections 163(f), 871, 881 and any other applicable provision of the Code, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

134

Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (d).

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Sections 3.01(b), (c), (d) or (e), as applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Section 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (relating to the eligibility for exemption from withholding for portfolio interest) on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. Entries

135

in the Participant Register shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) An Assignee or a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest subject to the Assignment or the participation sold to such Participant at the time of the Assignment or sale of the participation.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) [Reserved]

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to not use or disclose such Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by a Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its

136

rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent that such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (h) to any Governmental Authority, examiner or self-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents and the Loans. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by the Borrower other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is not clearly identified at the time of delivery as “Public” or is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 hereof.

SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding any account designated as held for the benefit of any Governmental Authority, employees under any benefit plan (other than a rabbi trust) or in escrow for the benefit of a non-Affiliate of the Borrower) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.

137

SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

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

SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

138

SECTION 10.15. GOVERNING LAW.
