2.2 Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) (i) During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period for such Class, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.2 to the Borrower in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment for such Class; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Credit Loans in no event shall the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. Each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class shall expire on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for such Class and all Revolving Credit Loans for such Class and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans for such Class and the Revolving Credit Commitments for such Class shall be paid in full no later than such date. Any Revolving Credit Loans made on the Closing Date or any of the three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date, may only consist of Base Rate Loans unless the Borrower delivers a funding indemnity letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender, will make a Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 available to the Borrower on the Third Amendment Effective Date; provided that, (A) the Borrower shall have the right to repay Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania on a non-pro rata basis, prior to the Conversion Date, with the proceeds of an equity contribution, directly or indirectly, from New Media to the Borrower (the “Equity Contribution”), all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest with respect to such Third Amendment

Incremental Revolving Credit Loan and (B) on the Conversion Date, any outstanding principal amount of such Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loan that has not been repaid shall be converted into a Third Amendment Incremental Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.27; provided further, that the Revolving Credit Commitment with respect to any portion of the Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loan that is repaid shall be deemed automatically terminated in connection with such repayment.

(i) Except pursuant to Section 2.4(d), Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, and Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) Subject to Section 4.2(a), whenever the Borrower desires that Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed and delivered Borrowing Notice, which notice shall be irrevocable, (x) in the case of Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, no later than 10:00 aA.mM . (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, (y) otherwise, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (z) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan.

(iii) Notice of receipt of each Borrowing Notice in respect of Revolving Credit Loans, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, if any, together with the applicable interest rate, shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by telefacsimile with reasonable promptness, but (provided Administrative Agent shall have received such notice by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Notice from the Borrower.

(iv) Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 aA.mM . (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding Office of the Administrative Agent. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Borrowing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Credit Loans received by the Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office designated by the Administrative

Agent or such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(a) Swing Line Loans Commitments. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan, in no event shall the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.3 may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. The Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid in full no later than such date.

(i) Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) Subject to Section 4.2(a), whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice, which notice shall be irrevocable, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Borrowing Date.

(iii) Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan made by the Swing Line Lender available to the Borrower on the applicable Borrowing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Funding Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iv) With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary

notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Credit Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan made by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of the Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of the Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Credit Note issued by the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.16.

(v) If for any reason Revolving Credit Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one (1) Business Day’s notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Funding Office of the Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have

against the Swing Line Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that the Swing Line Lender had not received prior notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 4.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(a) Letters of Credit. During the period that is at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the end of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower; provided, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall (x) the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect and (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations exceed the L/C Sublimit; and (v) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) (unless such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized) and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at least seven (7) days prior to the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided further, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless either (i) such Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit can be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) as provided in Section 2.22(a)(iv) or (ii) the Borrower Cash Collateralizes the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) or the Issuing Bank has otherwise entered into arrangements

satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender.

(b) Notice of Issuance. Subject to Section 4.2(a), whenever the Borrower desires the issuance or amendment (to either increase the amount available for drawings under any Revolving Credit Facility Letter of Credit or to extend the maturity date thereof) of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Request no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Such Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by any documentary or other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by the Issuing Bank in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance or cancellation of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly provide written or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such issuance, amendment, modification or cancellation of a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator by its terms shall purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the applicable Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular.

(c) Responsibility of the Issuing Bank with Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to accept the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit which appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,

cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments to make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.2, Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans are not received by the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loans under this Section 2.4(d).

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase (regardless of

whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied), from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that the Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of the unreimbursed amount (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, an amount in Dollars equal to its respective participation and in same day funds, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of the Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment fails to make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address as set forth in its administrative questionnaire or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Credit Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit

proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of the Loan Documents or Letter of Credit; (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder (other than payment or performance in full); (vii) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (viii) any breach hereof or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (x) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 9.5, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (2) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority.

(h) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders (or Affiliates thereof) to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement (and such designation shall be effective with respect to Letters of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such Lender). From and after the effective date of such designation, any Lender designated as an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(h) shall have the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement. Any Lender that becomes an Issuing Bank shall not cease to be an Issuing Bank hereunder if it later ceases to be a Lender hereunder.

(i) Resignation and Replacement of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank upon 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower; provided that such resignation shall be effective only upon the effective date of the replacement of such Issuing Bank with a successor Issuing Bank in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(i); provided further that such resignation

shall become effective notwithstanding the failure to appoint a successor Issuing Bank if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and such resignation shall be effective with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such Lender). An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, within five (5) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to the Letters of Credit; provided that the obligation to so Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit will become effective immediately, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 7.1(f).

(i) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that such Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.4(j) in respect of Letters of Credit shall first be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for unreimbursed drawings in respect of such Letters of Credit, second be held for the satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit, and third if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations.

(iii) Termination of Requirement.

The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments without premium or penalty; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $500,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. The foregoing requirements of this Section 2.8 shall not apply to the termination of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments corresponding to the Third Amendment Incremental Revolver Increase so long as such Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2(a)(ii) or Section 2.27. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the L/C Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the L/C Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and, with the exception of the termination of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments corresponding to the Third Amendment Incremental Revolver Increase in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2(a)(ii) or Section 2.27, shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof; provided that a notice of termination or partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the Disposition of assets or the closing of a merger or acquisition transaction, in which case such notice of termination or partial reduction may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied or delayed in effectiveness.

2.9 Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as

otherwise provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that (i) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 and (ii) no prior notice is required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof; provided that a notice of voluntary prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the Disposition of assets or the closing of a merger or acquisition transaction, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied or delayed in effectiveness. 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 Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) Loan Repricing Protection. In the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the ~~Closing~~Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower (a) makes any prepayment of the ~~Initial Term Loans or First~~Fourth Amendment ~~Incremental~~Refinanced Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction or (b) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction with respect to the ~~Initial Term Loans or First~~Fourth Amendment ~~Incremental~~Refinanced Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, (i) in the case of clause (a), a prepayment premium not to exceed 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the ~~Initial Term Loans or First~~Fourth Amendment ~~Incremental~~Refinanced Term Loans being prepaid and (ii) in the case of clause (b), a payment not to exceed 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable ~~Initial Term Loans or First~~Fourth Amendment ~~Incremental~~Refinanced Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that is subject to such Repricing Transaction (it being understood that if a Non-Consenting Lender is removed pursuant to Section 2.23 in connection with a Repricing Transaction, such fee shall be paid to the Non-Consenting Lender and not to the replacement Lender pursuant to Section 2.23). In the event that on or prior to the date which is six months after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower (A) makes any prepayment of the Third Amendment Incremental Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction or (B) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction with respect to the Third Amendment Incremental Term Loan, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, (i) in the case of clause (A), a prepayment premium not to exceed 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Third Amendment Incremental Term

(b) Asset Sales and Recovery Events. Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any NM Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale (excluding any such Disposition permitted by clause (a), (b) (except in reference to Section 6.4(c), unless such Disposition is to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h), (j) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor), (k), (l), (n), (o), (p), (q), (r), (s), (t) or (u) of Section 6.5)) during any fiscal year or Recovery Event, then, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of receipt by such NM Group Member of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid, and/or the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be Cash Collateralized, by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.10(d); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of the Borrower, any NM Group Member may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business other than printing paper, ink, Inventory (as defined in the UCC) or raw materials (or to use such Net Cash Proceeds to replace assets Disposed of in such Asset Sale) within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if such NM Group Member enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of such twelve-month period; provided further, that if any Net Cash Proceeds that are not so reinvested, such Net Cash Proceeds less any amount previously expended to acquire, refurbish, improve and/or repair such assets shall be applied at the end of such reinvestment period; provided, however, that no such Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with any Asset Sale and not reinvested pursuant to the first or second proviso above shall be required to be used to prepay the Term Loans until the aggregate amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds received and not reinvested during the term of this Agreement shall exceed $1,000,000 (the “Asset Sale Threshold Amount”) (and thereafter, only Net Cash Proceeds received and not reinvested in excess of such Asset Sale Threshold Amount shall be required to be used to prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.10(d)).

(c) Excess Cash Flow. After the end of the fourth fiscal quarter in any fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year started December 30, 2013), the Borrower shall deliver, pursuant to Section 5.2(d)(ii), the Borrower’s calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year (the “Annual Excess Cash Flow”). Within 10 Business Days of delivery thereof, the

Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.10(d) in an amount equal to (i) the ECF Percentage multiplied by the Annual Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, minus (ii) the sum of (A) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans (other than voluntary prepayments made with proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans or loans under any other revolving facility) made pursuant to Section 2.9(a) and (B) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans (other than the prepayment of the Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii)) or loans under any other revolving facility that is secured, in whole or in part, by a first priority lien (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the corresponding Revolving Credit Commitments or other revolving commitments), in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), made during such fiscal year (without duplication of any prepayments in such fiscal year that reduced the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be repaid pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) for any prior fiscal quarter or fiscal year) or after such fiscal year-end and prior to the time such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) is due and to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of calculating the Annual Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year started December 30, 2013, such calculation shall only include Excess Cash Flow accumulated during the fiscal quarters ending September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2014.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in any Extension Amendment or Incremental Amendment, (i) amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10(e) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Line Loans, second to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and third to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations and (ii) amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) through 2.10(c) shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Classes of Term Loans outstanding based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans, pro rata, and applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal under each such Class of the Term Loan Facility on a pro rata basis, second, to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and, third, to replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a Cash Collateral Account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If for any reason the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall promptly repay such of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit do not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, together with interest accrued to the date of such payment or prepayment on the principal so prepaid if required hereby and any amounts payable under Section 2.19 in connection therewith; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Any prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall first be applied to prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans. To

the extent that after giving effect to any prepayment of Loans required by this paragraph, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit at such time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent deposit in a Cash Collateral Account upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount by which Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Cash Collateral Account (to the extent thereof) to pay any Reimbursement Obligations which are or become due thereafter at the end of the Interest Periods therefor, provided that, (x) the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower from time to time such portion of the amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to the extent such amount is not required to be so deposited in order for the Borrower to be in compliance with this paragraph and (y) the Administrative Agent may so apply such cash at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. “Cash Collateral Account” means an account specifically established by the Borrower for purposes of this Section 2.10 and hereby pledged to the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this Section 2.10.

(f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment required to be made pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice or Excess Cash Flow calculation, as applicable, and of such appropriate Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. Each Term Loan Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share, or other applicable share provided for under Section 2.10 (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Loan 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 Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of such Lender’s Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds remaining shall be retained by the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.10(b) (a “Foreign Asset Sale”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Recovery Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so

long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to 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 Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the extent otherwise provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale, any Foreign Recovery Event or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

(h) Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19.

2.11 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the date that is 14 days prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility then in effect, after giving effect to any request to extend the applicable Maturity Date then in effect delivered in accordance with Section 2.25. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is 14 days prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility then in effect, after giving effect to any request to extend the applicable Maturity Date then in effect delivered in accordance with Section 2.25, and provided, further, that if the Borrower 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 converted automatically to Base Rate 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.

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

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(c) Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) (including as a result of an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower under Section 7.1(f)), the overdue principal amount of all Loans outstanding shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans, or, in the case of any overdue fees or other amounts owed hereunder and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Loans (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws), at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.12 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Rate 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 Rate Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten (10) Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to, for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, the rate of

interest for the period from the applicable Reimbursement Date to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower shall be 2.00% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

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

2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate 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. Fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto 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 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 Base Rate or the Eurodollar Reserve Requirements 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 and the relevant Lenders of the closing date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

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

2.14 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required 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 notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent (in the case of clause (b), acting upon the request of the Required Lenders) notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Borrowing Notice that requests the

conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and if any Borrowing Notice requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

2.15 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except for the borrowing of the Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans which shall be borrowed pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii), each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to clause (i) below with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. Subject to clause (i) below with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Credit Percentages of the Revolving Credit Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Facilities pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of Term Loans under such Facilities. Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of the Term Loans outstanding under any Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Subject to clause (i) below, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit.

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

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in the relevant currency and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day shall be

deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Borrowing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Borrowing Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Borrowing Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrower until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (ii) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (iii) such Lender’s failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date, at Administrative Agent’s option, such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrower through and including the time of the Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Borrowing Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.15(f) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower 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 average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

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

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or prior to the earlier of (x) the Conversion Date and (y) the date on which all outstanding Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans have been repaid, (i) each payment of interest in respect of Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder with respect thereto shall be applied solely to the amounts of such obligations owing to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and the Revolving Credit Lenders agree to such application on a non-pro rata basis, (ii) each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee payable in connection with the Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans and any reduction of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments corresponding to the Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be made solely to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and the Revolving Credit Lenders agree to such application on a non-pro rata basis and (iii) the payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Third Amendment Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be made solely to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and the Revolving Credit Lenders agree to such application on a non-pro rata basis.

~~2.16~~ ~~Ratable Sharing~~. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, or by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under any Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall immediately (i) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations

shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise any rights of payment (including the right of setoff but subject to Section 9.7) owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (ii) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.

(i) shall 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 hereunder;

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.18 and any Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than related to Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Rate 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 Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 2.17(a) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances and from similarly situated borrowers under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof 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 Letter of Credit to a level below that which

such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 2.17(b) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances and from similarly situated borrowers under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.18 Taxes. (a) Except as required by applicable Law, all payments made by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes.

(b) If any Loan Party is required by applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable to any Lender or Agent under any Loan Document: (i) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deduction or withholding and pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, and (ii) if the Tax in question is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable to such Lender or Agent (as applicable) shall be increased by the Loan Party to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any required deduction or withholding for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 2.18), the Lender or the Agent (as applicable), receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required or made; and (iii) within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which the Loan Party is required by clause (i) above to pay, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(c) In addition (and without duplication), the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender and Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Agent and any 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender

(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 2.18(d)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code.

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms).

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit G (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms).

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, applicable

W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.18 if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

2.19 Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees 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 the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)

over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower 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.

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

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

2.22 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, 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. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.1.

(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 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7, 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or to the Swing Line Lender

hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, that Defaulting Lender, until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.7 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in 2.7(b)(i).

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares 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 Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (each, a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed

the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Non-Defaulting Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in Section 2.22(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or at law, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, fully Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s and Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest-bearing deposit accounts at Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to this paragraph. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender (as applicable) will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Cash collateral provided under any of this Section 2.22 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, that cash collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.22(b) may be otherwise applied as required by the Loan Documents).

(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank 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), that 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 Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon that 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 Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.23 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If any Lender (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.17 or 2.18 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.20, (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not agree to an amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent in the event where there is a proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.1, which requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans/Commitments and where the consent of the Required Lenders (or the requisite percentage of Lenders under Section 9.1) shall have been obtained (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any such Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Lender (a “Terminated Lender”) (and such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Persons permitted to become Lenders hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) prior to any such replacement pursuant to clause (a) or (b), such Terminated Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.17 or 2.18 or to eliminate the illegality referred to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.20, (iii) such Terminated Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.19 and, in the case of a Repricing Transaction, any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.9(b) that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) or the Borrower (in the case of accrued interest, fees and all other amounts) and (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such Terminated Lender under Section 2.19 (as though Section 2.19 were applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto; provided, the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or Cash Collateralized with respect to such Letter of Credit or the Issuing Bank has otherwise entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any such Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.23 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee

and that the Terminated Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.6.

(a) Incremental Loan Request. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request (A) one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term loans (collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”) and/or (B) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment” and, together with any Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders. Each Incremental Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b) Incremental Loans. Any Incremental Term Loans effected through the establishment of one or more new term loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date (other than a Loan Increase) shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.24, (i) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan” or “Incremental Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans.

(c) Incremental Lenders. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment (or Incremental

Loan), nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Commitment (or Incremental Loan)) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Loan or Commitment, an “Incremental Term Lender” or “Incremental Revolving Credit Lender,” as applicable, and, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 9.6(h) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans.

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default or Event of Default under shall exist immediately before or after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (except in connection with any Permitted Acquisition, in which case this condition shall be limited to an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f));

(ii) each Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $500,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below) and each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $500,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below);

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall not exceed $225,000,000 in the aggregate ( the “Available Incremental Amount”); and

(iv) the Total Leverage Ratio after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment shall be equal to or less than 3:00 to 1.00 recomputed on a Pro Forma Basis as of the end of the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements were delivered pursuant to Section 5.1.

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class and any Loan Increase shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that in the case of a Term Loan Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees, it being understood that, if required to consummate such Loan Increase transaction, the interest rate

margins and rate floors may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Loan Increase) to the applicable Term Loans being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date. In any event:

(A) shall rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans under the Initial Revolving Credit Facility,

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date of the Term Loans as of the time of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans,

(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, except (1) by virtue of amortization or prepayment of Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence or (2) to the extent the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans (and any previous Incremental Term Loans) is shortened to match or be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the Incremental Amendment executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent with respect to such Incremental Term Loans,

(D) shall have an Applicable Margin, subject to clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above and clause (e)(ii) below, determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders,

(E) shall have an amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans on the same terms as for the Initial Term Loans, unless the amortization schedule for the Initial Term Loans (and any previous Incremental Term Loans) is increased to match (on a percentage basis of the applicable initial term loan amount) the amortization schedule applicable to such Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the Incremental Amendment executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent with respect to such Incremental Term Loans, and

(F) may participate on a non-pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(c)), as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment, but not on greater than a pro rata basis than the Initial Term Loans.

(ii) the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to any

Term Loan plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurodollar or Base Rate floor) with respect to such Term Loan is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on such Loan to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points; provided that any increase in All-In Yield to such Term Loan due to the application of a Eurodollar or Base Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Eurodollar or Base Rate floor applicable to such Term Loan.

(A) shall rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans under the Initial Revolving Credit Facility;

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as of the time of incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, and

(C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Facility (and be deemed added to, and made part of, the Revolving Credit Facility).

(f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall become Commitments or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, 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 Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise required by the Incremental Lenders, if the primary purpose of the proceeds from such Incremental Loans is to finance a Permitted Acquisition, the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall not be subject to the bring-down of the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document on and as of the date of such Borrowing of Incremental Loans other than the Specified Representations; provided that such requirement may be waived with the consent of the Required Lenders. In connection with any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Incremental Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans solely for the purposes permitted pursuant to Section 5.10. No

Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitments or Incremental Loans unless it so agrees.

(g) This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.5, 2.15 or 9.1 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.24 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Incremental Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 9.1, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment.

2.25 Extensions of Loans. Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower may, at any time, and from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical in all material respects to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended except that (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments, if any, of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization, if any, of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in the Extension Amendment, the Incremental Amendment or any other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.25(c) below), (ii)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts and OID with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(c), in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, and (v) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans extended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of

Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were extended; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Class.

(b) Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) of any portion of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Revolving Credit Class) (each, a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical in all material respects to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Revolving Credit Class from which they are to be extended except that (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to a later date than the scheduled final maturity date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolving Credit Class; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three (3) different Maturity Dates (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent), (ii)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors and upfront fees with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolving Credit Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolving Credit Class and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolving Credit Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstanding Revolving Credit Loans), (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments and (III) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of Commitments), and (iv) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Credit Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments extended pursuant to any Revolving Credit Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolving Credit Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Existing Revolving Credit Class from which they were extended; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from

an Existing Revolving Credit Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolving Credit Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolving Credit Class.

(c) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Revolving Credit Class, as applicable, are requested to respond. Any Lender holding a Term Loan under an Existing Term Loan Class (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes, as applicable, subject to such Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans, and any Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment under an Existing Revolving Credit Class (each, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments of an Existing Revolving Credit Class or Existing Revolving Credit Classes, as applicable, subject to such Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Amendment.

(d) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.25(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, as the case may be) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. Each request for an Extension Series of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments proposed to be incurred under this Section 2.25 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount). In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Sections 2.25(a) and (b), each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent necessary to (i) in respect of each Extension Amendment in respect of Extended Term Loans, amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to

reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof); (ii) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto; (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.5 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other 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 Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class and/or Existing Revolving Credit Class is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.25, in the case of the existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Loans (together with, in the case of Extended Term Loans, any other Extended Term Loans or, in the case of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, so established on such date), except as otherwise provided under Sections 2.25(a) and (b). Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(k) in connection with Letters of Credit which expire after a Maturity Date at any time Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with a later Maturity Date are outstanding, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with its percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments existing on the date of the Extension of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.4(k), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans theretofore incurred or issued).

(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective

Extension Amendment”) within 30 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class, or of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Class, in either case, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments were initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.25(d).

(g) No conversion or exchange of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.25 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(h) This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.5, 2.15 or 9.1 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.25 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Extension Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 9.1, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment.

(a) Fiscal Quarters Ended September 28, 2014 and December 28, 2014.

first, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

second, to the payment in full of all Priority Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, the Cash Collateralization of any undrawn Letters of Credit) (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Priority Lien Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution) and

Obligations under Specified Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements;

third, to the payment in full of all other Pari Passu Lien Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

fourth, to the Loan Parties, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

In addition, in the event that the Administrative Agent receives any non-cash distribution upon any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, such non-cash distribution shall be allocated in the manner described above, with the value of such non-cash distribution being reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent shall apply any cash distribution in accordance with this Section 7.2 prior to application of any such non-cash distribution. The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

7.3 Cure Rights. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1 or 7.2, in the event that Holdings and the Borrower fail or may fail to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 6.1 for any Test Period, at any time on or before the tenth Business Day after the date that the financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable, ending on the last day of such Test Period are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, New Media shall have the right (the “Cure Right”), exercisable no more than five times during the term of this Agreement (and in each Test Period for which a Cure Right is exercised, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right has been exercised), to make cash contributions to, or purchase common equity or other equity interests not constituting Disqualified Stock of, Holdings (with such cash or proceeds of equity to be contributed to the Borrower) in an amount equal to the amount required to cause Holdings and the Borrower to be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.1 for such Test Period (the “Cure Amount”), upon which the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA of the NM Group Members in accordance with the definition thereof for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Right was exercised in an amount equal to such Cure Amount (and such increase shall be included in each period that includes such fiscal quarter); provided, however, that such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA of the NM Group Members shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 with respect to any period that includes the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document. Any payment of Indebtedness from the proceeds of any Cure Right will be disregarded in the calculation of Consolidated Total Debt for purposes of determining compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 6.1.

(b) If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to Section 7.3(a) above, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 for such Test Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 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 Default or Event of Default under Section 7.1(c) that had occurred shall be deemed cured.

(c) If on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the investment of cash in equity of Holdings pursuant to the preceding clause (a), the Borrower would have been in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 as of the date of the relevant Compliance Certificate, the Event of Default under Section 6.1 shall be deemed to have not occurred.

(d) During the pendency of any cure right afforded to the NM Group Members pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any remedies described under Section 7.1 or otherwise for failure to satisfy the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.1.

8.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

8.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to

or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

8.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 9.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each 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, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) 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. Each 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, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

8.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or

any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement or any Specified Hedge Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any Specified Hedge Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the NM Group Members and without limiting the obligation of the NM Group Members to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless 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 (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any Specified Hedge Agreement 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 such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

~~8.10~~ ~~Secured Cash Management Agreements and Specified Hedge Agreements~~. No Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of Section 7.2, any Guarantee Obligation or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee Agreement 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 8 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, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Specified Hedge 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 Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be.

8.11 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 9.15. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at

any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.11. The Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office), or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreements, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.11.

8.12 The Arrangers; the Syndication Agent. None of the Arrangers or the Syndication Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.13 Lenders as Qualified Persons. Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, represents and warrants to the Loan Parties that it is a Qualified Person.

(i) reduce the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or any installment thereon or reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable under this Agreement (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility), and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenant in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of

any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or release all or substantially all of the Loan Parties from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents), in each case without the consent of all the Lenders;

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

(b) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders;

(c) (i) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms solely affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 9.1 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, (ii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including, without limitation, amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Security Documents, Guarantee Agreements, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents executed by any Loan Party or

any other Restricted Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Security Documents, Guarantee Agreements, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any borrowing of Incremental Loans, any Extension or any borrowing of Replacement Loans and otherwise to effect the provisions of Sections 2.24 or 2.25, or the immediately succeeding paragraph of this Section 9.1, respectively, and (C) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders, effect changes to any Mortgage as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent;

(d) this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Loans”) hereunder (including through “cashless rolls” of existing Term Loans); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Loans, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing of Refinanced Loans with such Replacement Loans, (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Loans) shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Refinanced Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Loans, except for call protection and to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Loans 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 Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section ~~10.01~~9.1 to the contrary; and

(e) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained the Guarantee Agreements, the Security Documents and related documents executed by Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this

Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause the Guarantee Agreements, Security Documents or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including by adding additional parties as contemplated herein).

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any 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.

9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

and, if a conflict exists among such Persons, one additional primary counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel in each material jurisdiction, (d) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Agents for, and hold each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Agents harmless from, any and all reasonable recording and filing fees and any and all reasonable liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying Other Taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letter of Credit issued hereunder and any such other documents, and (e) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, joint or several (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Indemnitees and, if necessary, one local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole per appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee) incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that no Loan Party shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or (y) resulted from any dispute that does not involve an act or omission by a Loan Party or any of their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or an Arranger under the Facilities.

all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 9.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, losses, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except in a transaction permitted pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(i) without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided however, that no Lender shall be permitted to sell any such participating interest to (i) a Disqualified Institution, (ii) a Defaulting Lender, (iii) a Person that fails to represent to such Lender that it is a Qualified Person or (iv) a natural person. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1 with respect to any amendment, waiver or consent that would (a) increase in the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of such Lender, (b) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable under this Agreement (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility), and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenant in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (b)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of such Lender, (c) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or release all or substantially all of the Loan Parties from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) and (d) change any voting thresholds. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled through the Lender granting the participation to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have

complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a Change In Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and with the written consent of (i) the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (ii) the Administrative Agent (other than to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender with a commitment in respect of the applicable Facility) and (iii) in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (provided the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained (1) in respect of an assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans, if such assignment is to a Term Loan Lender or an Affiliate of a Term Loan Lender, (2) in respect of an assignment of all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, if such assignment is to a Revolving Credit Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender, (3) with respect to any assignment made to or, in connection with the primary syndication of the Facilities during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date and (4) with respect to any assignments pursuant to clauses (g) or (k) below; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof), at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate or Related Fund thereof, to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee of the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facilities (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 with respect to the Term Loan Facility and $5,000,000 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any Commitments or Loans) shall have Commitments and Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000 or $5,000,000, as applicable, in each case unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided, further that no assignment shall be made to (i) a natural person, (ii) any Disqualified Institution, (iii) any Person that fails to represent to such Lender that it is a Qualified Person, (iv) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or

(v) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its pro rata share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the closing date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.17, 2.18 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Institution or, to the extent the Borrower’s consent required pursuant to this terms of this Section 9.6, to any other person, is void ab initio unless such assignment or participation, as the case may be, has been approved by the Borrower, in which case such assignee or participant shall not be considered a Disqualified Institution solely for such particular assignment or participation, as the case may be. In the case of an assignment not approved by the Borrower, such Disqualified Institution or, to the extent the Borrower’s consent required pursuant to this terms of this Section 9.6, to such other person shall be deleted from the Register upon written notification from the Borrower. Except for providing the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to monitor or enforce such list of Disqualified Institutions.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall also record in the Register, the Loans made to the Borrower and the payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts paid by the Borrower under the Loan Documents. The entries in the Register

shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (ii) no such fee shall be required to be paid (A) in connection with an assignment by or to any Arranger or any Affiliate thereof or (B) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Controlled Investment Affiliate thereof), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the applicable Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Note to such Assignee in an amount equal to the Loans assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained Loans, upon request, a new Note to the Assignor in an amount equal to the Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or challenge the Lenders or Administrative Agent’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of any such Affiliated Lender’s status as a Lender, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class under this Agreement held by Affiliated Lenders at the time of any such purchase or assignment shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class outstanding at such time under this Agreement (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of any Class held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(iii) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (h), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such;

(v) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (h) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the principal amount of such Term Loans or any portion thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. The Administrative

Agent may conclusively rely upon any notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and/or pursuant to clause (iii) of this subsection (h) and shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” or “Required Facility Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 9.6(i), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

(i) all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have taken any actions; and

(ii) all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (as directed by the Required Lenders), unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs (as directed by the Required Lenders); provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Loan Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.

(j) Although Debt Investment Affiliates shall be eligible Assignees and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 9.6(g), (h) or (i), any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt Investment

Affiliate only through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Facility Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans held by Debt Investment Affiliates, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 9.1.

(k) Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis; provided, that:

(i) (x) if the assignee is a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to any the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register;

(ii) purchases of Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (k) may not be funded with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans; and

(iii) in the case of Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis, such auction shall be subject to customary provisions regarding the treatment of material non-public information with respect to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (1) any Lender may in accordance with

applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.6, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, 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; 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; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Holdings and the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower 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.

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

9.9 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. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

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

9.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.12 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, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(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 or 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 its address set forth in Section 9.2 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 or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; 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 referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

9.13 Acknowledgments. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) neither the Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Holdings or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(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 Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders or among Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders.

9.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arranger, any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors who have been informed of the confidential nature of the information and has been instructed to keep such information confidential, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct contractual counterparty in swap agreements relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and their obligations or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) to the extent required in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) as may be requested or required in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) 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 or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, in the event a Lender receives a summons or subpoena to disclose confidential information to any party, such Lender shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify the Borrower

thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and to afford the Loan Parties an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as the Loan Parties may deem reasonable.

9.15 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents or in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.2(c), the Administrative Agent shall (without the requirement of any notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) promptly take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in the applicable Collateral, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness as permitted by the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by Section 9.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction contemplated by this Section 9.15, (ii) 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 9.1 or (iii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Cash Management Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank shall have been made) shall have been paid in full (or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the net termination liability under or in respect of, and other amounts due and payable under, Specified Hedge Agreements at such time shall have been paid or secured by a collateral arrangement satisfactory to the relevant Qualified Counterparties, the Collateral shall be 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 Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without the need to delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person, provided that, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute any release requested by the Borrower in such form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office).

(c) At such time as any Guarantor ceases to be a Material Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder, release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreements.

9.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, any other generally accepted accounting authority which provides regulation standard or, if applicable, the SEC.

~~9.17 ~~USA PATRIOT Act~~.~~ Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

9.18 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS, THE ISSUING BANK 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.
