Holdings acknowledges and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment, such Loan Party is not required by the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Liens and Guarantees with respect to the 2024 Incremental Revolving Commitments) to consent to the amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Loan Party to any future amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement.

Except as expressly amended hereby, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect. The parties hereto agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as amended by this Amendment, as though such terms and conditions were set forth herein.

This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

The provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

“Wholly Owned Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, a subsidiary of such Person, all of the Equity Interests of which (other than directors’ qualifying shares or nominee or other similar shares required pursuant to applicable law) are owned by such Person or another Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such Person.

In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) occurs and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of the financial covenant, standards or terms in this Agreement, then upon the written request of the Company or the Administrative Agent (acting upon the request of the Required Lenders), the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders will enter into good faith 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 Company’s financial condition will be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not occurred; provided that such Accounting Change shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement until the effective date of such amendment. “Accounting Change” means (1) any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in Dollars in Sections 5.17, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06 and 6.10, or any other applicable section hereunder being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the date with respect to which the applicable determination is being made.

89

Section 1.07 Required Financial Statements. With respect to the determination of Consolidated EBITDA, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio or any determination under any other applicable provision of the Loan Documents (including the definition of Immaterial Subsidiary) made on or prior to the date on which Required Financial Statements have been delivered (or were required to have been delivered) or are internally available, as applicable, for the first fiscal quarter ending on or after the Closing Date, such calculation will be determined for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2023, and calculated on a Pro Forma Basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any test contained in this Agreement with respect to any period during which any Specified Transaction occurs the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio or any determination under any other applicable provision of the Loan Documents (including the definition of Immaterial Subsidiary) shall be calculated with respect to such period and such Specified Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis.

Section 1.08 Certain Calculations and Tests.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when calculating any applicable ratio or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Specified Event of Default, Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, the accuracy of representations and warranties or the satisfaction of applicable covenants in connection with any action (including a Specified Transaction or any other transaction or plan undertaken or proposed to be undertaken in connection therewith) undertaken in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Transaction (but excluding the determination of compliance with Excess Availability, Distribution Conditions, Payment Conditions or any other ratios or baskets based upon the Borrowing Base)), the date of determination of such ratio or other compliance (including whether any Specified Event of Default, Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or the accuracy of representations and warranties (other than, in the case of clause (a) below, the Specified Representations) or the satisfaction of applicable covenants (but excluding the determination of compliance with Excess Availability, Distribution Conditions, Payment Conditions or any other ratios or baskets based upon the Borrowing Base)) shall, in each case at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election” and such date selected, the “LCT Test Date”), be deemed to be the date that

(a) in the case of any acquisition or other Investment (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith), either, at the option of the Company, (i) as of the date the definitive acquisition agreement for such acquisition or other Investment is entered into (or any documentation or agreement with a substantially similar effect as a binding acquisition agreement becomes effective) or (ii) at the time the relevant acquisition or other Investment is consummated,

(b) in the case of any Restricted Payment (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith), either, at the option of the Company, (i) at the time such Restricted Payment is declared or (ii) at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment and/or

90

(c) in the case of any irrevocable Indebtedness repurchase or repayment (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith), either, at the option of the Company, (i) at the time of delivery of notice with respect to such repurchase or repayment or (ii) at the time of the making of such repurchase or repayment, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant transaction, any related Indebtedness (including the intended use of proceeds thereof)

and all other permitted pro forma adjustments on a Pro Forma Basis and if, after such applicable ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and such other related and specified actions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the four consecutive fiscal quarter period being used to calculate such financial ratio or otherwise determine compliance with this Agreement ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such applicable ratios and provisions, such applicable ratios and provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt,

(x) if any of such ratios or other provisions are not complied with as a result of fluctuations in any ratio or other financial measurement (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios and other provisions will nevertheless be deemed to have been complied with solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction (and all related transactions) are permitted hereunder; provided that if such ratios or other financial tests improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios and other financial measurements, as the case may be, may be utilized at the option of the Company and

(y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related and specified actions.

If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Limited Condition Transaction and related and specified actions on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires or irrevocable notice is rescinded, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other related and specified actions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement under any covenant that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Pro Forma compliance with any Total Net Leverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio, Secured Leverage Ratio and/or Cash Interest Coverage Ratio tests) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement under the same covenant as such Fixed Amount that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts being substantially concurrently incurred (other than, in the case of any Fixed Amounts contained in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, any refinancings of any Indebtedness that was previously incurred) and any substantially concurrent borrowings under this Agreement (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence

91

Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence, except that incurrences of Indebtedness and Liens constituting Fixed Amounts and any substantially concurrent borrowings under the this Agreement shall be taken into account for purposes of any Incurrence Based Amounts under any covenant other than Incurrence Based Amounts contained in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02.

Section 1.09 Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “SOFR Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “SOFR Loan Borrowing”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “SOFR Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “SOFR Revolving Loan Borrowing”).

Section 1.10 Reclassification. For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Section 2.24, Section 5.17, Section 6.01, Section 6.02, Section 6.03, Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.06 and Section 6.09, in the event that any Lien, Indebtedness, Asset Sales and other dispositions, Permitted Investments, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness (each of the foregoing, a “Reclassifiable Item”) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items (or any combination of one or more thereof) permitted pursuant to any clause of such Section 2.24, Section 5.17, Section 6.01, Section 6.02, Section 6.03, Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.06 and Section 6.09, the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify and/or reclassify or divide such transaction or item (or portion thereof) from time to time and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one category. Upon the delivery of any Required Financial Statements following the initial incurrence or making of any Reclassifiable Item, if such Reclassifiable Item could, based on such financial statements, have been incurred or made in reliance on any “ratio-based” basket, such Reclassifiable Item shall automatically (unless the Company elects otherwise in its sole discretion) be reclassified as having been incurred or made under the applicable provisions of such “ratio-based” basket, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be used together by any Loan Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby.

Section 1.11 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “SOFR Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.

Section 1.12 Calculation of Baskets and Ratios. If any of the baskets set forth in Article VI of this Agreement are exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed fiscal quarter after the last time such baskets were calculated for any purpose under Article VI, such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations.

Section 1.13 Certifications. All certificates and other statements required to be made by any director, officer, employee or member of management or Responsible Officer of a Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document are and will be made on the behalf of such Loan Party and not in such officer’s, director’s, employee’s, or Responsible Officer’s or member of management’s individual capacity.

Section 1.14 Available Amount Transactions. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility or the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously but shall instead occur in the order determined by the Company, i.e., each transaction must be permitted under Available Amount as so calculated.

92

Section 1.15 [reserved].

Section 1.16 Company. Each of the Borrowers (other than the Company) hereby directs the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Loan to or at the direction of the Company, with such directions to be subject to approval of the Administrative Agent in its discretion, and such distribution will, in all circumstances, be deemed to be made to each of the Borrowers.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any Delaware LLC Division (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

Section 1.18 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Company so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Company, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (1) the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Daily Simple SOFR Loans (or, if Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, an ABR Loans) on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (2) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Daily Simple SOFR Loans (or, if Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, an ABR Loans) at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

ARTICLE II.

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Line Cap then in effect. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and express conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans (without premium or penalty).

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(1) Each Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made to the applicable Borrower by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Any Swing Line Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22. Any Protective Advance shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(2) Subject to Sections 2.02(5), 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans as the Company may request in accordance herewith. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of each applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such Lender will not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.14 or 2.20 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from, and existing at the time of such exercise. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Loan, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or, in each case, such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) SOFR Borrowings outstanding.

(3) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage; provided that, Swing Line Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.22. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower as specified in the Borrowing Request (or as otherwise directed by the Company); provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.23(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.

98

(4) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (1) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing

(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower will be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Maturity Date applicable to such Borrowing.

Section 2.03 Request for Borrowing. To request a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either in writing (delivered by hand or facsimile) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company or by telephone (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days (or with respect to a Borrowing on the Closing Date, two U.S. Government Securities Business Day) before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, including an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.23(5), not later than 12:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Company. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(1) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and a breakdown of the separate wires comprising such Borrowing;

(2) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a U.S. Government Securities Business Day;

(3) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing;

(4) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Loan, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing; and

(5) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

99

Section 2.04 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(1) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the thirtieth Business Day after such Protective Advance is made.

(2) At all times that a Cash Dominion Period exists following delivery of a written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Company, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to the Collection Account the previous Business Day (whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, second to prepay the Loans (including Swing Line Loans) until paid in full, and third to cash collateralize outstanding Revolving L/C Exposure.

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

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

(5) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (3) or (4) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(6) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note (each a “Note”). In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, which promissory note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns)

Section 2.05 Fees.

(1) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (collectively, “Commitment Fees”), which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by the average daily unused amount (it being understood that the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit shall be treated as utilization of the Revolving Commitments for purposes of calculating the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage) of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing with the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2023. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Swing Line Loans shall not constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee.

(2) The Borrowers agree to pay:

(a) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit (an “L/C Participation Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to SOFR Loans, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any Revolving L/C Exposure; and

100

(b) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Revolving L/C Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

L/C Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first Business Day following such last day, commencing with the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2023; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 15 days after demand. All L/C Participation Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”).

(3) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the fees contemplated in Fee Letter at the times and on the terms specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(4) Any fees under this Section 2.05 shall accrue under the terms of this Section 2.05 commencing on the Closing Date.

Section 2.06 Interest on Loans.

(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time.

(2) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time.

101

(3) Each Protective Advance shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time plus 2%.

(4) [Reserved].

(5) Interest, including interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07, shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (other than computations of interest for ABR Loans, which shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 day, as applicable) and shall be calculated from and including the date of the Borrowing to, but excluding, the date of repayment thereof. Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments, except that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be payable on demand of the Required Lenders, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable ABR or SOFR Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(6) Interest on any Borrowing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall accrue under the terms of this Section 2.06 commencing on the Closing Date.

(7) For the purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days, or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively. All calculations of interest and fees under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of the nominal rates described in this Agreement and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment. The parties acknowledge that there is a material different between the stated nominal rates and effective yearly rates taking into account reinvestment, and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine effective yearly rates.

(8) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Company, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(2) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the SOFR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective, and any SOFR Borrowing that is requested to be continued, shall be converted to a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing (or, if Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Sections 2.08(1) and (2) above, an ABR Borrowing) on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing (or, if Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Sections 2.08(1) and (2) above, an ABR Borrowing). All interest payments in respect of Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(3) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraphs (2) or (3) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.

103

Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned on a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Facility or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(2) if less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(b) and 2.02(c) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(3) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent recording, for the account of such Lender, the Type of such Loan resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any SOFR Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrowers at the time of conversion; and

The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Company shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loans) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) the Lender invokes Section 2.15 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (b) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) such circumstances are not generally affecting the banking market or (B) such request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.

(2) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(3) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section 2.14 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined and certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers will be delivered to the Company and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company will pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty days after receipt thereof.

(4) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Lender or Issuing Bank will notify the Company thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company will not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

106

Section 2.15 Illegality.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any SOFR Loan (or ABR Loans determined with reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate) or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any SOFR Loan, then, by written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent:

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

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding SOFR Loans made by such Lender shall be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

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

(3) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Company by any Lender shall be effective as to each SOFR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such SOFR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Company. Such Lender shall withdraw such notice promptly following any date on which it becomes lawful for such Lender to make and maintain SOFR Loans or give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any SOFR Loan.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Borrowers will compensate each Lender for the actual out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) attributable to the following events:

(1) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default);

(2) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(3) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto; or

(4) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.21.

Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender will be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of

107

such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a SOFR Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market; it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor and all administrative, processing or similar fees.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined will be delivered to the Company and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17 Pro Rata Treatment; Intercreditor Agreements.

(1) Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 and as required under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.20, each Revolving Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee under Section 2.05(1) and the participation fee under Section 2.05(2), each reduction of the Revolving Commitments and each conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as a Revolving Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Revolving Commitments (or, if such Revolving Commitments has expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swing Line Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments. In addition, in computing such Lender’s portion of any Revolving Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Revolving Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Company), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.13) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when a Cash Dominion Period exists (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.04(2)) or (ii) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(2) or (3) or during the existence of any other Event of Default (if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so direct) or during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement (or the corresponding provision of the relevant Security Document with respect to such Loan Party).

108

(3) At the election of the Administrative Agent, (A) all payments of principal, interest and L/C Disbursements and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments of fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.05), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swing Line Loans), but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.05), and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.22 or 2.25, as applicable.

Section 2.18 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower or other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.19 Payments. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices as specified in Schedule 10.01, except payments to be made directly to

109

an Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, and 2.17 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. At all times that a Cash Dominion Period exists and daily sweeps are occurring in accordance with this Agreement, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available funds applied pursuant to Section 2.04(2)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the Business Day of receipt, if received prior to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on such Business Day, and otherwise on the Business Day after receipt, in each case subject to actual collection.

Section 2.20 Taxes.

(1) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld under any applicable law from such payments (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), then (a) the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholding; (b) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (c) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholding (including deductions and withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made.

(2) The Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(3) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 2.20) paid or payable by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company 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.

(4) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(5) 

110

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.20(5)(b), 2.20(5)(c)(i)-(iv) and 2.20(5)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.20(5)(a) above, each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereof) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.20(5)(a) above, each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), two duly completed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party and establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to such treaty;

(ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto);

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit D to the effect that (1) such Foreign Lender is not:

(x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

111

(y) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; or

(z) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; and

(2) no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with the Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business;

(B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto);

(iv) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and any additional Form W-8IMYs) as may be required; or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(d) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(5)(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.20(5), no Lender shall be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 2.20(5) any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Each lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(5).

(g) On or before the date of this Agreement (and on or before the date any successor or replacement Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), to the extent copies thereof have not previously been so delivered, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, two duly executed copies of either (i) Internal

112

Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) or (ii) (x) with respect to amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) and (y) with respect to amounts payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” of a foreign bank and agrees to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments or it is a “qualified intermediary” and agrees to assume primary withholding responsibility for purposes of Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility.

(6) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts in each case pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over promptly an amount equal to such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.20(6) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(6) in no event shall such Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.20(6) the payment of which would place such Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.20(6) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith, to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(7) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Loan Party may deduct and withhold any Taxes required by any law to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.20.

(8) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(9) For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and the terms “Recipient” and “Lender” include any Issuing Bank.

Section 2.21 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(1) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, or if any Lender or Issuing Bank determines it can no longer make or maintain SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable will, if requested by the Company, use commercially reasonable

113

efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking any of its Loans hereunder that are affected by such event or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.20, as applicable, in the future; provided that such efforts would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14 or Section 2.20, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, or if any Lender determines it cannot make SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, (a) terminate the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender and repay the Loans of such Lender on a non-pro rata basis without premium or penalty (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(2)(b)(ii)) or (b) require such Lender or Issuing Bank (and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be obligated), as applicable, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in L/C Disbursements and Swing Line Loans and, other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from (x) in the case of clause (a) above, the Borrowers or (y) in the case of clause (b) above, the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. Nothing in this Section 2.21 will be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(3) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.08, requires the consent of such Lender and with respect to which the Required Lenders have granted their consent, then the Company may (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent), at its sole expense and effort, (a) terminate the Available Unused Commitment of Lender and repay the Loans of such Lender on a non-pro rata basis without premium or penalty (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(2)(b)(ii) or (b) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued Fees and any amounts due under Section 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 or 2.25) being removed or replaced will be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such removal or assignment and (ii) in the case of clause (b) above, the replacement Lender will purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender will be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment, in the

114

case of clause (b) above, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Company, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 10.04; provided that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Company’s request, compliance with Section 10.04 will not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.22 Swing Line Loans.

(1) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan in Dollars (any such Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.22 being referred to as a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit, (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Revolving Commitments, or (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Line Cap. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. To request a Swing Line Loan, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the day of a proposed Swing Line Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such notice received from the Company. The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the Company by means of a credit to an account of the Company as specified in the Borrowing Request (or as otherwise directed by the Company) (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.23(5), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.17(3), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan.

(2) The Swing Line Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than noon on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.02(4) and (5) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(4) and (5) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swing Line Lender. Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Company (or other party on behalf of the Company) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a

115

sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that has made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swing Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of any default in the payment thereof.

(3) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, shall request Settlement with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis as set forth in Section 2.30(1). Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans and, together with Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swing Line Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.02(5).

(4) If a Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then on such Maturity Date all then outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Line Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date); provided that, if on the occurrence of such Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.23(11)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swing Line Loans could be incurred pursuant to the Extended Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swing Line Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and such Swing Line Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.23 Letters of Credit.

(1) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit in Dollars for its own account or for the account of the Borrowers and any of Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors, with each Letter of Credit being in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(2) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 12:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a Letter of Credit Request, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire

116

(which shall comply with paragraph (3) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Applicable Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments, (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Line Cap and (iv) the sum of (x) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (y) the aggregate amount of all L/C Disbursements of such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed, shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment.

(3) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above unless cash collateralized or backstopped in accordance herewith).

(4) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, its Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (5) of this Section 2.23, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment will be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(5) Reimbursement. If the Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than noon on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers have received notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrowers prior to such time on such date, then not later than noon (Eastern Standard Time), on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.22 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swing Line Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement,

117

the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.02(4) and 2.02(5) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(4) and 2.02(5) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swing Line Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(6) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (5) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, has any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Letter of Credit’s applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing (including clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the previous sentence) shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit:

(7) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the applicable Issuing Bank

118

has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(8) Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section, then Section 2.07 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(9) Replacement of an Issuing Bank and Additional Issuing Banks.

(a) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(2). From and after the effective date of any such replacement.

(b) (x) the successor Issuing Bank has all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) 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 of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto 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, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. The Borrowers 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 (not to exceed three (3) such Lenders at any time) to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (9)(b) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender

(10) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Administrative Agent) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “L/C Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (8) or (9) of Section 8.01.

119

Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent has exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the L/C Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

(11) Extended Commitments. If a Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Commitments are in effect, then (i) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.23(4) and (5)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders) the Extended Revolving Commitments, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrowers shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.23(10). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of such Maturity Date with respect to existing Revolving Loans shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders of Extended Revolving Loans in any Letter of Credit issued before the Maturity Date.

Section 2.24 Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(1) The Company may, at any time, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and loans in respect thereof, “Incremental Revolving Loans”); provided that upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Amendment referred to below, subject to Section 1.08, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be accurate in all respects). Each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or such lower amount that either (a) represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (b) is acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $250,000,000. Each notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Revolving Commitment. Incremental Revolving Commitments may be made by any Additional Lender; provided that the relevant Persons under Section 10.04 has consented (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s Incremental Revolving Commitment, if such consent would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Revolving Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender. The Arranger agrees,

120

upon the request of the Company and pursuant to mutually satisfactory engagement and compensation arrangements, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Additional Lenders to make any such requested Incremental Revolving Commitment; provided that the Arranger’s agreement to use such efforts does not constitute a commitment to provide any such requested Incremental Revolving Commitment.

(2) Commitments in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Revolving Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Revolving Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Revolving Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24. The effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, a “Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Amendment). The Borrowers may use the proceeds of Revolving Loans provided pursuant to any Incremental Revolving Commitment for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment unless it so agrees in its sole discretion. Any Lender that fails to respond to a request to increase its Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have declined such request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to first offer to any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(3) The Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the Guaranty and the Security Documents, respectively. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Revolving Loans or any such new Revolving Commitments.

(4) After giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, it may be the case that the outstanding Revolving Loans are not held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment, the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders) shall make advances among themselves so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders), pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Facility Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment).

Section 2.25 Protective Advances

(1) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Company and the Lenders, from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but has absolutely no obligation to), to make Revolving Loans to the Company, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral,

121

or any portion thereof, (ii) [reserved] or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 10.05) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Revolving Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base as then in effect; provided, further that, the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposure (including outstanding Protective Advances) shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.25(2).

(2) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Revolving Facility Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

Section 2.26 [Reserved].

Section 2.27 Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

(b) 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 Article VIII or otherwise), will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender;

122

(iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loans;

(iv) fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent;

(v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement

(vii) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, L/C Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender. 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 2.27(1)(b) will be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.

(c) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) will not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.05(1) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers will not be required to pay to such Defaulting Lender any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) will not be entitled to receive any letter of credit participation fee pursuant to Section 2.05(2)(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (although the Borrowers will be required to pay any such letter of credit participation that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender to the non-Defaulting Lenders or Issuing Bank, in accordance with any reallocation of Fronting Exposure to non-Defaulting Lenders or as may be retained by the Issuing Bank, as the case may be)).

(d) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the

123

obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.22, the Revolving Facility Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender will be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, and such obligation to so acquire, refinance or fund participations in such Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall automatically be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders with Revolving Commitments upon such Defaulting Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation will be given effect only to the extent such that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans will not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (i) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender.

(e) Elimination of Remaining Fronting Exposure. At any time that there exists a Defaulting Lender, (i) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, the Company will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.27(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of such Borrowers with respect to the Revolving L/C Exposure and (ii) immediately upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers will repay an amount of Swing Line Loans sufficient to eliminate the Fronting Exposure of the Swing Line Lender.

(2) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and the 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving 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 Revolving Facility Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.27(1)(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 10.24, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.28 [Reserved].

Section 2.29 [Reserved].

Section 2.30 Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Loans and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

124

(1) The Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on each Thursday of each week, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent (each date on which Settlement occurs, a “Settlement Date”), (1) on behalf of Swing Line Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Line Loans, (2) for the Administrative Agent, with respect to the outstanding Protective Advances, (3) with respect to all Borrowings initially, from the Determination Date to the first Settlement Date and thereafter, since the prior Settlement Date and (4) with respect to payments received initially, from the Determination Date to the first Settlement Date and thereafter, since the prior Settlement Date, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) of such requested Settlement. Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Determination Date and ending on the date two Business Days prior to the Settlement Date (the “Determination Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.27)):

(a) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances) as of the Determination Date, then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Determination Date, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances);

(b) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances) as of the Determination Date, such Lender shall no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent’s account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Determination Date, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances);

(c) [reserved]; and

(d) [reserved].

Such amounts made available to the Administrative Agent under clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Line Loans or Protective Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Line Loans or Protective Advances representing Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.07(b), if charged by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(2) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances as of the Determination Date, the

125

Administrative Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by the Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(3) Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent Protective Advances or Swing Line Loans are outstanding, may pay over to the Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, any payments received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Protective Advances or Swing Line Loans. Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances or Swing Line Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Line Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans. If, as of any Determination Date, payments of Loan Parties received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans other than to Swing Line Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Line Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender), to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Determination Date, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Line Loans, the Administrative Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between the Administrative Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(4) Anything in this Section 2.30 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the provisions set forth in Section 2.27 shall apply.

Section 2.31 Maintenance of Loan Account. The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Borrowers’ Account”) on which Borrowers will be charged with all Revolving Loans, Protective Advances and Swing Line Loans, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Issuing Bank for Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses arising hereunder. The Borrowers’ Account will be credited with all payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or for the Borrowers’ account. The Administrative Agent shall render monthly statements regarding the Borrowers’ Account to the Company, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses arising hereunder owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lenders unless, within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof by the Company, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

Section 2.32 Extensions of Revolving Loans.

(1) Extension Offers. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Company to all Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and offered on the same terms to

126

each such Lender, any such Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate, premiums or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Commitments (and related out standings) and/or modifying optional prepayment terms, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Revolving Commitments, in each case as so extended, being a separate Class; any Extended Revolving Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Loans from the Class of Revolving Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Commitments from the Class of Commitments from which they were converted). The Company shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.32. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its existing Revolving Commitments converted into Extended Revolving Commitments (as defined below) pursuant to any Extension Offer. Each Extension Offer will specify the minimum amount of Revolving Commitments with respect to which an Extension Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or (a) if less, the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Commitments or (b) such lesser minimum amount as is approved by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments offered to be extended pursuant to an Extension Offer, then the Revolving Commitments of such Lenders will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the Revolving Commitments of the Lender or the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer. There is no requirement that any Extension Offer or Extension Amendment be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions. Each Lender accepting an Extension Offer with respect to Commitments of the applicable Class is referred to herein as an “Extending Lender” and the Revolving Commitments held by such Lender (and so extended) accepting an Extension Offer is referred to herein as “Extended Revolving Commitments”).

(2) Extension Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new classes in respect of the Extended Revolving Commitments. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Company and the applicable Extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, advisable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.32. This Section 2.32 supersedes any provisions in Section 10.08 to the contrary. Except as otherwise set forth in an Extension Offer, there will be no conditions to the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment. Extensions will not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(3) [Reserved].

(4) Terms of Extended Revolving Commitments. The terms of any Extended Revolving Commitments will be set forth in an Extension Offer and as agreed between the Company and the Extending Lenders accepting such Extension Offer; provided that:

127

(a) the borrowing and repayment (except for (i) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (ii) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments and (iii) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on at least a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities;

(b) such Extended Revolving Commitments are not secured by any assets or property that does not constitute Collateral;

(c) such Extended Revolving Commitments are not guaranteed by any Person that is not a Loan Party; and

(d) except as to principal amount, tranching, pricing terms (interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), call protection and maturity, the terms and conditions of such Extended Revolving Commitments are substantially identical to (including as to ranking and priority), or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Indebtedness than, those applicable to the Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Offer, as determined in good faith by the Company unless (x) the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Offer receive the benefit of such more favorable terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Maturity Date of the Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Offer.

(5) Required Consents. No consent of any Lender or any other Person will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Company and each applicable Extending Lender; provided that the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank shall not be extended in connection with any Extension of Revolving Commitments unless such Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.32 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.12 and 2.19) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.32 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.32.

Section 2.33 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. All Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans in each case under this Agreement shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers and all Letters of Credit, upon issuance, shall be deemed to be jointly issued for the account of each Borrower with respect to the Loans and each other extension of credit made hereunder. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for all of the Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of any Loans are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which the Administrative Agent and/or any other Secured Party accounts for such Loans or such other Obligations on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender from any Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other credit extensions hereunder or the amount of such Loans and credit extensions received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Loans or other credit extensions on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other credit extensions made to it hereunder, and such Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made

128

to the other Borrowers hereunder shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the joint and several liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers and is not required or given as a condition of credit extensions to such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of

(i) the release of any other Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 or 11.14 or the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement,

(ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations under this Agreement from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same,

(iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender,

(iv) the failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement,

(v) the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,

(vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code,

(vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or

(viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower.

With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other credit extensions made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until such Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of such Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to

129

the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender. Upon an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of such Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for such Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of such Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.33 shall apply to any Person released from its Obligations as a Borrower in accordance with Section 2.8 or 10.18.

Section 2.34 Contribution and Indemnification Among the Borrowers. Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower with respect to the Loans and each other extension of credit made hereunder (an “Accommodation Payment”), then such Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

Section 2.35 Subsidiary Borrower Termination. Upon the execution by the Company and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower; provided that if such Subsidiary Borrower owns any Collateral included in the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate the Subsidiary Borrower Termination shall not be effective (other than to terminate its right to borrow additional Loans or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Agreement) unless and until the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate as required under Section 5.04(8)(v); provided that where such Subsidiary Borrower is also a Guarantor (unless it is released in accordance with Section 10.18), its obligations in its capacity as Guarantor shall continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect and the amount guaranteed by it as a Guarantor shall not be decreased; provided, further that any Revolving Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower shall be immediately prepaid in connection with such Subsidiary Borrower Termination.

If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason (including any Taxes paid or payable by the Administrative Agent that are attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(4)(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid or payable, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.01(2). The agreements in this Section 9.01(2) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For purposes of this Section 9.01(2), the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

(3) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as Qualified Counterparties and Cash Management Banks) and the Issuing Bank and by accepting the benefit of any Loan Document, each Cash Management Bank and Qualified Counterparty that is not a Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on the Collateral granted by any

191

of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In connection therewith, the Administrative Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article IX (including Section 9.07) as though the Administrative Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(4) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as Qualified Counterparties and Cash Management Banks) and by accepting the benefit of any Loan Document, each Cash Management Bank and Qualified Counterparty that is not a Lender and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document:

(i) upon the Termination Date;

(ii) that is sold, or disposed of, or to be sold, or disposed of, as part of or in connection with any sale or disposition not prohibited hereunder or under any other Loan Document (to a Person that is not a Loan Party); or

(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.08 hereof;

(b) to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including the Liens on the assets of such Loan Party and the Equity Interests of such Loan Party) if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or the Termination Date occurs;

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(3) (and to the extent required by the terms thereof); and

(d) to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively as to any of the matters described in this Section 9.01 and Section 10.18 (including as to its authority hereunder and thereunder) on a certificate or similar instrument provided to it by any Loan Party without further inquiry or investigation, which certificate shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties upon request.

(5) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan

192

Party, (a) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (b) any custodian, receiver, interim receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition (each, a “Plan of Reorganization”) affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(6) The Lenders and each other holder of an Obligation under a Loan Document shall act collectively through the Administrative Agent and, without limiting the delegation of authority to the Administrative Agent set forth herein, the Required Lenders shall direct the Administrative Agent with respect to the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and under other Loan Documents (including with respect to alleging the existence or occurrence of, and exercising rights and remedies as a result of, any Default or Event of Default in each case that could be waived with the consent of the Required Lenders), and such rights and remedies shall not be exercised other than through the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any Lender from exercising any right of set-off in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 or from exercising rights and remedies (other than the enforcement of Collateral) with respect to any payment default of any Loans after the occurrence of the applicable Maturity Date with respect to any Loans made by it. Any Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Required Lenders until it has received any indemnification and/or security and/or pre-funding that it may in its discretion require for any cost, loss or liability (together with any applicable Taxes) which it may incur in complying with those instructions.

(7) By accepting the benefits of the Security Documents, each Secured Party (other than the Lenders and the Issuing Banks) shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent under the Security Documents and to have agreed to the provisions of this Section 9.01. No Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefit of the Guarantees or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof 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) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document) other than in its capacity as Agent, Issuing Bank or a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising with respect to Cash Management Obligations and Specified Hedge Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under arising with respect to Cash Management Obligations and Specified Hedge Obligations in the case of a Termination Date.

193

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of the agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may also from time to time, when such Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by such Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Company or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by any Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the relevant Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of their respective Subagents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Subagents.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall be (1) 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 non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (2) 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 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 for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party thereto 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 to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (2) each of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings

194

or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent (as applicable) is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent (as applicable) to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into:

(1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith;

(3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents;

(5) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral; or

(6) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Borrowing or issuance of Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender prior to such Borrowing. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not

195

taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral 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 or other Lenders) 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 of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Co-Collateral 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 or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. None of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the applicable Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Holdings or a 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 receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and to the Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided that unless and until the applicable Agent shall have received such directions, such 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

Section 9.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor the Lead Arrangers, 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 consent to and acceptance of any assignment or 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 such Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agents have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Agents and Lead Arrangers, that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or Lead Arrangers, 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 Credit Extensions hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Lead Arrangers, 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, 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 either Administrative Agent or Collateral 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 any Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

196

Section 9.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (and any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates acting as Agent) on demand (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the 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, losses, claims, damages, reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence, or willful misconduct; provided further that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Section 9.08 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. With respect to its Loans made or renewed 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 the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.09 Successor Agent. Subject to paragraph (e) of Section 9.13, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may respectively resign as an Agent in its respective capacity upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as Swing Line Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent shall not be required to fund any further Swing Line Loans hereunder upon the effectiveness of such resignation as Administrative Agent as provided below. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is subject to a Lender-Related Distress Event, either the Required Lenders or the Company may upon ten (10) days’ prior notice remove such Agent. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent resigns as an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or is delivered a removal notice, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent, and the reference to the resigning Agent means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and

197

approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Commitments. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or the delivery of such removal notice, then the retiring Agent (or in the case of a removal, the Company) may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as an Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation or the delivery of such removal notice, the retiring Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders will thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent (except that in the case of any collateral security held by a retiring Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Obligations, such retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed), which shall (unless a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.10 Lead Arranger. The Lead Arrangers will not have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

Section 9.11 Certain ERISA Matters.

(1) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the letters of credit,

198

the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(2) In addition, unless either (A) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (1) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (1), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 9.12 Declaration of Trust. The Collateral Agent declares that it holds the Trust Property on trust for the Secured Parties for the purpose of securing the Obligations on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Trustee Act.

(1) The Collateral Agent shall have such rights, powers, authorities and discretions as are (i) conferred on trustees by the Trustee Acts, (ii) by way of supplement to the Trustee Acts as provided for in this Agreement and the English Security Documents and (iii) any which may be vested in the Collateral Agent by law or regulation or otherwise.

(2) Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Collateral Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by this Agreement. Where there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Acts and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

(3) All moneys from time to time received or recovered by the Collateral Agent in respect of the Trust Property and the net proceeds from the realization or enforcement of all or any part of the English Transaction Security shall be held by the Collateral Agent on trust to apply them as such times as the Collateral Agent (in its discretion) sees fit to the extent permitted by applicable law (and subject to the provisions of this clause (3) in the order of priority set out in the English Security Documents).

(4) Nothing in any Loan Document constitutes the Collateral Agent as an agent, trustee or fiduciary of any Loan Party and the Collateral Agent shall not be bound to account to any other Secured Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

199

(5) If the Collateral Agent were to resign or be replaced in accordance with Section 9.09, its resignation or replacement shall only take effect upon:

(i) the appointment of a successor; and

(ii) the transfer of all the Trust Property to that successor.

Section 9.14 Termination of the Trusts. If the Collateral Agent, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, determines that:

(1) all of the Obligations and all other obligations secured by the English Security Documents have been fully and finally discharged to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent (whether or not as a result of an enforcement); and

(2) the Secured Parties are under no further commitment, obligation or liability (whether actual or contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents,

then, the trusts set out in this Agreement shall be wound up and the Collateral Agent shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of the English Transaction Security and the rights of the Collateral Agent under each of the English Security Documents; and any Collateral Agent which has resigned pursuant to Section 9.09 shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of its rights under each of the English Security Documents.

Section 9.15 Reliance.

(1) For the avoidance of doubt the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the benefit of and act in accordance with Section 9.01, including in its capacity as trustee as set forth in Sections 9.12 to Section 9.15. Any Receiver or a Delegate may rely on Section 9.07 as if referred to therein as Collateral Agent, subject to the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

(2) The Collateral Agent may appoint and pay any person to act as a custodian or nominee on any terms in relation to any asset of the trust as the Collateral Agent may determine, including for the purpose of depositing with a custodian this Agreement or any document relating to the trust created under this Agreement.

(3) Each of the Collateral Agent, any Receiver and any Delegate may, at any time (and upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) may (in its discretion) think fit), delegate by power of attorney or otherwise to any person for any period, all or any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it in its capacity as such.

(4) The Collateral Agent shall, at any time and for any purpose or reason whatsoever, have power to appoint (and subsequently remove) any person to act either as a new or additional trustee, or as co-trustee jointly with it:

(i) if it considers that appointment to be in the interests of the Secured Parties;

(ii) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition which the Collateral Agent deems to be relevant; or

(iii) for obtaining or enforcing any judgment in any jurisdiction,

200

with such of the Collateral Agent’s rights, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those given to the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Agreement and the English Security Documents), duties, obligations and responsibilities that are given or imposed by the instrument of appointment.

(5) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss, liability, expense, demand, cost, claim or proceedings incurred by reason of the misconduct, omission or default on the part of any person appointed by it under this Agreement or be bound to supervise the proceedings or acts of any person, provided that the Collateral Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.

(6) So long as it continues to be a trustee under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have power to remove any such new or additional trustee or co- trustee with or without cause.

(7) Whenever there shall be more than one Collateral Agent under this Agreement any reference to “Collateral Agent” shall be construed as a reference to those trustees or such of them as the context requires.

Section 9.16 Erroneous Payments

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.16 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

201

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.16(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.16(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.16(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto),

(A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class,

202

the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Company) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Company or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment),

(B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment,

(C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender,

(D) the Administrative Agent and the Company shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and

(E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 10.14 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Company or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any

203

Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 9.16 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Company relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(2) (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (2)(b) of this Section 10.04, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person, a Borrower, Affiliates of a Borrower, a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution) (each such non-excluded Person, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

(i) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required

206

(I) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,

(II) [reserved] or

(ii) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan or Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(iii) the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

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

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds being treated as one assignment for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirement), if any;

(ii) the Assignee or assigning Lender to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually or via email), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that such processing and recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by the Lead Arrangers or any Affiliate of the Lead Arrangers;

(iii) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.20; and

207

(iv) the assignor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note issued to it with respect to the assigned Loan or Commitment.; and

(v) the benefit of the Belgian Transaction Security and of the Belgian Security Documents shall automatically transfer to any assignee or transferee (by way of novation or otherwise) of part or all of the obligations expressed to be secured by the Belgian Transaction Security. For the purpose of article 5.247 of the Belgian Civil Code (and, to the extent applicable, any similar provisions of foreign law), the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and each of the Obligors hereby expressly reserve the preservation of the Belgian Transaction Security and of the Belgian Security Documents in case of assignment, novation, amendment or any other transfer or change of the obligations expressed to be secured by the Belgian Transaction Security (including, without limitation, an extension of the term or an increase of the amount of such obligations or the granting of additional credit) or of any change of any of the parties to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

For the purposes of this Section 10.04, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (2)(e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.20 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (4) of this Section 10.04 to the extent such participation would be permitted by such Section 10.04(4).

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest with respect thereto) of the Loans and the L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender (solely with respect to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. No assignment (whether or not evidenced by a Note) shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (d)

208

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including all applicable tax forms, any Note outstanding with respect to the assigned Commitment or Loan, the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (2)(b)(ii) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent promptly shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (2)(e).

(3) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(a) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim;

(b) except as set forth in clause (a) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(c) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;

(d) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent Required Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;

(e) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement;

(f) the Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

209

(g) the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.; and

(h) the Assignee waives any priority of ranking that it may have in connection with the Loan Documents pursuant to Article 4 of the Belgian Mobilisation Law.

(4) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Bank or, subject to Section 10.04(8), the Company, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than to a Defaulting Lender, a Disqualified Institution or a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it and its participations in the Revolving L/C Exposure and/or Swing Line Loans); provided that

(a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;

(b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and

(c) the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that

(A) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.04(1)(a) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 10.08(2) and (2) directly affects such Participant and

(B) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant.

The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14(2) and 2.20 (it being understood that such Participant shall deliver the required documentation to the participating Lender) as if it were an assignee pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04 and shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15, and 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.21(2) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant

210

also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation and each Granting Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and SPC, as applicable, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s or SPC’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). 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 such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(5) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(6) The Company, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (5) of this Section 10.04.

(7) If the Company wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (a) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (b) amend the terms thereof in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 10.08(4)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Company), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 and/or Section 10.05(2). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (7) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

211

(8) (a) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Company has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such Assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Company of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Assignee will not by itself result in such Assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (8)(a) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (8) shall apply.

(b) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Company’s prior written consent in violation of clause (a) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort of the Disqualified Institution, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent,

(A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution,

(B) in the case of outstanding Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Loan by paying the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loans and (z) the outstanding principal amount thereof, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or

(C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Assignees at the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof, and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions

(A)  will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and

(B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and

212

(y) for purposes of voting on any Plan of Reorganization, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by any applicable court of competent jurisdiction, including a bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over any Loan Party in an insolvency or liquidation proceeding effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Company hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Lender requesting the same; provided that the Lenders shall not be restricted from participating their obligations in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of their Commitments and the Loans owing to it) to Disqualified Institutions if the Company has not provided the list of Disqualified Institutions upon request.

(10) [Reserved].

(11) [Reserved].

(12) [Reserved].

(13) [Reserved].

(14) [Reserved].

(15) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, (y) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (z) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender of record hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests

213

in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non- public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

Section 10.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(1) If the Transactions are consummated and the Closing Date occurs, the Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (and, in the case of enforcement of this Agreement and each Lender, any Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, preparation, execution and delivery, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence (including third party expenses) and ongoing Collateral examinations, inspections and appraisals as provided for in this Agreement) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented legal fees of a single firm of counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for tall such Persons, taken as a whole, (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of an additional counsel for each group of conflicted persons similarly situated, taken as a whole) and in the case of enforcement, limited to, to the reasonable and documented legal fees of a single firm of counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Persons, taken as a whole, (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of an additional counsel for each group of conflicted persons similarly situated, taken as a whole)).

(2) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each Lead Arranger, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact, controlling Persons, equity holders, partners, members and other representatives and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to reasonable and documented legal fees of a single firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of an additional counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of:

(d) any Environmental Liability that is related in any way to Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any current or former property of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiaries,

provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense to the extent it

(i) has been determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (B) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under the Loan Documents or

(ii) relates to any proceeding between or among Indemnitees other than (A) claims against Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Lead Arranger or their respective Affiliates, in each case, in their capacity or in fulfilling their role as the agent or arranger, syndication agent or documentation agent, the issuing bank, swing line lender or any other similar role under the Facilities (excluding their role as a Lender), as applicable, to the extent such Persons are otherwise entitled to receive indemnification under this paragraph (2) or (B) claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of Holdings, the Company or their Restricted Subsidiaries.

(3) Any indemnification or payments required by the Loan Parties under Section 10.05(2) shall not apply with respect to (a) Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim or (b) Taxes that are duplicative of any indemnification or payments required by the Loan Parties under Section 2.20.

(4) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of Holdings, the Company, any Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender, any other party hereto or any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waive, any claim against any other such Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Commitment, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (4) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. None of Holdings, the Company or any

215

Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that, nothing in this clause (4) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee will be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Borrowers pursuant to clause (2) above to such Indemnitee for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment that such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.05.

(6) No Borrower will be liable for any settlement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with the applicable Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff against any Indemnitee in any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee in the manner set forth in clause (2) above.

(7) The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have but may be exercised only at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

Section 10.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR (A) CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION; AND (B) SECTIONS 9.12 TO 9.15 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NON-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THAT

Section 10.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(1) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, the Company or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.08, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, the Company or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(iii) extend any date on which payment of principal or interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fee is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender (including any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or modifications of any conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default (other than (x) a Default resulting from the non-payment of any principal or interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or other amounts when and as the same becomes due and payable or (y) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(2) and 8.01(3)) or mandatory prepayments or reductions shall not constitute an extension of the date of any such payment);

(1) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in

221

accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. In no event will the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received and any such excess amount received by any Lender will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder to such Lender, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining will be paid to the applicable Borrowers.

(2) Notwithstanding the generality of Section 10.09(a), if any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in receipt by any Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under Section 2, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if such Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Lender in an amount equal to such excess.

Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO

(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND

(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

222

Section 10.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

Section 10.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(1) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Loan Parties agrees that

(a) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction), and

(b) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts.

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

223

Section 10.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and each of the Agents agrees (and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates) to use all information provided to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents or otherwise in connection with the Transactions solely for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge such information, (other than information that:

(1) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party;

(2) has been independently developed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent without violating this Section 10.16; or

(3) was available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings or any other Loan Party);

(4) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans or Commitments on behalf of such Lender or any numbering, administration or settlement service providers (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16), except:

(a) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, in which case such Person agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure;

(b) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or any bank accountants, bank regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, in which case (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any such bank accountant or bank regulatory authority) such Person agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure;

(c) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16);

(d) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding;

(e) to any pledgee or assignee under Section 10.04(5) or any other prospective or actual Assignee of, or prospective or actual Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16); and

(f) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Hedge Agreements 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 10.16).

224

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such information shall be disclosed to a Disqualified Institution that constitutes a Disqualified Institution at the time of such disclosure without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 10.17 Platform; Borrower Materials. The Company hereby acknowledges that (1) the Administrative Agent or any Lead Arranger will make available to the Lenders materials or information provided by or on behalf of the Company hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (2) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material Non-Public Information with respect to the Company or any of its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Company hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that:

(a) all such identified Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;

(b) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws;

(c) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and

(d) the Administrative Agent and any Lead Arranger shall be entitled to treat the applicable Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that any such document contains MNPI: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) any notification of changes in the terms of the Revolving Loans, (3) any notification of the identity of Disqualified Institutions and (4) all information delivered pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.04.

Section 10.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. Each of the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential or actual Qualified Counterparties party to a Specified Hedge Agreement and potential or actual Cash Management Banks holding to a Cash Management Obligations), Ancillary Lenders, Issuing Banks and Agents hereby irrevocably:

(1) agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be immediately and automatically released, in each case, without any further action by any Person:

(a) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date;

225

(b) upon the sale, assignment, disposition, distribution or other transfer of such Collateral as part of or in connection with any transaction permitted hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to a Third-Party Vendor Financing Program), in each case to a Person that is not a Loan Party;

(c) subject to Section 10.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(d) to the extent such Collateral is or becomes an Excluded Asset as a result of an occurrence not prohibited hereunder;

(e) to the extent such Collateral is owned by a Subsidiary Loan Party, upon release of such Subsidiary Loan Party from its guarantee obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to clause (3) below; and

(f) to the extent such Liens were granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as required under Section 5.10(2), upon release of any corresponding Liens granted to holders of any Material Springer Debt (or a Debt Representative acting on behalf of such holders);

(2) agree that a Guarantor (other than Holdings) shall be immediately and automatically released, in each case, without any further action by any Person, from any applicable Guaranty and its obligations thereunder if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of an occurrence, transaction or designation permitted hereunder or ceases to Guarantee any Material Springer Debt;

(3) authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be required to, to the extent requested by any Borrower or to the extent provided for under this Agreement, establish intercreditor arrangements (including Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements) as contemplated by this Agreement; and

(4) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree, at the request of the Borrower, to subordinate any Lien on Collateral (other than ABL Priority Collateral) to Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 granted in favor of holders of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.01.

In each case as specified in this Section 10.18, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender (including in their capacities as potential or actual Qualified Counterparties and potential or actual Cash Management Banks), Ancillary Lender, L/C Issuer and Agent irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, promptly 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, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its guarantee obligations under the Guaranty, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.18. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall rely exclusively on such Responsible Officer’s certification and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent will be fully exculpated from any liability and shall be fully protected and shall not have any liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as a result of such reliance or the consummation of any release or subordination. Additionally, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall promptly return any possessory collateral to the Company in connection with the releases of Collateral and Guarantors contemplated by this Section 10.18.

226

Section 10.19 USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation Notice; CAML. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party including Beneficial Ownership, 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 and Beneficial Ownership in accordance with each of the USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to CAML, the Lenders and Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties, their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of such Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable CAML, whether now or hereafter in existence.

Section 10.20 Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders and each other Secured Party to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent may from time to time enter into a modification of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, so long as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such modification is consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.21 No Liability of the Issuing Banks. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:

(a) the use that any be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;

(b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

(c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or

(d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the applicable Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the applicable Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that such Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documents strictly complying

227

with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

Section 10.22 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of Holdings and the Company acknowledge and agree that:

(1) (a) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Holdings and the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand;

(b) the Company and Holdings have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate; and

(c) the Company and Holdings are capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents;

(2) (a) each Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company, Holdings or any other Person and

(b) none of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or Lenders has any obligation to any Company, Holdings or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and

(3) the Agents, the Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Company and Holdings hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 10.23 Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans or Commitments in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

Section 10.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be

228

subject to the write-down and conversion powers of a Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(1) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(2) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(a) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(b) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(c) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 10.25 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 10.26 Hypothecary Representative. For greater certainty and without limiting the power of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Citibank, N.A., to act as hypothecary representative within

229

the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purposes of holding any security granted by any Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative thereunder and under applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights and duties as appropriate). Citibank, N.A., the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby confirms and agrees to such appointment and each Person who is or becomes the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder (including by its execution of an assignment and assumption agreement) shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Hypothecary Representative and to have ratified all actions taken by the Hypothecary Representative prior to such date. For greater certainty, the Hypothecary Representative shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutadis mutandis. In the event of the resignation and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent (which shall include its resignation as Hypothecary Representative), such successor Collateral Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative unless and until a successor hypothecary representative is otherwise appointed.

Section 10.27 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to any Agent or any Lender from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to any Agent or any Lender in such currency, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.28 Parallel Liability.

In this Section:

“Corresponding Liabilities” means all present and future Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, but excluding its Parallel Liability.

“Parallel Liability” means a Loan Party’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 10.28.

Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount of its Corresponding Liabilities (as these may exist from time to time).

230

(1) The Parties agree that:

(a) a Loan Party’s Parallel Liability is due and payable at the same time as, for the same amount of and in the same currency as its Corresponding Liabilities;

(b) a Loan Party’s Parallel Liability is decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Liabilities have been irrevocably paid or discharged and its Corresponding Liabilities are decreased to the extent that its Parallel Liability has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

(c) a Loan Parties’ Parallel Liability is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Liabilities, and constitutes a single obligation of that Loan Party to the Collateral Agent (even though that Loan Party may owe more than one Corresponding Liability to the Lenders under the Loan Documents) and an independent and separate claim of the Collateral Agent to receive payment of that Parallel Liability (in its capacity as the independent and separate creditor of that Parallel Liability and not as a co-creditor in respect of the Corresponding Liabilities); and

(d) for purposes of this Section 10.28, the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Lenders and accordingly holds neither its claim resulting from the Parallel Liability nor any Security Documents securing the Parallel Liability on trust.
