(e) any Extended Term Loan or any Extended Revolving Loan, the Applicable Margin shall be as set forth in the Loan Modification Agreement relating to such Loan.

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(c); provided that the pricing level as set forth above in clause (a)(ii)(A) and (b)(ii)(A), as applicable, shall apply as of (x) the first Business Day after the date on which a Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered but was not delivered, and shall continue to so apply to and including the date on which such Compliance Certificate is so delivered (and thereafter the pricing level otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply) and (y) the first Business Day after an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, and shall continue to so apply to but excluding the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived (and thereafter the pricing level otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply).

In the event that any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 or a Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(c) are shown to be inaccurate at any time that this Agreement is in effect and any Loans or Commitments are outstanding hereunder when such inaccuracy is discovered and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower Representative shall promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter) deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and (ii) from and after the date such corrected Compliance Certificate is delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall interest be calculated by reference to the higher Applicable Margin prior to the date such corrected Compliance Certificate is delivered). For the avoidance of doubt, the nonpayment of any interest as a result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.14(c)) as a result thereof.

“Applicable Requirements”: in respect of any Indebtedness, Indebtedness that satisfies the following requirements:

(a) other than Customary Bridge Financings and Permitted Early Maturity Indebtedness: (i) if such Indebtedness constitutes First Lien Obligations, such Indebtedness (x) does not mature prior to the then Latest Maturity Date and (y) does not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans; and (ii) for any other Indebtedness, such Indebtedness does not mature or have scheduled amortization or payments of principal and is not subject to mandatory redemption or prepayment (except customary asset sale or change of control provisions), in each case prior to the date that is 91 days after the then Latest Maturity Date at the time such Indebtedness is incurred (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness repaid or satisfied and discharged on the date of such incurrence);

-4-

(b) if such Indebtedness is secured by the Collateral, a Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness has become party to an Intercreditor Agreement (or any Intercreditor Agreement has been amended or replaced in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which results in such Senior Representative having rights to share in the Collateral on a pari passu basis or a junior lien basis, as applicable;

(c) to the extent such Indebtedness is secured, it is not secured by any property or assets of Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the Collateral (it being agreed that such Indebtedness shall not be required to be secured by all of the Collateral); provided that Indebtedness that may be incurred by Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2 may be secured by assets of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries;

(d) if such Indebtedness is incurred by (i) any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Indebtedness shall not be guaranteed by any Loan Party and (ii) any Borrower or any Guarantor, such Indebtedness shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Borrowers or the Guarantors and shall not have any obligors other than the Borrowers or the Guarantors; and

(e) the other terms and conditions of such Indebtedness (excluding pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or optional redemption provisions and financial covenants) are (i) taken as a whole, not materially more favorable to the providers of such Indebtedness than those set forth in the Loan Documents, (ii) applicable only after the then Latest Maturity Date, (iii) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (iv) terms that are conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the applicable Lender pursuant to an amendment between the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers or (v) on market terms for “high yield” notes of the type being incurred at the time of incurrence (it being agreed that such Indebtedness may be in the form of notes or a credit agreement);

provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or a shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Initial Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirements of this definition, shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirements of this definition, unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Initial Borrower within such period that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it disagrees).

“Application”: an application, in such form as the applicable Issuing Lender may specify from time to time, requesting such Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit.

“Approved Electronic Communications”: as defined in Section 11.2.

(e) Prior to the first delivery of financial statements under Section 6.1, any ratio or other financial metric that is measured based on the most recent financial statements delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 shall instead be based on (i) until the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q referred to in Section 6.15 is filed with the SEC, the most recent financial statements of the Initial Borrower delivered under the Original Credit Facility and (ii) after such filing, the financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q referred to in Section 6.15.

1.3 Accounting. For purposes of all financial definitions and calculations in this Agreement, including the determination of Excess Cash Flow, there shall be excluded for any period the effects of purchase accounting (including the effects of such adjustments pushed down to the Initial Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in component amounts required or permitted by GAAP and related authoritative pronouncements (including the effects of such adjustments pushed down to the Initial Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries) as a result of any acquisition consummated prior to the Effective Date, any Permitted Acquisitions, or the amortization or write-off of any amounts thereof.

1.4 Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, in connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(a) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, or requires the absence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(b) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA);

in each case, at the option of the Initial Borrower (the Initial Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) on a Pro Forma Basis as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recently completed Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Initial Borrower would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Initial Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.

1.5 Financial Ratio Calculations. With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of any Loan Document that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio, Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Total Assets and/or Consolidated EBITDA) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of such Loan Document that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio, Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage

-71-

Ratio, Total Assets and/or Consolidated EBITDA) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to such Incurrence-Based Amounts.

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

2.1 Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a single Term Loan to the Borrowers on the Effective Date in Dollars and in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender on the Effective Date. The Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower Representative and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12. The Term Commitments (excluding any Incremental Term Commitments or Other Term Commitments) shall automatically terminate at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Effective Date. Once borrowed and repaid, no Term Commitment may be re-borrowed.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing of Term Loans. The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, substantially (A) in the form of Exhibit G or (B) by telephone, provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice in the form of Exhibit G. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (A) 12:00 P.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Date, in the case of ABR Loans, and (B) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans (in each case or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall agree) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Term Loans on the Effective Date and specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the Type of Loan, (iii) the applicable Interest Period, and (iv) instructions for remittance of the Term Loans to be borrowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notices may be conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Date or, with respect to Incremental Term Loans, may be conditioned on the occurrence of any transaction utilizing such Incremental Term Loans. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Effective Date, each such Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term Loan or Term Loans to be made by such Lender. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent crediting such account or by wire transfer as is designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative (or as otherwise directed by the Borrower Representative), with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Term Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Repayment of Term Loans.

(a) The principal amount of the Term Loans (excluding Other Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and, solely in the case of clause (ii), Extended Term Loans) of each Term Lender shall be repaid (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing the last Business Day of September 2017, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans on the Effective Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.17(b)) and (ii) on the Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Amount on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, (i) each Incremental Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to such Incremental Term Loan, (ii)

-72-

each Other Term Loan shall be due and payable on the maturity date thereof as set forth in the Refinancing Amendment applicable thereto together and (iii) each Extended Term Loan shall be due and payable on the maturity date thereof as set forth in the Permitted Amendment applicable thereto together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(c) The Obligations of each of the Borrowers in respect of the Term Loans, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, are joint and several.

2.4 Revolving Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers in Dollars from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the sum of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations at such time and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Swingline Loans at such time, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During the Revolving Commitment Period the Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, repaying or prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower Representative and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.12.

(b) The Borrowers shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans, to but excluding the date of payment.

2.5 Procedure for Borrowing of Revolving Loans. The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that (x) any such borrowings on the Effective Date shall not in the aggregate exceed $20,000,000 (exclusive of any Letters of Credit issued on the Effective Date) and (y) the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice by (A) telephone or (B) a Swingline Note; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swingline Note. Each such Swingline Note must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans (in each case or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall agree), specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor and (iv) instructions for remittance of the applicable Loans to be borrowed; provided, however, that if the Borrower Representative wishes to request Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall agree), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notices may be conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Date or, with respect to the closing of Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase, may be conditioned on the occurrence of any transaction utilizing the applicable Incremental Revolving Loans. Not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time, three (3)

-73-

Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrowers, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrowers at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower Representative in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting such account or by wire transfer as is designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative, with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.6 Swingline Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrowers; provided that (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans at any time, when aggregated with the Outstanding Amount of the Swingline Lender’s other Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower Representative shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrowers may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(b) The Borrowers shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Termination Date.

2.7 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a) Whenever a Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans, the Borrower Representative shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date) confirmed promptly in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit J or such other form as approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Promptly thereafter, on the Borrowing Date specified in the notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the applicable Borrower an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender by crediting such account or by wire transfer as is designated in writing to the Swingline Lender by the Borrower Representative.

-74-

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, and on the date that is five (5) Business Days after a Swingline Loan is made (unless the Borrower Representative directs otherwise) shall, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one (1) Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 9.1(g) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b) or upon the request of the Swingline Lender, purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans at such time that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans or that the Swingline Lender otherwise requests Revolving Lenders to purchase participation interests in.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or any Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

-75-

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.6 and 2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans at such time and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from a Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with Section 11.1.

2.8 Commitment Fees, etc.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, in accordance with its Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Commitment Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Total Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.24. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Revolving Commitment Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 5 is not satisfied, and shall be due and payable in arrears on each applicable Fee Payment Date. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Commitment Fee Rate during any fiscal quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such fiscal quarter that such Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (and their respective affiliates) the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with such Persons and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

2.9 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower Representative shall have the right, upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s notice (to the extent there are no Revolving Loans outstanding at such time) or not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice (in any other case) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that if any such notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments indicates that such termination is conditioned upon one or more conditions precedent, such notice of termination may be conditioned on and/or revoked if such conditions precedent are not satisfied and any Eurodollar Loan that was the subject of such notice shall be continued as an ABR Loan. Any termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Commitments as so reduced; provided that if the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans at such time is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Initial Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit, in each case, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof or, if less than $1,000,000, the amount of the Revolving Commitments, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.9 (except in

-76-

the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (to the extent all Revolving Loans are not being prepaid) and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

2.10 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, in each case, without premium or penalty, upon notice in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and received by the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the prepayment date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the prepayment date, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20; provided, further, that if such notice of prepayment indicates that such prepayment is conditioned upon one or more conditions precedent, such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such conditions precedent are not satisfied and any Eurodollar Loan that was the subject of such notice shall be continued as an ABR Loan. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans, other than in connection with a repayment of all Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Effective Date, any Borrower (x) makes any prepayment of the Initial Term Loans with the proceeds of any Repricing Transaction described under clause (i) of the definition of Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction under clause (ii) of the definition of Repricing Transaction, the Borrowers shall on the date of such prepayment or amendment, as applicable, pay to each Lender (I) in the case of such clause (x), 1.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid and (II) in the case of such clause (y), 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the Initial Term Loans affected by such Repricing Transaction and outstanding on the effective date of such amendment.

2.11 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (other than any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by any such Person in accordance with Section 7.2), concurrently with, and as a condition to closing of such transaction, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in clause (g) of this Section 2.11.

(b) Subject to clause (d) of this Section 2.11, if, for any Excess Cash Flow Period, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the ECF Percentage for such period of such Excess Cash Flow over (ii) to the extent not funded with (x) the proceeds of Indebtedness constituting “long term indebtedness” (or a comparable caption) under GAAP (other than Indebtedness in respect of any revolving credit facility) or (y) the proceeds of Permitted Cure Securities applied pursuant to Section 9.4, the aggregate amount of (1) all Purchases by any Permitted Auction Purchaser (determined

-77-

by the actual cash purchase price paid by such Permitted Auction Purchaser for such Purchase and not the par value of the Loans purchased by such Permitted Auction Purchaser) pursuant to a Dutch Auction permitted hereunder, (2) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans made by the Borrower (but, in the case of Revolving Loans, only to the extent of a concurrent and permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments ) and (3) voluntary prepayments and repurchases (to the extent of the actual cash purchase price paid for such loan buyback and not the par value) of Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) that are First Lien Obligations, in each case during such Excess Cash Flow Period or following such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to such Excess Cash Flow Application Date shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in clause (g) of this Section 2.11; provided that no such prepayment shall be required to be made if the payment would be an amount less than $10,000,000. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than (i) ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements of the Initial Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders or (ii) if such financial statements are actually delivered prior to the date on which they are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such financial statements are actually delivered (but in no event later than the date set forth in clause (i) of this sentence). Any prepayment amounts credited pursuant to clause (ii) against such amount in clause (i) above shall be without duplication of any such credit in any prior period or subsequent period.

(c) Subject to clause (d) of this Section 2.11, if, on any date, the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or any Recovery Event in excess of $20,000,000 in any fiscal year, then, unless the Initial Borrower has determined in good faith that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be reinvested in its business (a “Reinvestment Event”), an aggregate amount equal to the Asset Sale Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days of such date to prepay (A) outstanding Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.11 and (B) at the Initial Borrower’s option, outstanding Indebtedness that constitutes First Lien Obligations (collectively, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days following each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, shall be applied to prepay the outstanding Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(g). Any such Net Cash Proceeds may be applied to Other Applicable Indebtedness only to (and not in excess of) the extent to which a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event is required under the terms of such Other Applicable Indebtedness (with any remaining Net Cash Proceeds applied to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), unless such application would result in the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness receiving in excess of their pro rata share (determined on the basis of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time) of such Net Cash Proceeds relative to Term Lenders, in which case such Net Cash Proceeds may only be applied to Other Applicable Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with outstanding Term Loans. To the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid or prepaid with any such Net Cash Proceeds, the declined amount of such Net Cash Proceeds shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds would otherwise have been required to be applied if such Other Applicable Indebtedness was not then outstanding).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including clauses (b) and (c) above), to the extent that the Initial Borrower has determined in good faith that (i) any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event by a Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Subsidiaries (or branches of Subsidiaries) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the relevant Borrower(s) (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of the relevant directors), (ii) such repatriation would

-78-

present a material risk of liability for the applicable Subsidiary or its directors or officers (or gives rise to a material risk of breach of fiduciary or statutory duties by any director or officers) or (iii) in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries, such repatriation or any distribution of the relevant amounts would result in material adverse Tax consequences, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times set forth in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary or branch (the Initial Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Subsidiary or branch to promptly take commercially reasonable actions to permit such repatriation without violating applicable local law, presenting a material risk as described in clause (ii) above, or incurring material adverse Tax consequences; provided, however, that no such commercially reasonable actions shall be required to be taken later than 12 months after the date on which the proceeds of Term Loans were or would have been required to be prepaid hereunder using the proceeds of the applicable Asset Sale, Recovery Event or Excess Cash Flow), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under such applicable local law or material adverse Tax consequences would no longer result from such repatriation, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11.

(e) In the event the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans at any time exceeds (the “Revolving Excess”) the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately repay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans and Collateralize Letters of Credit to the extent necessary to remove such Revolving Excess.

(f) The Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L or such other form as approved by the Administrative Agent of each prepayment required under this Section 2.11 not less than three (3) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree) prior to the date such prepayment shall be made (each such date, a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Date and (ii) the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of such notice and of each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each such Lender may reject all of its Pro Rata Share of the prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the prepayment to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the prepayment to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such prepayment. Subject to any requirements of any other Indebtedness, any Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrowers (such retained amount, the “Retained Declined Proceeds”). The Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.11, a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment.

(g) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.17(b); provided that at any time after the Term Loans have been repaid or prepaid in full, the provisions of this sentence notwithstanding, any prepayments required by this Section 2.11 shall be applied first, to prepay any outstanding Revolving Loans, and second, to Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit, in each case, without any reduction of the Revolving Commitments. The application of any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made on a pro rata basis regardless of Type. Each prepayment of

-79-

the Loans under this Section 2.11 (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (to the extent all Revolving Loans are not being prepaid) and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(h) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.11, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.11 other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder with the Administrative Agent, to be held as security for the obligations of the applicable Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from any Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Eurodollar Loans in accordance with this Section 2.11 (determined as of the date such prepayment was required to be originally made); provided that such unpaid Eurodollar Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with Section 2.15 until such unpaid Eurodollar Loans have been prepaid. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from any Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Loans in accordance with this Section 2.11 (determined as of the date such prepayment was required to be originally made). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any amounts held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (h) pending application to any Eurodollar Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of such Eurodollar Loans prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election substantially in the form of Exhibit G or such other form as approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower Representative may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans of any Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election substantially in the form of Exhibit G or such other form as approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided, however, that if the Borrower Representative wishes to request Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing conversion, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders; provided, further that, no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any

-80-

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely notice requesting any conversion from one Type of Loan to another, then the applicable Loans shall be continued as, or converted to, ABR Loans. If the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion, then the applicable Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans. Any such automatic conversion to ABR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower Representative giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G or such other form as approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed continuation date; provided, however, that if the Borrower Representative wishes to request Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders; provided, further that, to the extent the Required Lenders provide written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that if the Borrower Representative shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.13 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of (x)

-81-

any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (y) any Commitment Fee or (z) any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an ABR Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to such ABR Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an ABR Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Loan, the date of conversion of such ABR Loan to such Eurodollar Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower Representative, deliver to the Borrower Representative a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

2.16 Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Illegality.

(a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period (i) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any

-82-

outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do promptly once such condition no longer exists), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower Representative have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which shall, if necessary to avoid illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR), in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in clause (a) above.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under paragraphs (i) or (ii) of this clause (b), all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

For purposes of this clause (b), a notice to the Borrower Representative by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower Representative.

(c) If any Secured Party determines, acting reasonably, that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Secured Party to hold or benefit from a Lien over real property of the Loan Parties pursuant to any law of the United States or any State thereof, such Secured Party may notify the Administrative Agent and disclaim any benefit of such security interest to the extent of such illegality; provided that such determination or disclaimer shall not invalidate, render unenforceable or otherwise affect in any manner such Lien for the benefit of any other Secured Party.

2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by any Borrower on account of any Commitment Fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages, Incremental Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

-83-

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata to the Term Lenders according to the respective Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each optional prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower Representative in the notice described in Section 2.10 and, if no direction is given by the Borrower Representative, in the direct order of maturity. The amount of each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower Representative in the notice described in Section 2.11 and, if no direction is given by the Borrower Representative, in the direct order of maturity. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata to the Revolving Lenders according to the respective Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. Except as otherwise provided hereunder, if any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be required on the next Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor (a “Funding Default”), such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrowers. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower Representative prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrowers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers are making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the

-84-

Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.

2.18 Requirements of Law.

(a) Subject to clause (c) of this Section 2.18, if any Change in Law shall (i) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application, any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of Taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, (ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or (iii) impose on such Lender any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) Subject to clause (c) of this Section 2.18, if any Lender shall have determined that compliance by such Lender (or any corporation controlling such Lender) with any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Loans or Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.18(b)), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including clauses (a) and (b) above), reimbursement pursuant to this Section 2.18 for (A) increased costs arising from any market disruption (i) shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market and (ii) may only be requested by Lenders representing the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the applicable Facility and (B) increased costs because of any Change in Law resulting from clause (x) or (y) of the proviso to the definition of “Change in Law” may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrowers under syndicated credit facilities comparable to those provided hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the additional amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly after, and in any event within, ten (10) Business Days of, receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such Lender’s intention

-85-

to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) This Section 2.18 shall not apply to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (each of which is provided for in Section 2.19) or any Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence of Section 2.19(a).

2.19 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Loan Parties under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, including any penalties, interest and additional amounts with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding (i) net income Taxes, franchise Taxes (which franchise Taxes are imposed in lieu of net income taxes), and branch profits Taxes, in each case, imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) U.S. federal withholding Taxes on amounts payable to any Lender to the extent imposed pursuant to a Requirement of Law (or official interpretation or administration thereof) in effect at the time the relevant Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment, if any) to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a), (iii) Taxes that are attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (g) of this Section 2.19 and (iv) Taxes imposed by sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as in existence on the date of this Agreement (and any amended or successor versions of such provisions that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations thereunder and official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any U.S. or non-U.S. fiscal, tax or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among Governmental Authorities entered into in connection with the implementation of the foregoing (“FATCA”) (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, including any penalties, interest, and additional amounts with respect thereto, the “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable by the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that, after any required withholdings or deductions have been made (including any withholdings or deductions attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 2.19) each Lender (or in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, such Administrative Agent) receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes not been levied or imposed. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor (which written demand shall be made no later than 180 days after the earlier of (1) the date on which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, received written demand for payment of the applicable Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes from

-86-

the relevant Governmental Authority or (2) the date on which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, paid the applicable Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, to make such written demand shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, to demand indemnity and reimbursement for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, except to the extent that such failure or delay results in prejudice to the Borrowers) for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by any Loan Party under any Loan Document (including Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) paid by such Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be submitted to the Borrower Representative at the address specified under Section 11.2.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower Representative shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower Representative showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Lender (or Assignee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 and a Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E (in each case, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (in each case, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); provided further that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner. Any Lender (or Assignee) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Person claiming complete exemption from backup withholding on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Representative two copies of (i) if the Administrative

-87-

Agent is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, IRS Form W-9, or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a duly executed U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a United States person with respect to payments under the Loan Documents. The forms and certification referenced in the previous three sentences (the “Forms”) shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as applicable, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall deliver the Forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any Forms previously delivered by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and upon the written request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered Form to the Borrower Representative (or any other form or certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall not be required to deliver any Form pursuant to this paragraph (d) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Loan Party is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s reasonable judgment, as applicable, such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to the relevant Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the relevant Loan Party under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the relevant Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Loan Parties pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the

-88-

applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(h) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term Lender shall include any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender.

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

2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.18 or 2.19 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower Representative, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of

-89-

the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.19. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect in any manner the obligation of the Borrower(s) to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.22 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender (a) in the event that a Loan Party’s obligation to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments under Section 2.19 is triggered with respect to such Lender, (b) that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 2.18, (c) that becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (d) that has not consented to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 11.1 that requires the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders under a particular Facility or each Lender affected thereby and which has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.1, with a Lender or Eligible Assignee; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) in the case of clause (a) or (b), prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 sufficient to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.18 or 2.19, (iii) the replacement financial institution or other Eligible Assignee shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts (or, in the case of clause (d) as it relates to provisions affecting a particular Facility, Loans or other amounts owing under such Facility) owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution or other Eligible Assignee, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be deemed to have made such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6, (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.18, 2.19(a) or 2.19(b), as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Upon any such assignment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof (or, in the case of clause (d) as it relates to provisions affecting a particular Facility, a Lender under such Facility); provided that any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such replaced Lender. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Borrower agrees that in connection with the replacement of a Lender and upon payment to such replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid under this Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be authorized, without the need for additional consent from such replaced Lender, to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative and, to the extent required under Section 11.6, the Borrower Representative and the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.22 and Section 11.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22, in the event that a Lender which holds Loans or Commitments under more than one Facility does not agree to a proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver which requires the consent of all Lenders under a particular Facility, the Borrowers shall be permitted to replace the non-consenting Lender with respect to the affected Facility and may, but shall not be required to, replace such Lender with respect to any unaffected Facilities.

2.23 Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6) (promptly after the Borrower Representative’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans.

2.24 Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) The Borrowers may, at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans and/or one or more increases in the amount of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding (the commitments thereof, the “Incremental Term Commitments”, the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”, and a Lender making such loans, an “Incremental Term Lender”) and/or one or more additional tranches of revolving loans (the “Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments”) and/or one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”, the loans thereunder and under any Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”, and a Lender making such a commitment, an “Incremental Revolving Lender”); provided that:

(i) [reserved];

(ii) after giving effect to any such Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments, any such Revolving Commitment Increase and any such Incremental Term Loans, the aggregate amount of such Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments, Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of

(x) an unlimited amount so long as:

(1) with respect to any such Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase that constitutes First Lien Obligations, the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, or, if incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition,

(2) with respect to any such Incremental Term Loans that constitutes Junior Lien Obligations, the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, or, if incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition, or

(3) with respect to any such Incremental Term Loans that is unsecured, either (I) the Total Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 5.00 to 1.00, (II) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 or (III) if incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, the Total Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed the Total Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition;

in each case where such Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and/or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as applicable, is calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (but without giving effect to the cash proceeds remaining on the balance sheet of such Incremental Term Loans or of any Incremental Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to such Revolving Commitment Increase or such Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments), as of the most recently completed Test Period (calculated assuming that such Revolving Commitment Increase or Additional/Replacement

-91-

Revolving Commitments is fully drawn throughout such period) (without giving effect to any contemporaneous borrowing under clause (y) or clause (z) below), plus

(y) the amount of all prior voluntary prepayments, loan buybacks (to the extent offered to all similarly situated Lenders and to the extent of the actual cash purchase price paid for such loan buyback and not the par value of the Loans) and commitment reductions (to the extent not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness constituting “long term indebtedness” (or comparable caption) under GAAP (other than Indebtedness in respect of any revolving credit facility)) of Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans and Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(vi) that constitutes First Lien Obligations (in each case, with respect to any revolving loans, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in such revolving commitments), plus

(z) an amount equal to the greater of (1) $160,000,000 and (2) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA as of the most recently completed Test Period, less the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred under Section 7.2(b)(vi)(z);

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount available to the Borrowers pursuant to clause (y) and clause (z) shall be available at all times and shall not be subject to the ratio tests described in clause (x);

provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers incur Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or a Revolving Commitment Increase under clause (x) above on the same date that they incur indebtedness under clauses (y) or (z) above, then the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and/or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under clause (x) without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under clauses (y) or (z) above;

provided, further, unless the Borrowers elect otherwise, any Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed incurred first under clause (x) above, with the balance incurred under clauses (y) and (z) above; and

provided, further, that Indebtedness Incurred under clauses (y) or (z) above shall automatically be reclassified as being Incurred under clause (x)(1) above upon achievement of a Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 (if such Indebtedness constitutes First Lien Obligations), clause (x)(2) above upon achievement of a Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 (if such Indebtedness constitutes Junior Lien Obligations), clause (x)(3)(I) above upon achievement of a Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 (if such Indebtedness is unsecured) or clause (x)(3)(II) above upon achievement of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 (if unsecured);

(iii) with respect to any such Incremental Term Loans that constitutes Junior Lien Obligations, an Intercreditor Agreement (or any Intercreditor Agreement has been amended or replaced in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) has been entered into;

-92-

(iv) other than Customary Bridge Financings and Permitted Early Maturity Indebtedness, the Incremental Term Loans shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and the Incremental Revolving Loans shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Termination Date;

(v) other than Customary Bridge Financings and Permitted Early Maturity Indebtedness, the Incremental Term Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans;

(vi) subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, (x) the interest rates (and, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, the amortization schedule) applicable to any such Incremental Term Loans or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, and (y) any such Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not have amortization or scheduled mandatory commitment reductions (other than at the maturity thereof);

(vii) no Default or Event of Default (or, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(g)) shall exist on the Incremental Facility Closing Date with respect to any Incremental Amendment entered into in connection therewith (and after giving effect to any Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans made thereunder);

(viii) with respect to any Incremental Term Loans (other than in respect of Customary Bridge Financings) Incurred on or prior to the date that is twelve months following the Effective Date, if the all-in-yield (whether in the form of interest rate margins, including interest rate floors (subject to the first proviso in this clause (vii) and the exclusion in the definition of OID) or OID (with any OID being equated to interest margin based on an assumed four-year life to maturity (or, if shorter, the remaining life to maturity thereof) for purposes of determining any increase to the Applicable Margin under the Term Facility)), in each case paid or payable by a Borrower to Lenders or other institutions providing such Indebtedness, with respect to the Incremental Term Loans made thereunder (as determined by the Borrowers and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders) exceeds the all-in yield (after giving effect to interest rate margins (including the interest rate floors, subject to the first proviso in this clause (viii) and the exclusion in the definition of OID) and OID (equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if shorter, the remaining life to maturity thereof)), in each case paid or payable by a Borrower to Lenders or other institutions providing such Indebtedness, with respect to the Initial Term Loans, after giving effect to any increase or repricing thereof that has theretofore become effective (it being understood that if any such repricing was effected as a refinancing tranche, the OID applicable to the refinanced loans shall be taken into account), by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Incremental Yield Differential”), then, upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment, the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Initial Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Incremental Yield Differential; provided, that if the Incremental Term Loans include an interest-rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to such Initial Term Loans, the differential between such interest rate floors shall be equated to the interest rate margins for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor applicable to such Initial Term Loans would cause an increase in the Applicable Margin, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to such Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors; provided, further, that any Incremental Term Loans that

-93-

constitute fixed-rate Indebtedness shall be swapped to a floating rate on a customary matched-maturity basis; provided, further that this clause (vii) shall not apply to (x) up to $75,000,000 of Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments, Revolving Commitment Increase and Incremental Term Loans (as selected by the Borrower), or (y) any Incremental Term Loan that matures later than 24 months after the Term Loan Maturity Date; and

(ix) the Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and Revolving Commitment Increases may be denominated in Dollars or in any currency acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Lenders, as the case may be.

(b) Incremental Term Loans may provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata, greater than pro rata or less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments of Terms Loans or any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans with the proceeds of Other Term Loans and on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis with any other prepayment of Term Loans. Incremental Revolving Lenders may agree to a less than pro rata share of any prepayment. Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and Revolving Commitment Increases shall benefit from the same Guarantees applicable to then outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitment Increases shall be treated substantially the same as the Revolving Commitments being increased, and shall be considered to be part of the Class of Revolving Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate the provision of Revolving Commitment Increases, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and facility fees on the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Revolving Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such fees to any existing Revolving Lenders)). Each notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.24(a) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase.

(c) Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or any Additional Lender, in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.24, and, to the extent not permitted in this Section 2.24, all terms and documentation with respect to any Incremental Term Loan, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase which (i) are materially more restrictive on the Group Members, taken as a whole, than those with respect to the then-outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Commitments (but excluding (1) any terms applicable after the Latest Maturity Date and (2) terms that are more favorable to the existing Lenders than the comparable terms in the existing Loan Documents, in which case such terms may be incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders (to the extent applicable to such Lender) without further amendment or consent requirements) or (ii) relate to provisions of a mechanical (including with respect to the Collateral and currency mechanics) or administrative nature, shall in each case be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 11.6(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender; provided, further, that the Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase provided by any Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing

-94-

Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section (including any amendments that are not adverse to the interests of any Lender that are made to effectuate changes necessary to enable any Incremental Term Loans that are intended to be fungible with an existing Class of Term Loans to be fungible with such Term Loans, which shall include any amendments to Section 2.3 that do not reduce the ratable amortization received by each Lender thereunder). The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be (unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction) subject to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) (it being understood that all references to the date of such extension of credit or similar language in Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree (the effective date of any such Incremental Amendment, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”). The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increases, unless it so agrees.

(d) Upon each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase either be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder or assigned to a Revolving Commitment Increase Lender (in each case, reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments, such that Revolving Loans are held ratably in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share, after giving effect to such increase), which prepayment or assignment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.20 (it being understood that the foregoing provisions shall apply only to an increase in the amount of the Revolving Commitment Increase and not to any Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.24(d) shall apply only to such Class of Revolving Commitments that are the same Class as the Incremental Revolving Loans and shall not apply to any other Class of Revolving Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.17 or 11.1 to the contrary and Section 2.17 shall be deemed to be amended to implement any Incremental Amendment.

-95-

2.25 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt in respect of (1) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (1) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (2) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (2) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt:

(i) shall not be permitted to rank senior in right of payment or security to the Loans and Commitments being refinanced (assuming that such Loans or Commitments would have remained outstanding);

(ii) will have such pricing, premiums, optional prepayment terms and financial covenants as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof;

(iii) (x) with respect to any Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) being Refinanced and (y) other than Customary Bridge Financings, with respect to any Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being Refinanced;

(iv) subject to clause (ii) above, will have terms and conditions that are either substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, less favorable to the Lenders or Additional Lenders providing such Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt than the Refinanced Debt; and

(v) the proceeds of such Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans or reduction of Revolving Commitments being so Refinanced (and repayment of Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder);

provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt is issued, incurred or obtained or added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the applicable Lenders pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (unless waived by the Lenders providing such Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 5.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in facts or changes to counsel’s form of opinion). Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under the Revolving Commitments subject to the approval of the Issuing Lenders.

-96-

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments).

(c) Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement (or to effect a replacement of any Intercreditor Agreement) and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding revolving commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such revolving commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.17 or 11.1 to the contrary and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may amend Section 2.17 to implement any Refinancing Amendment.

2.26 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted in the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Majority Revolving Lenders” and “Majority Term Lenders” and otherwise as set forth in Section 11.1.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, in the case of a Revolving Lender, if so determined by the

-97-

Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Advances and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and L/C Advances owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied pursuant to Section 3.2(b). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.2(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive or accrue Letter of Credit fees or any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.8(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, Refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 3.4, respectively, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, Refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Lender. In the event non-Defaulting Lenders’ obligations to acquire, Refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit are increased as a result of a Defaulting Lender, then all Letter of Credit fees that would have been paid to such Defaulting Lender shall be paid to such non-Defaulting Lenders ratably in accordance with such increase of such non-Defaulting Lender’s obligations to acquire, Refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (without giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a

-98-

Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 11.16, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) No Release. Subject to Section 11.16, the provisions hereof attributable to Defaulting Lenders shall not release or excuse any Defaulting Lender from failure to perform its obligations hereunder.

2.27 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) The Borrowers may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes on the same terms to each such Lender (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, a “Specified Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by any Person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower appointed by the Borrower Representative, after consultation (and, with respect to any documentation requiring execution of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, with the consent of the Administrative Agent) with the Administrative Agent, as agent under such Loan Modification Agreement (as defined below) (such Person (who may be the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees), the “Loan Modification Agent”) and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Representative; provided that (i) any such offer shall be made by the Borrowers to all Lenders with Loans with a like maturity date (whether under one or more tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the applicable Loans), (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such offer, (iii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower Representative and (iv) in the case of any Permitted Amendment relating to the Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall have approved such Permitted Amendment. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five (5) Business Days nor more than forty-five (45) Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Loan Modification Agent); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) assignments and participations of Specified Classes shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower Representative’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions than those set forth in Section 11.6, and (y) no repayment of Specified Classes shall be permitted unless such repayment is accompanied by an at least pro rata repayment of all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) (or all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Specified Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Specified Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. No Lender shall have any obligation to accept any Loan Modification Offer.

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) executed and delivered by the applicable Borrowers, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Loan Modification Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. No Loan Modification Agreement shall provide for any extension of any Specified Class in an aggregate principal amount that is less than 25% of such Specified Class then outstanding or committed, as the case may be. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary

-99-

or appropriate, in the opinion of the Loan Modification Agent and the Borrower Representative, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.27, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided that (x) no Loan Modification Agreement may provide for (i) any Specified Class to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Group Member that does not also secure the Loans and (ii) so long as any Loans are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Loans on a pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis (or, with respect to prepayments made with proceeds of Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt and voluntary prepayments, on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis), (y) in the case of any Loan Modification Offer relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Lender, (i) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued Letter of Credit as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Termination Date may not be extended without the prior written consent of each Issuing Lender; and (z) the terms and conditions of the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (excluding pricing, fees, rate floors and optional prepayment or redemption terms) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) shall be no more favorable to, the Accepting Lenders than those applicable to the Specified Class (except for (1) financial covenants or other covenants or provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of such Loan Modification Offer, as may be agreed by the Borrower Representative and the Accepting Lenders or (2) any terms that are confirmed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the lenders of the Specified Class pursuant to such Loan Modification Agreement).

(c) Subject to Section 2.27(b), the Borrowers may at their election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Loan Modification Agreement that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Loan Modification Offer in the Borrowers’ sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower Representative) of Loans of any or all applicable Classes be extended.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 2.27 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.17 or 11.1 to the contrary and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may amend Section 2.17 to implement any Loan Modification Agreement.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit and to the extent agreed to by an Issuing Lender, bank guarantees and commercial letters of credit providing for the payment of cash upon the honoring of a presentation thereunder (collectively, with the letters of credit existing under the Original Credit Facility on the date hereof and described on Schedule 1.1-3, “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Initial Borrower or the account of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that the Initial Borrower shall be an applicant, and be fully and unconditionally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary) on any Business Day prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lenders; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (iii) the L/C Obligation of such Issuing

-100-

Lender would exceed its L/C Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a stated amount acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender, (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance, or such longer period as is reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender, and (y) the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender may provide for the renewal or extension thereof for additional one-year periods or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the Issuing Lender (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above, except to the extent the L/C Obligations under such Letter of Credit have been Cash Collateralized); provided, further, that the Issuing Lenders shall not renew or extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice (or otherwise has knowledge) that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are not satisfied prior to the date of the decision to renew or extend such Letter of Credit and (iv) be otherwise reasonably acceptable in all respects to the Issuing Lenders. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lenders, the Borrower Representative shall not be required to make a specific request to an Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once any Letter of Credit has been issued that may be extended automatically pursuant to the foregoing, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lenders to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit, including to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the letters of credit identified on Schedule 1.1-3 shall be deemed Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (ii) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.

(a) The Borrower Representative may from time to time on any Business Day occurring from (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit permitted to be issued on the Effective Date, prior to) the Effective Date until the Revolving Termination Date request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the relevant Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Promptly upon receipt of any Application, such Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of the Application, and if not, will furnish the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, or one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of amendment, as appropriate, of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 5 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be

-101-

required to issue any Letter of Credit (a) earlier than (i) three (3) Business Days, in the case of standby Letters of Credit or similar agreements or (ii) to the extent an Issuing Lender agrees to issue bank guarantees or commercial Letters of Credit, or similar agreements, such period of time as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender, or (b) later than ten (10) Business Days, (or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Lender in any particular instance) after, its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly following the issuance thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly furnish to the Revolving Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(b) Cash Collateral. (i) If an Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 to a Revolving Borrowing cannot then be met, (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, (iii) if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 9.3 or (iv) an Event of Default set forth under Section 9.1(g) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be), and shall do so not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii), (1) if the Borrower Representative receives notice thereof prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on any Business Day, on the Business Day immediately following receipt of such notice or (2) if the Borrower Representative receives notice thereof after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on any Business Day, on the second Business Day immediately following receipt of such notice (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (iv), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 9.1(g) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Borrowers’ Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure and deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, Cash Collateral pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (or in the case of Cash Collateral provided with regard to Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure, such amount of Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure), the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in a Cash Collateral Account as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding

-102-

Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrowers will pay a fee on the Letter of Credit amounts as described in Section 3.9 hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, less the amount of fronting fee referred to in the next sentence, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each applicable Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee which shall be the greater of $500 per annum and 0.125% per annum (or such lower fee as the applicable Issuing Lender may agree) on the Letter of Credit amounts as described in Section 3.9 hereof during the applicable period, payable quarterly in arrears on each applicable Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

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

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) The Issuing Lenders irrevocably agree to grant and hereby grant to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lenders, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lenders’ obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by an Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lenders that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against such Issuing Lender, the Borrowers, any other Group Member or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from and

-103-

including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of an Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent thereof. If any drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the drawing so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day following the Business Day on which notice of such drawing was received, if such notice is received on such day prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, two Business Days following the day that the Borrower receive such notice. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant drawing is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the second Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.14(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.14(c).

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrowers may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person (it being understood that this provision shall not preclude the ability of the Borrowers to bring any claim for damages against any such Person who has acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Borrowers also agree with the Issuing Lenders that the Issuing Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between the Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Lender. The Borrowers agree that any action

-104-

taken or omitted by the Issuing Lenders under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the applicable Issuing Lender to the Borrowers.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit, or any other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, the Issuing Lenders or any other Person relating to any Letter of Credit, is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall control.

3.9 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms (or the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit Application or other document, agreement or instrument entered into by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Initial Borrower (or Restricted Subsidiary, if applicable) or in favor of the applicable Issuing Lender and relating to such Letter of Credit) provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each Loan Party (in the case of Holdings, only in respect of itself to the extent set forth in this Section 4) hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and related consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows related to the Initial Borrower, for the years then ended, in each case reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report as to going concern or scope of audit from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Initial Borrower, as at such applicable date, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the respective periods referred to therein. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No Group Member has, as of the Effective Date after giving effect to the Transactions and excluding obligations under the Loan Documents, any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long term leases or unusual forward or long term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, which are required in conformity with GAAP to be disclosed therein and which are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.

-105-

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2016, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and (where applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and (c) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of clauses (a) (as it relates to good standing) and (c) above, to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

6.12 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Initial Borrower may at any time after the Effective Date designate any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than any Borrower) and subsequently re-designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Initial Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended Test Period immediately preceding such designation or re-designation, as applicable, determined on a Pro Forma Basis, (A) would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 or (B) would be equal to or greater than such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such designation or re-designation and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the applicable Loan Party’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (x) the incurrence at the time of designation of Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time, and (y) a return on any Investment by the applicable Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of such Loan Party’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Subsidiary.

At any time a Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary hereunder, the Initial Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (or any similar applicable term) under any Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.2 that constitutes First Lien Obligation, and, in any event, any Indebtedness described in Section 7.2(b)(iv) or (b)(vi).

Consolidated EBITDA on a Pro Forma Basis based on the most recently ended Test Period (at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred); provided that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred or assumed by Restricted Subsidiaries which are Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries under this clause (xxiii) shall not exceed the greater of $40,000,000 and 25% of Consolidated EBITDA on a Pro Forma Basis based on the most recently ended Test Period (at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred) at any one time outstanding (minus the amount of Indebtedness Incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries of the Initial Borrower that are Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries pursuant to clauses (a) and (b)(vi) of this Section 7.2); provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Initial Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries incurs Indebtedness under clause (1) above on the same date that it incurs indebtedness under clause (2), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under such clause (1) without regard to any incurrence of Indebtedness under clause (2), and, unless the Initial Borrower elects otherwise, any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xxiii) shall be deemed incurred first under clause (1) above, with the balance incurred under clause (2);

(xxiv) Indebtedness Incurred by the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or to satisfy and discharge the Obligations;

(xxvii) Indebtedness owed on a short-term basis of no longer than thirty (30) days to banks and other financial institutions Incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Initial Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with such banks or financial institutions that arises in connection with ordinary banking arrangements to manage cash balances of the Initial Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(xxix) Indebtedness Incurred by (A) Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (B) Foreign Subsidiaries, or (C) joint ventures of the Initial Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount that, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (xxix), does not exceed the greater of $40,000,000 and 25% of Consolidated EBITDA on a Pro Forma Basis based on the most recently ended Test Period (at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred) at any one time outstanding.

(c) The Initial Borrower may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in one or more of the categories (including in part in one category and in part in another category) set forth in this Section 7.2 (including Ratio Debt). Other than with respect to clause (b)(i) of this Section 7.2, if at any time that the Initial Borrower would be entitled to have incurred any then-outstanding item of Indebtedness as Ratio

-127-

Debt or pursuant to clause (b)(vi)(x), such item of Indebtedness shall be automatically reclassified into an item of Indebtedness incurred as Ratio Debt or pursuant to clause (b)(vi)(x) of this Section 7.2. The Initial Borrower may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of categories (including in part in one category and in part in another category) set forth in this Section 7.2 (including Ratio Debt) without giving pro forma effect to the substantially concurrent Incurrence of any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section 7.2 when calculating the amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) that may be Incurred under this Section 7.2. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.2, with respect to Indebtedness Incurred, reborrowings of amounts previously repaid pursuant to “cash sweep” provisions or any similar provisions that provide that Indebtedness is deemed to be repaid daily (or otherwise periodically) shall only be deemed for purposes of this Section 7.2 to have been Incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first Incurred and not on the date of any subsequent reborrowing thereof. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 7.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness shall be counted only once.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign 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 or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated 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.

7.3 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Initial Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(G) an amount equal to any returns in Cash Equivalents (including dividends, interest, distributions, returns of principal, profits on sale, repayments, income and similar amounts) actually received by the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of Investments made pursuant to this Section 7.3(a)(3); plus

(a) the Initial Borrower (in the case of any transaction involving the Initial Borrower) or such Specified Co-Borrower (in the case of any transaction involving such Specified Co-Borrower (other than any transaction involving the Initial Borrower)) is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Initial Borrower or such Specified Co-Borrower, as the case may be) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Initial Borrower, such Specified Co-Borrower or such Person as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”) and, if such entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Obligations is a corporation organized or existing under such laws;

(f) the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Successor Company (if other than the Initial Borrower or a Specified Co-Borrower, as the case may be) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the applicable Borrower under this Agreement and in such event the applicable Borrower will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and “Initial Borrower” or “Co-Borrower”, as the case may be, shall refer to the Successor Company. Notwithstanding clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 7.8, (A) any Borrower may consolidate with, merge into or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose (including in connection with a liquidation) of all or part of its properties and assets to any Restricted Subsidiary and (B) any Borrower may merge or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing a Borrower in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States.

No Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower will, and the Initial Borrower will not permit any Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose (including in connection with a liquidation) of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person (herein called the “Successor Entity”) unless (i) the surviving company (or company to which such assets are transferred) in such liquidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition is a Borrower or a Guarantor; or (ii):

(1) such sale or disposition or consolidation or merger is not in violation of Section 7.5;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Entity or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Entity or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

-143-

(3) the Successor Entity (if other than such Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating and an opinion of counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Agreement; and

The Successor Entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor or such Subject Co-Borrower under this Agreement and (if applicable) such Guarantor’s Guarantee, and such Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Agreement and (if applicable) such Guarantor’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) a Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower may merge or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Guarantor or such Subject Co-Borrower in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower is not increased thereby, (y) a Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower may merge or consolidate with or transfer all or part of its properties or assets to another Guarantor or a Borrower and (z) a Guarantor or Subject Co-Borrower may convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor or such Subject Co-Borrower or any of the jurisdictions set forth in clause (x) of this sentence.

SECTION 8. GUARANTEE

8.1 The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of (1) the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law of any other jurisdiction) on all Loans and (2) all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by the Borrowers (such obligations under clauses (1) and (2) being herein collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”). Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees that, if the Borrowers shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guarantor Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

-145-

8.2 Obligations Unconditional.

(a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 8.1, shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guarantor Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, any Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guarantor Obligations, and, in each case, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety by any Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, in each case, remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above;

(b) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guarantor Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(c) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(d) the maturity of any of the Guarantor Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guarantor Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guarantor Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(e) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Issuing Lender or any Lender or the Administrative Agent as security for any of the Guarantor Obligations shall fail to be valid or perfected or entitled to the expected priority;

(f) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.9, 10.10 or otherwise; or

(g) except for the payment in full of the Guarantor Obligations, any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantor Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower or any Guarantor for the Guarantor Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the Guarantee or of any security interest granted by any Guarantor, whether in a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or in any other instance.

Each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, marshaling, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guarantor Obligations. Each of the Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guarantor Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee made under this Section 8 (this “Guarantee”) or acceptance of the Guarantee, and the Guarantor Obligations,

-146-

and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Guarantee. The Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guarantor Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against any Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guarantor Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. The Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the applicable Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guarantor Obligations outstanding.

8.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 8 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guarantor Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

8.4 No Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guarantor Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made, (ii) Cash Management Obligations as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Cash Management Providers have been made, (iii) obligations under Specified Swap Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Qualified Counterparties have been made and (iv) Letters of Credit that have been Collateralized) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments under this Agreement, it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its Guarantee, whether by subrogation, right of contribution or otherwise, against any Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guarantor Obligations or any security for any of the Guarantor Obligations.

8.5 Remedies. Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9) for purposes of Section 8.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Borrower or any Guarantor and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable, or the circumstances occurring where Section 9 provides that such obligations shall become due and payable), such obligations shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 8.1.

8.6 [Reserved.]

8.7 Continuing Guarantee. The Guarantee made by the Guarantors is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guarantor Obligations whenever arising.

8.8 General Limitation on Guarantor Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any federal, state, provincial or territorial, corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other

-147-

law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 8.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 8.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability of such Guarantor shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 8.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. To effectuate the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantor Obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guarantor Obligations of such Guarantor with respect thereto hereof not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under such Guarantee and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other guarantee by such Guarantor. For purposes of the foregoing, all guarantees of such Guarantor other than its Guarantee will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the Guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Section 8.8 shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of each Guarantor and not for the benefit of such Guarantor or the holders of any Equity Interest in such Guarantor.

8.9 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person other than a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower Representative, at the Borrower Representative’s expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents that the Borrower Representative shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided that the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five days, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree, prior to the date of the release, a written notice of such for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, together with a certification by the Borrower Representative stating that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.10 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8.4. The provisions of this Section 8.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Excluded ECP Guarantor shall have any obligations or liabilities to any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to Excluded Swap Obligations.

8.11 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 8.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.11, or otherwise under the Guarantee, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 8.11

-148-

shall remain in full force and effect until the termination and release of all Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 8.11 constitute, and this Section 8.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

(g) (i) Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i) above that (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of sixty (60) days; or (iii) there shall be commenced against Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets that results in the entry of an order for any such relief that shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof; or (iv) Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; or (v) Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due; or

9.2 [Reserved].

9.3 Action in Event of Default.

(a) (x) Upon any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(g)(i) or (ii) occurring and continuing, the Commitments shall immediately terminate automatically and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall automatically immediately become due and payable, and (y) if any other Event of Default under Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(g)(i) or (ii)) occurs and is continuing, subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.3, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, exercise any and all other remedies available under the Loan Documents at law or in equity, including commencing and prosecuting any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction and collecting the Collateral or any portion thereof and enforcing any other right in respect of any Collateral.

-151-

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(d) that is uncured or unwaived, the Majority Revolving Lenders may, so long as a Financial Compliance Date continues to be in effect, either (x) terminate the Revolving Commitments and/or (y) take the actions specified in Section 9.3(a) in respect of the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans.

(d) With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a Cash Collateral Account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full and all other Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full (other than (i) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made, (ii) Cash Management Obligations as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Cash Management Providers have been made, (iii) Letters of Credit that have been Collateralized and (iv) obligations under Specified Swap Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Qualified Counterparties have been made), the balance, if any, in such Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to the Borrowers (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9.3, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

9.4 Right to Cure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9, in the event that the Initial Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 9.4, would fail) to comply with the requirements of Section 7.1, the Initial Borrower and Holdings shall have the right during the applicable fiscal quarter, and/or from the date of delivery of a Notice of Intent to Cure with respect to the fiscal quarter most recently ended for which financial results have been provided under Sections 6.1(a) or (b) until ten (10) Business Days thereafter, to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the equity capital of Holdings, and, in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the Initial Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Initial Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Initial Borrower or Holdings of such Cure Right, the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be recalculated by increasing Consolidated EBITDA (solely for purposes of compliance with Section 7.1) on a Pro Forma Basis solely for the purpose of measuring the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount.

(b) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Initial Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.1, then the Initial Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 7.1 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 7.1 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.

(c) To the extent a fiscal quarter ended for which the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio was initially recalculated as a result of a Cure Right and such fiscal quarter is included in the calculation of the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio in a subsequent fiscal quarter, the Cure Amount shall be included in Consolidated EBITDA of such initial fiscal quarter.

-152-

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) for purposes of this Section 9.4, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, determined at the time the Cure Right is exercised with respect to the fiscal quarter ended for which the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio was initially recalculated as a result of a Cure Right, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for all other purposes of this Agreement, including, determining any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in Section 7, and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts other than the amount of Consolidated EBITDA as described in clause (a) above, (iv) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Cure Amount for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is exercised for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.1, (v) the Initial Borrower or Holdings shall not exercise the Cure Right in excess of five instances over the term of this Agreement and (vi) no Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Loans or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if a violation of Section 7.1 has occurred and is continuing until the expiration of the 10 Business Day period during which Holdings may exercise a Cure Right, unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

9.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply, at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may elect, all or any part of proceeds constituting Collateral in payment of the Obligations (and in the event the Loans and other Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Section 9.3, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, apply the proceeds constituting Collateral in payment of the Obligations) in the following order:

(a) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any sale, collection or other realization on the Collateral, including reimbursement for all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith (including all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection any action taken pursuant to any Loan Document or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any other amount required by any provision of law (including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code)), and all amounts for which Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder and thereunder for the account of any Loan Party (excluding principal and interest in respect of any Loans extended to such Loan Party), and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to the payment or reimbursement of all indemnification obligations, fees, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof;

(b) Second, for application by it pro rata to (i) repay the Swingline Lender for any then outstanding Swingline Loans to the extent Revolving Lenders have not funded their obligations to acquire participations therein, (ii) cure any Funding Default that has occurred and is continuing at such time and (iii) repay the Issuing Lender for any amounts not paid by L/C Participants pursuant to Section 3.4;

-153-

(c) Third, for application by it towards all other Obligations (including, without duplication, Guarantor Obligations with respect to Loans), pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties (including all Obligations arising under Specified Swap Agreements and including obligations to provide cash collateral with respect to Letters of Credit); and

(d) Fourth, any balance of such proceeds remaining after all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment in full in immediately available funds (or in the case of Letters of Credit, terminated or Cash Collateralized) and the Commitments shall have been terminated, be paid over to or upon the order of the applicable Loan Party or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party.

SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders (which for purposes of this Section 10 shall include the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and, except to the extent that any Group Member has any express rights under this Section 10, no Group Member shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Qualified Counterparty and a potential Cash Management Provider) and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Lenders for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Administrative Agent shall bind the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, the Specified Swap Agreements or any Specified Cash Management Agreement (including, in each case, the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any

-154-

actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or a sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale.

10.2 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Initial Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

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

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1 and Section 9.3) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender.

-155-

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders or Affiliate Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender or (z) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or enforce the limitations in connection with any assignment to Debt Fund Affiliates and Affiliated Lenders or have any liability with respect thereto or any matter arising thereof.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including telephonic notices) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that 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 and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

10.5 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

10.6 Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrowers, not to be unreasonably withheld, for so long as no Event of Default set forth under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(g) has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower Representative and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, subject to the approval of the Borrowers, not to be unreasonably withheld, for so long as no Event of Default set forth under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(g) has occurred and is continuing, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed), all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lenders directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same

-157-

as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(d) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it which are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts in connection with Letters of Credit. If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans. Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the retiring Issuing Lender which are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

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

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

10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by

-158-

declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) 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, L/C Obligations 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, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.8, 3.3 and 11.5) 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 and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.8 and 11.5.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving

-159-

effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Qualified Counterparty and a potential Cash Management Provider), the Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 11.1) after the Effective Date: (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (1) at the time the property subject to such Lien is Disposed of or to be Disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Loan Party, (2) subject to Section 11.1, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (3) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee or (4) that constitutes Excluded Assets; (ii) to release or subordinate, as expressly permitted hereunder, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by this Agreement to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens; (iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, Excluded Domestic Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; and (iv) to release any Collateral or Guarantor Obligations to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1.

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release (pursuant to clause (a) above) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee.

(c) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made, (ii) Cash Management Obligations as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Cash Management Providers have been made and (iii) obligations under Specified Swap Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Qualified Counterparties have been made) shall have been satisfied by payment in full in immediately available funds, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding or all outstanding Letters of Credit have been Collateralized, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Group Member under the Security Documents shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

-160-

(d) If (i) a Guarantor was released from its obligations under the Guarantee, (ii) a Co-Borrower was released from its obligations under the Loan Documents or (iii) the Collateral was released from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Document (or the interest in such item subordinated), the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to) execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee or such Co-Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.10.

(e) If as a result of any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement: (i) any Guarantor or Co-Borrower becomes an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary, DRE Excluded Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary, or any Guarantor or Co-Borrower is sold (or consolidates or mergers with a Person that is not a Loan Party), then such Guarantor’s Guarantee (or the obligations of such Co-Borrower under the Loan Documents) shall be automatically released, (ii) any Guarantor or Co-Borrower becomes an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary, a DRE Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (other than 65% of the total outstanding voting Capital Stock and 100% of the total outstanding non-voting Capital Stock of an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary, DRE Excluded Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary that, in each case, is directly owned by a Borrower or a Guarantor) shall be automatically released from the security interests created by the Loan Documents, or (iii) any Excluded Domestic Subsidiary, any DRE Excluded Subsidiary or any Foreign Subsidiary ceases to be directly owned by a Borrower or Guarantor, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from any security interests created by the Loan Documents. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 10.10(e), the Administrative Agent and any applicable Lender shall promptly execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 10.10(e) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

10.11 Intercreditor Agreements.

The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of, or supplements or other modifications to, any such agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement), and any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Lenders.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 9.5, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations and Obligations arising under Specified Swap Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Provider or Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be.

-161-

10.12 Withholding Tax Indemnity.

To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to Sections 2.18 and 2.19 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.12. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 10.12, include any Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.

10.13 Indemnification.

Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (and their Related Parties) in their respective capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), according to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.13 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or their Related Parties (the foregoing, the “Lender Indemnitees”) in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Lender Indemnitee for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that they are (i) (A) found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender Indemnitee, (B) found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Lender Indemnitee, or (C) are disputes that do not involve an act or omission by any Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates and that are brought by any Lender Indemnitee against any other Lender Indemnitee (other than in its capacity

-162-

as Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, Swingline Lender or Issuing Lender or similar role hereunder) or (ii) settlements entered into by such person without such Lender’s written consent (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The agreements in this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents 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 are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

(A) in the case of any Term Lender (other than with respect to Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments), any Revolving Lender or Incremental Term Lender (with respect to Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments), the Borrower Representative, provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after notice by the Administrative Agent, provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, for an assignment to any existing Lender under the Revolving Facility or, if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) (or, in respect of the Initial Borrower, Section 9.1(f) or (g)) has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee or (y) in the case of the Term Facility, for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) (or, in respect of the Initial Borrower, Section 9.1(f) or (g)) has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which such fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) for each assignment or group of affiliated or related assignments (it being understood that such recordation fee shall not apply to any assignments by any Person that is a Lender on the Effective Date or any of their Affiliates); and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and applicable Forms and other documentation required pursuant to Sections 2.19(d), (e) and (g).

(iii) Assignments to Permitted Auction Purchasers. Each Lender acknowledges that each Permitted Auction Purchaser is an Eligible Assignee hereunder and may purchase or acquire Term Loans hereunder from Lenders from time to time (x) pursuant to a Dutch Auction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 11.6 hereof), subject to the restrictions set forth in the definitions of “Eligible Assignee” and “Dutch Auction” or (y) pursuant to open market purchases, in each case, subject to the following limitations:

(A) each Permitted Auction Purchaser agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect to any Auction Purchase or other acquisition of Term Loans, (1) under no circumstances, whether or not any Loan Party is subject to a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, shall such Permitted Auction Purchaser be permitted to exercise any voting rights or other privileges with respect to any Term Loans and any Term Loans that are assigned to such Permitted Auction Purchaser shall have no voting rights or other privileges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be taken into account in determining any required vote or consent and (2) such Permitted Auction Purchaser shall not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and shall not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their advisors; rather, all Loans held by any Permitted Auction Purchaser shall be automatically Cancelled immediately upon the purchase or acquisition thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 11.6 hereof);

-172-

(B) at the time any Permitted Auction Purchaser is making purchases of Loans it shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption;

(C) immediately upon the effectiveness of each Auction Purchase or other acquisition of Term Loans, a Cancellation (it being understood that such Cancellation shall not constitute a voluntary repayment of Loans for purposes of this Agreement) shall be automatically irrevocably effected with respect to all of the Loans and related Obligations subject to such Auction Purchase, with the effect that such Loans and related Obligations shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents no longer be outstanding, and the Borrowers and the Guarantors shall no longer have any Obligations relating thereto, it being understood that such forgiveness and cancellation shall result in the Borrowers and the Guarantors being irrevocably and unconditionally released from all claims and liabilities relating to such Obligations which have been so cancelled and forgiven, and the Collateral shall cease to secure any such Obligations which have been so cancelled and forgiven; and

(D) at the time of such Purchase Notice and Auction Purchase or other acquisition of Term Loans, (w) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates shall not be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrowers, their respective subsidiaries or their respective securities, (y) any Affiliated Lender that is a Purchaser shall identify itself as such and (z) no proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used to consummate the Auction Purchase.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11.6(b)(iii) shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 to the contrary.

(iv) Assignments to Affiliated Lenders. Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(A) notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Lenders have (1) consented to any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 11.1), (2) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, (3) directed or required Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, or (4) subject to Section 2.22, voted on any plan of reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender disproportionately in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, the Sponsor and any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and the Sponsor and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate each hereby

-173-

acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of Title 11 of the United States Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be subject to such limitation and shall be entitled to vote as any other Lender; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Debt Fund Affiliates may not in the aggregate account for more than 49.9% of the amounts set forth in the calculation of Required Lenders and any amount in excess of 49.9% will be subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (A);

(B) the Sponsor and Non-Debt Fund Affiliates shall not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and shall not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their advisors, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2;

(C) at the time any Affiliated Lender is making purchases of Loans pursuant to a Dutch Auction it shall identify itself as an Affiliated Lender and shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement;

(D) with respect to a Dutch Auction, at the time of such Purchase Notice and Auction Purchase, no Affiliated Lender shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities; and

(E) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans which may be purchased by the Sponsor or any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate through Dutch Auctions or assigned to the Sponsor or any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate through open market purchases shall in no event exceed, as calculated at the time of the consummation of any aforementioned Purchases or assignments, 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11.6(b)(iv) shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 to the contrary.

(v) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 11.6(b)(vii) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by

-174-

a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations if such transaction complies with the requirements of Section 11.6(c).

(vi) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of (and any stated interest on) the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may 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 Borrowers, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vii) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire and applicable Forms and other documentation required pursuant to Sections 2.19(d), (e) and (g) (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), together with (x) any processing and recordation fee and (y) any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires, subject to Section 11.1(b), the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (A) and (C) of Section 11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.6(c)(ii), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements of those sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.8(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the commitment of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of, each Participant’s interest in the Loans, L/C Obligations or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have

-175-

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 Commitments, Loans, L/C Obligations or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, L/C Obligation 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. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, 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.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless such Participant complies with Sections 2.19(d), 2.19(e) and 2.19(g) (it being understood that the provision of any tax forms by the Participant under such Sections shall be to the Participant’s participating Lender and not to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

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

(e) The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 11.6(d) above.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Each Lender, upon succeeding to an interest in Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that it is an Eligible Assignee.

11.7 [Reserved].

11.8 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for or permits payments to be allocated or made to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(g) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders;

-176-

provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

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

11.9 [Reserved].

11.10 Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith by facsimile transmission or electronic PDF shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other document or instrument, as applicable. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Committed Loan Notices, Swingline Notes, waivers or consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

11.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.12 Integration. This Agreement, the Engagement Letter, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Joint Lead Arranger, the Joint Bookrunners and the Administrative Agent represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrowers, the

-177-

Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.13 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

11.14 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, sitting in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof, to the extent such courts would have subject matter jurisdiction with respect thereto, and agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing (x) a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law and (y) legal actions or proceedings brought by the Secured Parties in connection with the exercise of rights and remedies with respect to Collateral may be brought in other jurisdictions where such Collateral is located or such rights or remedies may be exercised;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court and waives any right to claim that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages against any Indemnitee.

-178-

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

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

11.17 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is not designated by the provider thereof as public information or non-confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, any other Lender or any Affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with provisions no less restrictive than this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty) (other than Disqualified Lenders), (c) to its employees, directors, trustees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors that have been advised of the provisions of this Section and have been instructed to keep such information confidential, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates); provided that unless prohibited by applicable law, reasonable efforts shall be made to notify the Borrowers of any such request prior to disclosure (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or

-179-

regulatory authority), (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law; provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, reasonable efforts shall be made to notify the Borrowers of any such request prior to disclosure (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding; provided that unless prohibited by applicable law, reasonable efforts shall be made to notify the Borrowers of any such request prior to disclosure (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), (g) that has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender; provided, such Person has been advised of the provisions of this Section and instructed to keep such information confidential or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

11.18 Waivers Of Jury Trial. EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

11.19 USA PATRIOT Act Notification. The following notification is provided to the Borrowers and each Guarantor pursuant to Section 326 of the PATRIOT Act:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product.

What this means for any Borrower or Guarantor: When any Borrower or Guarantor opens an account, if such Borrower or Guarantor is an individual, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name, residential address, tax identification number, date of birth, and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to identify such Borrower or Guarantor, and, if such Borrower or Guarantor is not an individual, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to identify such Borrower or Guarantor. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may also ask, if any Borrower or Guarantor is

-180-

an individual, to see such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if such Borrower or Guarantor is not an individual, to see such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

11.20 Maximum Amount.

(a) It is the intention of the Borrowers and the Lenders to conform strictly to the usury and similar laws relating to interest from time to time in force, and all agreements between the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to the Lenders as interest (whether or not designated as interest, and including any amount otherwise designated but deemed to constitute interest by a court of competent jurisdiction) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement given to secure the Indebtedness evidenced hereby or other Obligations of the Borrowers, or in any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Indebtedness evidenced hereby, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable usury or such other laws (the “Maximum Amount”). If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, or any of the other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the Maximum Amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the Maximum Amount. For the purposes of calculating the actual amount of interest paid and/or payable hereunder in respect of laws pertaining to usury or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness of the Borrowers evidenced hereby, outstanding from time to time shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Notes until payment in full of all of such Indebtedness, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Indebtedness is uniform through the term hereof. The terms and provisions of this Section 11.20(a) shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between the Borrowers or any endorser of the Notes and the Lenders.

(b) If under any circumstances any Lender shall ever receive an amount which would exceed the Maximum Amount, such amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the principal amount of the Loans and shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment under Section 2.10 and shall be so applied in accordance with Section 2.17 or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Loans and any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers in favor of such Lender, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and shall be refunded to the Borrowers.

11.21 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 11.21 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

11.22 No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Bookrunners, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates,

-181-

on the other, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

11.23 Electronic Execution of Assignment and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

11.24 Amended and Restated Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Original Credit Facility in its entirety but shall not constitute a novation thereof nor impair the rights and obligations created thereunder, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the obligations under the Original Credit Facility shall remain in full force and effect as amended and restated hereby. All references in any other Loan Document to the Original Credit Facility shall, on and after the date hereof, be deemed to be references to this Agreement.

SECTION 12. CO-BORROWER ARRANGEMENTS AND BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE

12.1 Addition of Co-Borrowers. From time to time on or after the Effective Date, the Initial Borrower may designate one or more Restricted Subsidiaries as a “Co-Borrower” with respect to Borrowings under this Agreement; provided that such designated Restricted Subsidiary shall not become a Co-Borrower hereunder unless and until each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(a) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall have received all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be required

-182-

by Governmental Authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and such documentation and information (including the jurisdiction of organization of the proposed Co-Borrower) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders from legal and operational perspectives;

(b) such Co-Borrower shall be organized under the laws of the United States, any state within the United States or the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction approved by the Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders, in their reasonable discretion;

(c) the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed Co-Borrower Joinder from such Co-Borrower and, to the extent not previously delivered, a Guarantor Joinder Agreement;

(d) in each case to the extent not previously delivered, such Co-Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent all security agreements required to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 6.9, together with other deliverables required pursuant to such Section as applied to such Co-Borrower (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may waive or modify any such requirements to the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably deems such changes necessary or appropriate under the circumstances taking into account the designated Co-Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization and applicable Laws);

(e) in the case of a Co-Borrower that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, an opinion of counsel (including from counsel licensed in New York and any such other jurisdiction as may be appropriate), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to the foregoing documents; and

(f) in each case to the extent not previously delivered, the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a copy of the Organizational Documents, including all amendments thereto, of such designated Co-Borrower, certified, if applicable, as of a recent date by the Secretary of State or similar Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction of its organization, where applicable, and a certificate as to the good standing of such designated Co-Borrower as of a recent date, from such Secretary of State or similar Governmental Authority and (ii) a certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of such designated Co-Borrower certifying (A) that attached thereto is a true and complete copy of the Organizational Documents of such Person as in effect on the date of the Co-Borrower Joinder, (B) that attached thereto is a true and complete copy of resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors or shareholders (or equivalent governing body) of such Person authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the borrowings thereunder and that such resolutions have not been modified, rescinded or amended and are in full force and effect, (C) that Organizational Documents of such Person have not been amended since the date of the last amendment thereto shown on the Organizational Documents furnished pursuant to clause (i) above, and (D) as to the incumbency and specimen signature of each officer executing any Loan Document on behalf of such Person and countersigned by another officer as to the incumbency and specimen signature of the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or director of such Person executing the certificate pursuant to clause (ii) above.

12.2 Status of Co-Borrowers.

(a) Once the conditions set forth in Section 12.1 have been satisfied with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a “Borrower” and a “Co-Borrower” under the Revolving Facility and the Term Facility and will have the right to directly request Revolving Borrowings in accordance with Section 2 hereof until the earlier to occur of the Revolving Termination Date or the date on which such Co-Borrower terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.3.

-183-

(b) Each Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Loan and the other Obligations hereunder. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event each other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

12.3 Resignation of Co-Borrowers. A Co-Borrower may elect to terminate its eligibility to request Borrowings and to cease to be a Co-Borrower hereunder upon the occurrence of, and such resignation shall become effective upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of resignation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that such resignation shall not have any impact on such Person’s obligations as a Subsidiary Guarantor and such obligations shall continue to be effective in accordance with Section 8 of this this Agreement and the other provisions and undertakings hereunder related thereto.

12.4 Appointment of Borrower Representative; Nature of Relationship. The Initial Borrower is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Section 12. Additionally, each Borrower hereby appoints the Borrower Representative as its agent to receive and direct all of the proceeds of the Loans, at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower. None of the Lenders or their respective officers, directors, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 12.4.

12.5 Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

12.6 Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through its Responsible Officers.

-184-

Agent and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon each of the Borrowers.

INTERCREDITOR TERMS

Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien Obligations)

Term Sheet

The following summary is intended to apply to the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into in connection with an issuance of (a) Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or (b) second lien secured Indebtedness permitted under Section 2.24, Section 7.2(b)(iv), or Section 7.2(b)(vi) of the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (each, “Second Lien Obligations”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Expo Event Midco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Emerald Expositions Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Initial Borrower”), the other borrowers from time to time party thereto (together with the Initial Borrower, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). The following is not intended to be a definitive list or complete articulation of all of the provisions that will be contained in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement will include, in addition to the provisions set forth herein, provisions that are customary or typical or are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative.


Parties		The Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative, Holdings, one or more representatives of the holders of other First Lien Obligations (the “Senior Representatives”) and one or more representatives of the holders of Second Lien Obligations (each, a “Second Lien Representative”).

Lien Priorities		So long as First Lien Obligations (the “Senior Obligations”) are outstanding, any liens (regardless of how acquired) securing any Second Lien Obligations will be junior in priority and subordinated in all respects to all liens securing, or purporting to secure, the Senior Obligations (provided the Second Lien Obligations will be subordinate only in respect of Collateral and the proceeds of realization of collateral and will not be subordinated in right of payment). This subordination shall apply notwithstanding, among other things, any defect or deficiency in the creation, attachment or perfection of any lien securing the Senior Obligations.

Collateral		The Collateral and the collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations (the “Second Lien

D-1


		Collateral”) will be substantially identical and the documents and agreements evidencing the Collateral and Secured Lien Collateral will be substantially identical; provided that the Second Lien Collateral may exclude assets that are included in the Collateral.

Prohibition on Contesting Liens		The Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Second Lien Representatives will not contest or support any other person in contesting, the priority, validity, perfection or enforceability of each other’s liens on the Collateral or the Second Lien Collateral, as applicable. The Second Lien Representative shall waive any requirement to marshal Collateral.

No New Liens		If the Administrative Agent, a Senior Representative or a Second Lien Representative acquires any lien on any assets of the Borrowers or any guarantor which assets are not also subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives and each Second Lien Representative, as applicable, then the Administrative Agent, such Senior Representative or such Second Lien Representative, as applicable, will hold such lien for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Second Lien Representatives until the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representative and/or such Second Lien Representative acquires a lien in such assets. The foregoing shall not apply to (i) any cash or other collateral “cash collateralizing” letters of credit or (ii) any Collateral that is specifically excluded from the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations. To the extent that the foregoing is not complied with by a Second Lien Representative, any amounts received or distributed to any Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations as a result of Liens in contradiction of the foregoing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Senior Representatives and promptly remitted thereto.

Enforcement		So long as the Senior Obligations are outstanding, the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives and the other holders of Senior Obligations shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies and make determinations regarding the release or disposition with respect to the Collateral without any

D-2


		consultation with or the consent of any Second Lien Representative or any holder of Second Lien Obligations. No Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives or the other holders of Senior Obligations. No Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may (i) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure or other enforcement action brought by the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives or the other holders of Senior Obligations with respect to the Collateral, (ii) object to the forbearance by the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives or the other holders of Senior Obligations from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure or other enforcement action with respect to the Collateral or (iii) foreclose on or take any other enforcement action with respect to the Collateral while any Senior Obligations are outstanding, except that a Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may take customary actions, including:

		(a)		such actions (not adverse to the priority status of the Administrative Agent’s and Senior Representatives’ liens or the right of the Administrative Agent or Senior Representatives to exercise remedies in respect thereof) as it deems necessary to create, continue or protect the perfection of liens on the Collateral;

		(b)		filing claims, proofs of claim or statements of interest in any insolvency proceeding;

		(c)		filing responsive proceedings in opposition to any motion objecting to claims of a Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations;

		(d)		voting on any chapter 11 plan in a manner not inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement;

		(e)		purchasing by an all cash bid for Collateral at any Section 363 hearing or public or judicial foreclosure sale; and

D-3



		(f)		if an event of default under any Second Lien Obligations has occurred, after the expiration of a 180 day standstill period, exercising any secured creditor remedies with respect to the Collateral for so long as the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives or any other holder of Senior Obligations is not diligently pursuing the exercise of its respective rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that the right to exercise such remedies shall be suspended in the event that the event of default giving rise to the commencement of the standstill period is waived or an insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against the Initial Borrower and provided, further, that such 180 day standstill period shall be tolled and no Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may exercise any secured creditor remedies if the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives or any other holder of Senior Obligations shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing any exercise of remedies against all or any material portion of the Collateral.

		Additionally, during the continuance of an event of default under the Second Lien Obligations, a Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may (a) except as otherwise set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise the rights of unsecured creditors, including, without limitation, filing pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interest available to unsecured creditors (provided that any judgment lien obtained upon exercise of such rights shall be subordinated to the lien securing the Obligations on the same basis as the other liens securing the Obligations), but only to the extent that the exercise of such rights would not violate the express provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) retain any amounts obtained in respect of Second Lien Obligations, except to the extent such amounts constitute any Collateral for the Senior Obligations or the proceeds of any such Collateral.

		No Second Lien Representative or any holder of Second Lien Obligations will, in the context of its role as secured creditor or otherwise, take or

D-4


	receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral and it will hold in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives and the other holders of Senior Obligations, any Collateral or proceeds received in violation of the foregoing and promptly remit such sums to the Administrative Agent or the Senior Representatives.

Release of Collateral	The collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be released automatically (a) upon any sale or other disposition of Collateral in which the liens securing the Senior Obligations are released, in the event that such sale or other disposition is effected as a result of (i) exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Senior Representatives or (ii) pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) upon any release, sale or disposition of such collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement that results in the release of the liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations.

Buy-Out Right	Subject to certain terms and conditions the holders of Second Lien Obligations shall have the option, exercisable upon an acceleration of the Senior Obligations, an exercise of material remedies following an Event of Default, the commencement of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding with respect to the Initial Borrower or a payment default under a Second Lien Note, to purchase 100% (but not less than 100%) of the right title and interest in the Senior Obligations at par (including unpaid interest and fees).

Bankruptcy Proceedings	The Intercreditor Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against any grantor or any of its subsidiaries. In connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, no Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may, among other things:

	(a)	object to the use of cash collateral by the Administrative Agent, the Senior

D-5



				Representatives or other holders of Senior Obligations or any DIP financing and to the extent that the liens of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives and the other holders of Senior Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with the liens securing such DIP financing, the Second Lien Representative will subordinate its liens to the liens securing such DIP financing;

		(b)		seek relief from an automatic stay in respect of the Collateral;

		(c)		contest any request by the holders of Senior Obligations for adequate protection or any objection by the holders of Senior Obligations to any motion claiming a lack of such adequate protection;

		(d)		contest any lawful right of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives or the other holders of Senior Obligations to credit bid at any foreclosure sale of the Collateral; or

		(e)		(i) oppose any claim by the holders of Senior Obligations for allowance consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses or (ii) seek adequate protection in the form of payments of post-petition interest, fees or expenses.

		No Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations shall be permitted to seek adequate protection except to the extent of (1) second priority liens in additional Collateral granted to the holders of Senior Obligations and (ii) replacement second priority liens on Collateral. In the event that any holder of Senior Obligations is required to pay any amount in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding, such holder of Senior Obligations shall be entitled to a reinstatement of the Senior Obligations in respect of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, a Second Lien Representative or holder of Second Lien Obligations may, subject to customary exceptions, (a) exercise the rights of an unsecured creditor so

D-6


		long as such exercise of rights would not violate any express provision of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) exercise, propose, vote on, file and prosecute, object to, and make other filings with regard to, any chapter 11 plan not inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement. The provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall also apply to any securities distributed pursuant to any plan of reorganization.

Amendments of Documents		Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement or the documentation governing the other Senior Obligations or Second Lien Obligations, documents entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Senior Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Credit Agreement, the other Senior Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations may be refinanced, in each case without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Representatives, the other holders of Senior Obligations, any Second Lien Representative or any holder of the Second Lien Obligations; provided that the representative of the holders of any refinancing debt shall bind itself in writing to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indenture or credit agreement or security document entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Senior Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification would contravene any of the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that any security document with respect to the liens securing the Senior Obligations is amended, waived or otherwise modified for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any of the security documents or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or modification shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of any comparable security document with respect to the Second Lien Obligations.

D-7


Amendments, Waivers under the Intercreditor Agreement		The Intercreditor Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Senior Representative and each Second Lien Representative party thereto.

Governing Law		The State of New York.

Intercreditor Agreement (First Lien Parity Debt)

Term Sheet

The following summary is intended to apply to the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into in connection with an issuance or incurrence of (a) First Priority Refinancing Debt or (b) senior secured notes permitted under Section 2.24, Section 7.2(b)(iv) or Section 7.2(b)(vi) of the Credit Agreement (each, “First Lien Parity Debt”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Expo Event Midco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Emerald Expositions Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Initial Borrower”), the other borrowers from time to time party thereto (together with the Initial Borrower, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”). The following is not intended to be a definitive list or complete articulation of all of the provisions that will be contained in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement will include, in addition to the provisions set forth herein, provisions that are customary or typical or are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative.


Parties		The Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative, Holdings and one or more Senior Representatives of the lenders or holders (as applicable) of First Lien Parity Debt (each, a “First Lien Representative” and, collectively, the “First Lien Secured Parties”).

Lien Priorities		The liens securing First Lien Parity Debt will be pari passu in all respects (except with respect to control of remedies or as otherwise set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement) to the liens securing the Obligations; provided that each Series of First Lien Parity Debt shall solely bear any Impairment (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a First Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First Lien Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such impairment exists. In furtherance of the foregoing, the holders of First Lien Obligations of such Series (and not the First

D-9


		Lien Secured Parties of any other Series) bear the risk of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (x) any of the First Lien Obligations of such Series are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than another Series of First Lien Obligations), (y) any of the First Lien Obligations of such Series do not have a valid and perfected security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series of First Lien Obligations and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series of First Lien Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of First Lien Obligations but junior to the security interest of any other Series of First Lien Obligations (any such condition with respect to any Series of First Lien Obligations, an “Impairment” of such Series).

Collateral		The Collateral and the collateral securing the First Lien Parity Debt (the “Parity Collateral”) will be substantially identical and the documents and agreements evidencing the Collateral will be substantially identical.

Prohibition on Contesting Liens		The Administrative Agent and the First Lien Representatives will not contest or support any other person in contesting, the priority, validity, perfection or enforceability of each other’s liens on the Collateral or the Priority Collateral, as applicable.

No New Liens		If the Administrative Agent or a First Lien Representative acquires any lien on any assets of the Borrowers or any guarantor which assets are not also subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent and each First Lien Representative, as applicable, then the Administrative Agent or such First Lien Representative, as applicable, will hold such lien for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the First Lien Representatives until the Administrative Agent and/or each First Lien Representative acquires a lien in such assets. To the extent that the foregoing is not complied with, any amounts received or distributed to any First Lien Representative or any First Lien Secured Party or the Administrative Agent as a result of Liens in contradiction of the foregoing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other First Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, and promptly remitted thereto.

D-10



Enforcement		Subject to exceptions reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent, until the Obligations are paid in full and any commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any First Lien Representative or any lender or holder of First Lien Parity Debt. Each First Lien Representative that is not the Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, shall irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such First Lien Representative to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Intercreditor Agreement, including the exercise of any and all remedies under each collateral document of each Series with respect to Collateral and the execution of releases in connection therewith.

Release of Collateral		The Collateral shall be released automatically from securing the First Lien Parity Debt upon any sale or other disposition of Collateral in which the liens securing the Obligations are released, in the event that that such sale or other disposition is effected as a result of (a) exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent or (b) pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Amendment of Documents		Documents entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement or the First Lien Parity Debt may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Credit Agreement and the First Lien Parity Debt may be refinanced, in each case without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any First Lien Representative or any holders of any First Lien Parity Debt; provided that a Senior Representative of the holders of any refinancing debt shall bind itself in writing to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing no security document entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement or the First Lien Parity Debt may

D-11


		be amended supplemented or otherwise modified to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification would contravene any of the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Amendments, Waivers under the Intercreditor Agreement		The Intercreditor Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each First Lien Representative party thereto.

Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings		The Intercreditor Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against any grantor or any of its subsidiaries. If any grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each First Lien Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) agrees that it will not raise any objection to any such financing or to the liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral, unless a majority in interest of the Lenders (or such greater amount as is necessary to take action under the Credit Agreement) shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the liens on any such Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each other First Lien Representative will subordinate its liens with respect to such Collateral on the same terms as the liens of the Administrative Agent and the lenders (other than any liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the liens on any such Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each other First Lien Representative and Secured Party represented thereby will confirm

		the priorities with respect to such Collateral), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their liens on all such Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First Lien Secured Parties as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement (other than any liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens).

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Guarantors have entered into the Credit Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit to or for the benefit of the Borrowers;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.9(c) of the Credit Agreement, the undersigned is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement by executing a Joinder Agreement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary Guarantor”) is executing this joinder agreement (“Joinder Agreement”) to the Credit Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Revolving Loans and the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit and as consideration for the Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agree as follows:

1. Guarantee. In accordance with Section 6.9(c), as applicable, of the Credit Agreement, the New Subsidiary Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each reference to a Subsidiary Guarantor in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary Guarantor. The New Subsidiary Guarantor hereby attaches supplements to the schedules to the Credit Agreement applicable to it.

3. Severability. Any provision of this Joinder Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such

4. Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Joinder Agreement.

6. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the New Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be governed by the terms of Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

7. Governing Law.

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows:

1. I am the Chief Financial Officer of the Initial Borrower.

2. I have reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and the definitions and provisions contained in the Credit Agreement relating thereto and, in my opinion, have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable me to express an informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

3. Based upon my review and examination described in paragraph 2 above, I certify on behalf of the Initial Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, that, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement:

(i) The sum of the “fair value” of the assets of the Initial Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, exceeds the sum of all debts of the Initial Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as such quoted terms are determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors.

(ii) The “present fair saleable value” of the assets of the Initial Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts of the Initial Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as such debts become absolute and matured, as such quoted term is determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors.

(iii) The capital of the Initial Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business in which they are or are about to become engaged.

(iv) The Initial Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay as they mature.

For purposes of clauses (i) through (iv) above, (a) (i) “debt” means liability on a “claim” and (ii) “claim” means any (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, subordinated, secured or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured and (b) the amount of any contingent, unliquidated and disputed claim and any claim that has not been reduced to judgment at any time has been computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability irrespective of whether such liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5).

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED GLOBAL INTERCOMPANY NOTE


Note Number: [●]		Dated: May 22, 2017

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, to the extent a borrower (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”) from time to time from any Person listed on Schedule A attached hereto (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”), hereby promises to pay on demand to the order of such Person, in lawful money as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee, in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other Indebtedness now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown either on Schedule B attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the books and records of such Payee. The failure to show any such Indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. Capitalized terms used in this subordinated intercompany promissory note (this “Intercompany Note”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Expo Event Midco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Emerald Expositions Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Initial Borrower”), the other borrowers from time to time party thereto (together with the Initial Borrower, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”).

The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Interest shall be due and payable at such times as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Upon demand for payment of any principal amount hereof, accrued but unpaid interest on such principal amount shall also be due and payable. Interest shall be paid in any lawful currency as may be agreed upon by the relevant Payor and Payee and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed as may be agreed upon by the relevant Payor and Payee.

Each Payor and any endorser of this Intercompany Note hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

This Intercompany Note has been pledged by each Payee that is a Loan Party to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for such Payee’s obligations, if any, under the Loan Documents to which such Payee is a party. Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of each Payee that is a Loan Party under this Intercompany Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor.

Each Payee agrees that any and all claims of such Payee against any Payor that is a Loan Party or any endorser of this Intercompany Note, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) until the Discharge of Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement); provided, that each Payor that is a Loan Party may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and

I-1

be continuing; and provided, further, that all loans and advances made by a Payee pursuant to this Intercompany Note shall be received by the applicable Payor subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of such Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Payor constituting part of the Collateral (such assets, the “Specified Collateral”) shall be and hereby are expressly subordinated to the rights of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Specified Collateral. Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, the Payees shall have no right to possession of any Specified Collateral or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any Specified Collateral, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until the Discharge of Obligations.

After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if all or any part of the assets of any Payor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of any Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any Payor is dissolved or if (except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents) all or substantially all of the assets of any Payor are sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other investment property, or otherwise, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of such Payor to any Payee (“Payor Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Agent for application to any of the Obligations, due or to become due, until the Discharge of Obligations. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Payee that is a Loan Party irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Agent as such Payee’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Agent’s own names or in the name of such Payee or otherwise, as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Intercompany Note. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Payee that is a Loan Party also agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim in respect of the Payor Indebtedness requested by the Agent. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding (and the applicable Payee shall not be entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any proceeds thereof be received by any Payee that is a Loan Party upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to such Payee prior to the Discharge of Obligations, such Payee that is a Loan Party shall receive and hold the same for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Payee where necessary or advisable in the Agent’s judgment), for application to any of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of such Payee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if such Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Agent, the Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Payee that is a Loan Party agrees that until the Discharge of Obligations, such Payee will not (i) assign or transfer, or agree to assign or transfer, to any Person (other than in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise) any claim such Payee has or may have against any Payor, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, discount or extend the time for payment of any Payor Indebtedness, or (iii) otherwise amend, modify, supplement, waive or fail to enforce any provision of this Intercompany Note.

I-2

The Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries hereof and shall be entitled to enforce the subordination and other provisions hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any such promissory note or other instrument, this Intercompany Note shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any Group Member to any other Group Member.

THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Holdings may become parties hereto by executing a counterpart signature page to this Intercompany Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Payor”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Payor shall be a Payor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Payor were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor hereunder. This Intercompany Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor hereunder.

This Intercompany Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
