.  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 “Term Benchmark Loan” or “RFR Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Term Benchmark Revolving Loan” or “RFR Revolving Loan”).  Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing” or “RFR Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Term Benchmark Borrowing” or “RFR Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g.. a “Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing” or “RFR Revolving Borrowing”).

SECTION 1.03.Certain Calculations

.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) (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 that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that any Fixed Amount (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Article VI, in the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Investment, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.04, 6.05, or 6.11, the applicable Borrower, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any category. It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Investment need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Investment,  under Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.04, 6.05 or 6.11, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction or item that is permitted by one category of

51

permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Investment under Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.04, 6.05 or 6.11, respectively, shall not be counted against any other category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment, or Investment under Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.04, 6.05 or 6.11, respectively (i.e., each category shall be independent of each other category).

Subject to Section 1.10 hereof, the baskets set forth in Article VI of this Agreement (including any related definition) shall only be tested solely at the time of consummation of the relevant transaction or action utilizing any of such baskets and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any of such baskets (including any related definition) would subsequently be exceeded (including as a result of fluctuations to Consolidated EBITDA after the last time such baskets were calculated) for any purpose under Article VI, such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded (i.e., incurrence based negative covenants). If any Indebtedness or Liens securing Indebtedness are incurred to refinance any existing Indebtedness or Liens securing Indebtedness, in each case, initially incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA at the time of incurrence, such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA at the time of incurrence of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness or such Indebtedness secured by such Liens, as applicable, does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value or fair value, if applicable) of the relevant existing Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured by such Liens, as applicable, being refinanced, plus Indebtedness incurred to pay premiums, defeasance costs and fees and expenses in connection.

In connection with the incurrence of revolving loan Indebtedness or any commitment or other transaction relating to the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness or the granting of any Lien to secure such Indebtedness, any Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate such incurrence and the granting of any Lien therefor as having occurred on the date of first incurrence of such revolving loan Indebtedness or commitment or intention to consummate such transaction (such date, the “Deemed Date”), and any related subsequent actual incurrence and granting of such Lien therefor will be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to have been incurred and granted on such Deemed Date.

All usages of fixed dollar baskets under this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBTIDA) prior to the Closing Date shall be disregarded as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 1.04.Terms Generally

.  The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.  The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”.  Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof’ and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement, (e) any reference to any law, rule or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law, rule or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time and (f) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to

52

refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.  The foregoing standards shall also apply to the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 1.05.Accounting Terms; GAAP

.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, unless the Borrowers’ elect otherwise, for purposes of any determinations associated with leases, including, without limitation, determinations of whether such leases are capital leases, whether obligations under such leases are Capital Lease Obligations, the amount of any Capital Lease Obligations associated with such leases, and the amount of operating expenses associated with such leases, Consolidated EBITDA, Indebtedness, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio shall be determined based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America in effect on December 31, 2018 as applicable to the Borrowers; provided further that, if the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrowers request an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

SECTION 1.06.Change of Currency

.  Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify after consultation with the Borrowers to be appropriate to the extent necessary to reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

SECTION 1.07.Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents

. (a) The maximum amount of Indebtedness and other threshold amounts that a Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur under Article VI shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness and other threshold amounts solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Term Benchmark Borrowings or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrowers hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan or an RFR Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

53

SECTION 1.08.Interest Rates; LIBORBenchmark Notification

.  The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change.  The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator  of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments.  Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 2.11(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to ‎Section 2.11(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the Daily Simple RFR, LIBOR, “LIBO Rate”, “EURIBOR Rate”, “CDOR Screen Rate”, or “TIBOR Rate”, as applicableany interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (1) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to ‎Section 2.11(b) whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to ‎Section 2.11(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Daily Simple RFR, the LIBO Rate, the EURIBOR Rate, CDOR Screen Rate or the TIBOR Rate, as applicable,existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate or the Tokyo interbank offered rate, as applicable)any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Daily Simple RFR, interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any RFR, Daily Simple RFR or Term Benchmark Rateinterest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced

54

in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.09.Divisions

.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (i) 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 (ii) 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 Interest at such time.

SECTION 1.10.Limited Condition Transactions

In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction (including any contemplated incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness in connection therewith), for purposes of:

(a)determining compliance with any provision of the Loan Documents (other than Section 6.10 hereof) that requires the calculation of any financial ratio (including the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Leverage Ratio);

(c)determining the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or any subset of Defaults or Events of Default); or

(d)testing availability under baskets set forth in the Loan Documents (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA);

in each case, at the option of the Borrowers (the Borrowers’ election, in writing to the Administrative Agent, to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or the date of delivery of the relevant notices, if any (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, on after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four fiscal quarter period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers have made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; provided, however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized.

55

If the Borrowers have made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of the ratios or baskets on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires 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 transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided that if such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any action taken where compliance of such ratios or baskets was determined or tested assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transaction in connection therewith have been consummated will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of failure to consummate such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith.

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then existing Loans with Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitments, Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Loans, Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

ARTICLE IIThe Credits

SECTION 2.01.Revolving Commitments.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make to any Borrower revolving credit loans denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency (“Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount that will not result at the time of such Borrowing in (i) the Dollar Amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans in Alternative Currencies exceeding the Alternative Currency Revolving Sublimit.  During the Revolving Commitment Period any Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Term Benchmark Loans, RFR Loans or, in the case of Revolving Loans in Dollars, ABR Loans, as determined by the applicable Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.05.

(b)Each Revolving Loan under the Revolving Facility shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility.  The failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders are several and no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for any other Revolving Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.

(c)At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and

56

not less than $1,000,000 (or comparable amounts determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of Alternative Currency).  At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility.  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 15 Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowings.

57

SECTION 2.02.Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans

(a)Any Loan Party (or Loan Parties) and one or more Lenders (including New Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall incur Incremental Revolving Commitments with respect to the Revolving Facility (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”), by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Revolving Commitment Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and (ii) the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) (A) the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the Incremental Amount, (B) no Incremental Revolving Commitments may be incurred if an Event of Default would be in existence immediately before or after giving pro forma effect thereto and to any concurrent transactions and any substantially concurrent use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that in the event that Incremental Revolving Commitments will be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, (x) the foregoing clause (B) may be tested in accordance with Section 1.10 hereof and (y) no Event of Default shall exist under (a) or (b) of Article VII or, with respect to the Borrowers only, under Sections (h) or (i) of Article VII at the time such Incremental Revolving Commitments are borrowed, (C) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that in the event that Incremental Revolving Commitments will be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the foregoing clause (C) may be tested in accordance with Section 1.10 hereof and (ii) as of the date of the Borrowing of under such Incremental Revolving Commitment, customary “Sungard” representations and warranties (with such representations and warranties to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the borrowing under such Incremental Revolving Commitment and (D) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, Incremental Revolving Commitment effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $100,000,000. No existing Lender shall have any obligation to incur any Incremental Revolving Commitments unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(b)Any Loan Party (or Loan Parties) and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make Incremental Term Loans by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such Incremental Term Loans, (ii) the applicable Incremental Term Facility Closing Date, (iii) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (iv) subject to the Incremental Term Maturity Exclusion, the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, which cannot have scheduled amortization payments (excluding the final installment thereof) in excess of 5% per annum of the original aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans (calculated on a Weighted Average Life to Maturity basis); provided that such Indebtedness may be incurred in the form of a customary “bridge” or other interim credit facility intended to be refinanced or replaced with long-term indebtedness so long as, subject only to customary conditions the failure of which to be satisfied would otherwise result in an Event of Default, it would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which satisfies the requirements of this clause (iv)). (v) the Applicable Rate for such Incremental Term Loans, (vi) the proposed original issue discount applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, if any, (vii) if applicable, the manner in which prepayments of such Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to the installments thereof, and (viii) any other terms (including mandatory prepayment provisions, if any, and the applicable obligors (which shall be limited to Loan Parties)) applicable to such Incremental Term Loans acceptable to the Borrowers that are consistent with the terms of this Section 2.02(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) (A) the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed the Incremental Amount, (B) no Incremental Term Loans may be incurred if an Event of Default would be in existence immediately before or after giving pro forma effect thereto and to any concurrent transactions and any

58

substantially concurrent use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that in the event that Incremental Term Loans will be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, (x) the foregoing clause (B) may be tested in accordance with Section 1.10 hereof and (y) no Event of Default shall exist under Section (a) or (b) of Article VII or, with respect to the Borrowers only, under Sections (h) or (i) of Article VII at the time such Incremental Term Loans are incurred, (C) the covenants and events of default applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall not be, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive (but excluding any terms (x) that are added in the Loans for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment hereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) that are only applicable to periods after the final maturity date of the Revolving Loans) than those contained in this Agreement as determined by the Borrowers acting in good faith (as certified, in the case of this clause (C), by a Financial Officer pursuant to a certificate reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which certificate  shall be conclusive as to compliance with this clause (C)), (D) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that Incremental Term Loans will be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the foregoing clause (D) may be tested in accordance with Section 1.10 hereof and (ii) as of the date of the Borrowing of under such Incremental Term Loans, customary “Sungard” representations and warranties (with such representations and warranties to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans and (E) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, Incremental Term Loans effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $100,000,000.  No existing Lender shall have any obligation to make any Incremental Term Loans unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(c)Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower, elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.02(a) or 2.02(b) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”)  substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d)With respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, each Lender that is acquiring an Incremental Revolving Commitment for the Revolving Facility on an Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders in the Revolving Facility (other than such Lender and the other Lenders acquiring an Incremental Revolving Commitment) outstanding immediately prior to such Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date, so that, after giving effect thereto, each Revolving Lender in the Revolving Facility (including each Lender that is acquiring an Incremental Revolving Commitment) holds its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitment on such Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date.  If there is a new Revolving Borrowing under the Revolving Facility on such Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date, the Revolving Lenders in the Revolving Facility after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.03.Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing

(a)To request a Revolving Borrowing on any Business Day, any Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time (or in the case of an Alternative Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time) (x) not less than three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested

59

Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans; provided that, with respect to a Revolving Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans to occur on the Closing Date, such request shall be made not less than one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, (y) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated, (i) in Sterling or Swiss Francs, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (z) on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans).  Each such telephonic and written borrowing request shall specify the Borrower, amount, Facility, currency and Type of Borrowing to be borrowed, the requested Borrowing Date and the account of the applicable Borrower to be credited and, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan (and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor).  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof For the avoidance of doubt, all Revolving Loans made in Alternative Currencies shall be Term Benchmark Loans.

(b)If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified for a Revolving Borrowing in Dollars, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  If no currency is specified, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars.  In making any determination of the Dollar Amount for purposes of calculating the amount of Revolving Loans to be borrowed from the respective Lenders on any date, the Administrative Agent shall use the relevant Exchange Rate in effect on the date on which the applicable Borrower delivers a borrowing request for such Revolving Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(a).

SECTION 2.04.Funding of Borrowings

(a)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 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and by the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account specified in the borrowing request.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time 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 (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower 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 applicable Borrower 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 applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation in the relevant currency or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Loans in the case of a Loan in Dollars or the applicable Term Benchmark Rate in the case of a Loan in an Alternative Currency.  If such Lender

60

SECTION 2.05.Interest Elections

(a)Each Borrowing denominated in Dollars initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable borrowing request, and each Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars or an Alternative Currency shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such borrowing request.  Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in Dollars of any Class to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as the same Type and may elect successive Interest Periods for any Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, all as provided in this Section.  The applicable Borrower may elect different Types or Interest Periods, as applicable, with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the relevant Lenders holding the Loans comprising the relevant portion of such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a request for a Revolving Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03, if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly in writing.

(c)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing, and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.  If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as such for an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) each Term Benchmark Borrowing in an Alternative Currency shall be continued as such for an Interest Period of not more than one month.

of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted CDOR Rate or the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (y) 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 the applicable Agreed Currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such Agreed Currency, whether or not such Term Benchmark Loan was in fact so funded (but not less than the available Benchmark Rate quoted for the interest period equal to the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current interest period, or if there is no such interest period, the lower of the Benchmark Rates quoted for the closest interest periods that are longer and shorter than such period).  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14.Taxes

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14(a)), the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)In addition, the applicable Borrower 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 Other Taxes.

(c)The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) 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 (and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such payment or liability) delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy, or if reasonably available to such Borrower 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.

70

(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)(i)    Any Lender (which, solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(f), shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower 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 a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i)(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers 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 any such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, any successor form), as applicable, establishing

71

an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, any successor form), as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(3)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower (or if such Borrower is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Borrower’s regarded owner) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, any successor form), as applicable; or

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

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

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and

72

the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendment made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(g)If the Administrative Agent or a Lender 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 a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over 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 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person.

(h)For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank.

(i)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 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 the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.15.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Loans by a Borrower and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Revolving Commitments.  Each payment by a Borrower on account of any commitment fee or any letter of credit fee owing with respect the Revolving Facility shall be paid ratably to the Revolving Lenders.

73

(b)Each prepayment by a Borrower on account of principal of a Revolving Loan shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Loan then held by the Revolving Lenders.  All repayments of principal of a Revolving Loan at stated maturity or upon acceleration shall be allocated pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the matured or accelerated Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.  All payments of interest in respect of a Revolving Loan shall be allocated pro rata according to the outstanding interest payable on such Revolving Loan then owed to the Revolving Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise but excluding any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and Section 9.05) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated interest-bearing account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent: (1) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank hereunder (including amounts owed under Section 2.09(b) or 9.04(c)), (2) second, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or LC Disbursement required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (3) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (4) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (5) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (B) if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of Revolving Loans, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Loans held by all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata (based on the amounts owing to each) prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Loan held by any Defaulting Lender.

(c)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time (or as specified in the next sentence in the case of Revolving Loans in an Alternative Currency), on the date when due.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Revolving Loans in an Alternative Currency shall be made on the dates specified herein for the pro rata account of the relevant Lenders to which such payment is owed, in such Alternative Currency and in immediately available funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower by the same time at least one Business Day prior to the date when due.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, 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 at 1111 Fannin Street, Houston, Texas except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent to hold and apply amounts to be paid to a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(b)) (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.  To the

74

extent necessary, the Administrative Agent shall enter into foreign currency exchange transactions on customary terms to effect any such ratable payment and the payments made by the Administrative Agent following such transactions shall be deemed to be payments made by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower hereunder.

(e)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a particular Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of a particular Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender that has made Loans of a particular Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans made by other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of a particular Class; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement 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.

SECTION 2.16.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), 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 Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank) to the extent required by Section 9.05, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from 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 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling such Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

75

(c)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.02 requires the consent of all Lenders or all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Revolving Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  In connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.05; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender need not be party to the Assignment and Assumption in order for such assignment to be effective.

SECTION 2.17.Letters of Credit

(a)General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request that standby or trade letters of credit be issued under the Revolving Facility for its own account or the account of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (“Letters of Credit”) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Commitment 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 applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  On the Closing Date, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed issued and outstanding pursuant to, and shall constitute “Letters of Credit”, for all purposes of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)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 applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (five Business Days in advance (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank) of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, 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 (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency 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 Issuing Bank, the requesting Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the 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, (x) after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $450,000,000, (ii) the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Credits shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders and (iii) with respect to any Issuing Bank that is not an Issuing Bank on the Closing Date, the LC Exposure of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed an amount to be agreed between the applicable Borrower and such Issuing Bank, and (y) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extensions of such Letter of Credit does not violate the applicable Issuing Bank’s internal policies.

(c)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

76

any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that at the request of the applicable Borrower and in the sole discretion of any Issuing Lender, a Letter of Credit may have an expiry date of greater than one year (but in no event shall the final expiry of such Letter of Credit extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above).

(d)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 Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s LC Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s LC Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement with respect thereto made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving 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, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)[Reserved]

(f)Reimbursement.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice; provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s applicable LC Commitment Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such LC Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g)Obligations Absolute.  Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse applicable LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) 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 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, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that reimbursement obligations of such Borrower with respect to a Letter of Credit may be subject to avoidance by such Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have 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 the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to any applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  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 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.

(h)Disbursement Procedures.  The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i)Interim Interest.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.17, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is required to be reimbursed to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum set forth in Section 2.10(c)(ii).  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date

78

of payment by any applicable Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j)Replacement of an Issuing Bank.  An 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 Revolving 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 2.09(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such successor and any previous Issuing Bank, or 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.

(k)Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure 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 Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral pursuant to the foregoing clause 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 a Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such 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 applicable Borrower’s 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 Bank for LC 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 applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility.  If a Borrower is 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 such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.18.Defaulting Lenders

.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)Fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a).

79

(b)The Revolving Commitments and Outstanding Revolving Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Majority Facility Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this Section 2.18(b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification effecting (i) an increase or extension of any of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitments or (ii) the reduction or excuse of principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, such Defaulting Lender’s Loans or the postponement of the scheduled date of payment of such principal amount, interest or fees to such Defaulting Lender.

(c)If any Letters of Credit exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)Such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective LC Commitment Percentages (but excluding the Revolving Commitments of all the Defaulting Lenders from both the numerator and the denominator); provided that (x) the sum of all the Outstanding Revolving Credits owed to all non-Defaulting Lenders does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Available Revolving Commitments, (y) the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in the Loan Documents to which it is a party are true and correct at such time, except to the extent that any such representation and warranty relates to an earlier date (in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), and (z) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time;

(ii)If the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower (or Borrowers) shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank such Defaulting Lender’s applicable LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above, as applicable) for so long as any Letters of Credit are outstanding;

(iii)If a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under the Revolving Facility pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under the Revolving Facility during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized by such Borrower;

(iv)If LC Exposures of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the applicable Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted to reflect such non-Defaulting Lenders’ LC Exposure as reallocated; and if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(d)So long as such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower (or Borrowers) in accordance with Section 2.18(c)(ii), and the LC Exposure in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among applicable non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

80

The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any funding default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any funding default.  In the event that the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower (or Borrowers) and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Revolving Commitments shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Available Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, no Borrower shall be excused from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.19.Extensions of Loans and Commitments.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.15 and Section 9.02 (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.19), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders of any Incremental Term Loans with a like maturity date and/or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis, and on the same terms to each such Lender (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders that agree to such transactions from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans); provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Pro Rata Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders.  For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, (i) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Incremental Term Loans, that all of the Incremental Term Loans of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same and (ii) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, that all of the Revolving Commitments of such Facility are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same.  Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrowers and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under an Extension Amendment (any such extended Incremental Term Loan, an “Extended Term Loan”; any such extended Revolving Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Commitment,” and any Revolving Loan made pursuant to such Extended Revolving Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Loan”); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates.  Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Extended Term Loan shall be made or the proposed Extended Revolving Commitment shall become effective, which shall be a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

(b)The Borrowers and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (an “Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments of such Extending Lender.  Each Extension Amendment shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments; provided, that (i) except as to interest rates, fees and any other pricing terms, and amortization, final maturity date and participation

81

in prepayments and commitment reductions (which shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have the same terms as the existing Class of Term Loans from which they are extended except for any terms which shall not apply until after the then latest Maturity Date, (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Class of Incremental Term Loans subject to such Pro Rata Extension Offer, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Incremental Term Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Commitment shall have the same terms as the existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments from which they are extended except for any terms which shall not apply until after the Revolving Termination Date and, in respect of any other terms that would affect the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank, such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, and (v) any Extended Term Loans may require participation on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Incremental Term Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder.  Upon the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby and shall not require the consent of any Lender (other than an Extending Lender).  Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.  If provided in any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Commitments in the manner specified in such Extension Amendment, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Commitments.

(c)Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Incremental Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Commitment.  For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) if such Extending Lender is extending a Incremental Term Loan, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Extended Term Loan and (ii) if such Extending Lender is extending a Revolving Commitment, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Extended Revolving Commitment.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.19), (i) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Commitment), (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Revolving Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment implemented thereby, (iv) all Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that rank equally and ratably in right of security with all other Obligations of the Class being extended (and all other Obligations secured by the same priority of Lien securing the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Loans being extended), (v) no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto and (vi) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrowers) and no guarantors (other than the Subsidiary Guarantors) in respect of any such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments.

82

(e)Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

SECTION 2.20.Refinancing Amendment

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.15 and Section 9.02 (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.20), the Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date establish one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), all net proceeds of which are used to refinance in whole or in part any Class of Incremental Term Loans.  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided, that:

(i)after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied;

(ii)the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the earlier of (x) the final maturity date of the refinanced Indebtedness and (y) the Revolving Termination Date;

(iii)the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the lesser of (x) the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Indebtedness and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Incremental Term Loans then outstanding with the greatest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity;

(iv)the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Indebtedness plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith;

(v)all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing terms and optional prepayment or mandatory prepayment terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) shall be substantially similar to, or (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans, taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, than the terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loans being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Revolving Termination Date or (y) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrowers in good faith) at the time of incurrence);

(vi)there shall be no borrower (other than a Loan Party) and no guarantors (other than a Loan Party) in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans;

(vii)Refinancing Term Loans shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral;

(viii)Refinancing Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder and (y) on a pro-

83

rata or on a non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment;

(b)The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 9.05 to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans; provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan.  Any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment governing such Refinancing Term Loans, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Incremental Term Loans made to the Borrowers.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.15 and Section 9.02 (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.20), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date establish one or more additional Facilities (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility”) providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Commitments under this Agreement.  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided, that:  (i) after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the aggregate amount of any other Revolving Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Effective Date plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including upfront fees) and accrued interest associated therewith; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Revolving Termination Date; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Commitments) shall be substantially similar to, or (as determined by the Borrowers in good faith) not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, than the terms applicable to the Revolving Commitments being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Revolving Termination Date or (y) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence); (v) there shall be no borrower (other than a Loan Party) and no guarantors (other than a Loan Party) in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility; and (vi) Replacement Revolving Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrowers and its Restricted Subsidiaries other than the Collateral.  In addition, the Borrower may establish Replacement Revolving Commitments to refinance and/or replace all or any portion of an Incremental Term Loan hereunder (regardless of whether such Incremental Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of Replacement Revolving Loans or otherwise), so long as the aggregate amount of such Replacement Revolving Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans repaid at the time of establishment thereof plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including upfront fees) and accrued interest associated therewith (it being understood that such

84

Replacement Revolving Commitment may be provided by the Lenders holding the Incremental Term Loans being repaid and/or by any other person that would be a permitted assignee hereunder) so long as (i) after giving effect to the establishment such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant agreement governing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, (ii) the remaining life to termination of such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity then applicable to the refinanced Incremental Term Loans, (iii) the final termination date of the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be no earlier than the Revolving Termination Date, (iv) such Replacement Revolving Loans shall be secured by Liens on Collateral with the same priority as the Incremental Term Loans being refinanced, (v) there shall be no borrower (other than a Loan Parties) and no guarantors (other than a Loan Party) in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility; (vi) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Commitments) shall be substantially similar to, or (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans, taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, than the terms applicable to the Revolving Commitments being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Revolving Termination Date or (y) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrowers in good faith) at the time of incurrence).  Solely to the extent that an Issuing Bank is not a replacement issuing bank under a Replacement Revolving Facility, it is understood and agreed that such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any letters of credit under such Replacement Revolving Facility and, to the extent it is necessary for such Issuing Bank to withdraw as an Issuing Bank at the time of the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility, such withdrawal shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such withdrawal.

(d)The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted assignee of a Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to Section 9.05 to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Commitments (subject to receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of Revolving Commitments to such person pursuant to Section 9.05); provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Commitment.  Any Replacement Revolving Commitment made on any Replacement Revolving Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that any Replacement Revolving Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Revolving Commitments.

(e)The Borrower and each Lender providing the applicable Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (a “Refinancing Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Commitments (as applicable). The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, to receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change

85

in law, change in fact or change to counsels’ forms of opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Pledge Agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (A) if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have Refinancing Term Loan and (B) if a Lender is providing a Replacement Revolving Commitment, such Lender will be deemed to have Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) no Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) this Agreement shall impose no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clauses (a) or (c) above, as applicable, (iii) all Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall have the same rank and Lien priority as the Term Facility or Revolving Facility being refinanced or replaced, as applicable and (iv) no Lender consent (other than the consent of a Lender providing a Replacement Revolving Commitment or a Refinancing Term Loan) shall be required to implement a Refinancing Amendment.

(a)(b) Notices, financial statements and similar deliveries and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent (including by posting on Intralinks); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Administrative Agent or any Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

SECTION 9.02.Waivers; Amendments

(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other 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 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under any Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)No Loan Document or any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Credit Parties that are party thereto and the Required Lenders or by the Credit Parties that are party thereto and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, reduce the reimbursement obligations of any Borrower hereunder or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to reduce or waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or fees at the applicable default rate set forth in Section 2.10(c), (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to reduce or waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or fees at the applicable default rate set forth in Section 2.10(c), (iv) change Section 2.15 in a manner that would alter the pro rata distribution or sharing of payments required thereby or any provision requiring the pro rata funding of Loans, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as provided in Section 9.16, Section 9.19 or Section 9.20) without the consent of each Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Material Domestic Subsidiaries as Subsidiary

119

Guarantors without the consent of each Lender (except as provided in Section 9.19) or (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder or the Collateral Agent under the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Pledge Agreements, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable.

(c)The Revolving Commitments and any Loans held by Qurate and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Affiliated Lenders”) shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any action requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender.  Affiliated Lenders may not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and may not attend or participate in Lender meetings not attended by any Borrower.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document, (ii) each Pledge Agreement may be amended or supplemented as provided in Section 7.1(b) thereof with only the consents provided in such Section 7.1(b), (iii) subject to Section 9.02(b)(iii) above, the Revolving Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Facility may be extended with the consent of only the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Majority Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility, (iv) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to reflect the provisions of Section 9.19 or Section 9.20 (it being understood and agreed that no such amendment shall be necessary for Section 9.19 or Section 9.20 to take effect) and (v) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to implement Section 2.19 or Section 2.20.

SECTION 9.03. [Reserved]

SECTION 9.04.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a)The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)Each of the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,

120

liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)), for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby by such Borrower, its Subsidiary Guarantees and its Parent, the performance by such parties of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions to be performed by such Borrower, its Subsidiary Guarantors and its Parent or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be performed by such Borrower, its Subsidiary Guarantors or its Parent, (ii) any Loan made to such Borrower or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have (x) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arisen from a material breach of a Loan Document in bad faith by such Indemnitee or (ii) result from a dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any disputes involving claims against any agent, arranger or bookrunner, in each case in their respective capacities as such) that did not involve actions or omissions of any Borrower or any of its subsidiaries.  Each Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to the applicable Borrower (or Borrowers) of any claim that may give rise to a claim against such Borrower hereunder and shall consult with such Borrower in the conduct of such Indemnitee’s legal defense of such claim; provided, however, than an Indemnitee’s failure to give such prompt notice to such Borrower or to seek such consultation with such Borrower shall not constitute a defense to any claim for indemnification by such Indemnitee unless, and only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices such Borrower. Paragraph (b) of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)To the extent that a Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Total Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this clause (d) shall limit the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations above to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

121

SECTION 9.05.Successors and Assigns

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person, any Borrower or the Affiliates or subsidiaries of any Borrower (except as provided in Section 9.05(e)), a Defaulting Lender or a Sanctioned Person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A)the Borrowers (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except for certain institutions (and affiliates of such institutions) identified by the Borrowers in writing to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or certain institutions (and affiliates of such institutions) that are competitors of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries identified by the Borrowers in writing to the Administrative Agent from time to time (the “Restricted List”) the identities of which are available to the applicable Lenders upon request to the Administrative Agent; provided that that the foregoing shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any assignment to the extent such assignment was acquired by a party that was not identified on the Restricted List at the time of such assignment), provided that (i) such Borrower (or Borrowers) shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it (or either of them) shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received written notice thereof, (ii) no consent of any Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee (except for institutions (and affiliates of such institutions) on the Restricted List) and (iii) if a Borrower consents to an assignment to any institution (or affiliate of such institution) on the Restricted List, such institution shall be removed from the Restricted List for such assignment;

(B)the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Revolving Commitment or Loan to an assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and

(C)each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving

122

Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Revolving Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, $1,000,000 (or, in the case of a Loan in an Alternative Currency, an appropriate corresponding amount as shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)), unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Revolving Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee is hereby waived for any assignment to which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.  or any of its Affiliates is a party);

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E)on the date of such assignment, the assignee of a Revolving Commitment must be able to fund Revolving Loans in all Alternative Currencies.

For the purposes of this Section 9.05(b), the term “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 of its business 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.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.04).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.05 shall be null and void.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall

123

be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption with respect to a permitted assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section (unless waived), and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks, institutions or other entities (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) except as provided in Section 9.05(e), any Borrower or the Affiliates or subsidiaries of any Borrower, a Defaulting Lender or a Sanctioned 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 Revolving Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent 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 and the other Loan Documents.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(i)(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except (i) to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from any Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or (ii) if the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s (or Borrowers’) prior written consent.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant (i) complies with Section 2.14(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and (ii) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to any Participant.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in

124

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 to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent 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.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank or governmental authority, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans may only be assigned to Qurate or any of its subsidiaries as long as (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, (ii) no proceeds from any Revolving Loans are used, directly or indirectly, to fund such assignment, (iii) each of the Lenders that hold Loans in the same Facility as the Loans being assigned has been offered the chance to participate in such assignment pro rata (in proportion to the Loans in such Facility) pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent at the same price (based on a percentage of par); provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans, any Incremental Term Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement to Affiliated Lenders through open market purchases on a pro-rata or non-pro rata basis; provided that Affiliated Lenders may not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and may not attend or participate in Lender only meetings; provided further that the Incremental Term Loans of any Affiliated Lenders shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, (iv) in the case of any assignment of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, such Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be contributed to the Borrowers and permanently extinguished within one Business Day of such assignment, and (vi) no assignment may result in the Affiliated Lenders holding a principal amount of Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Facility exceeding 15% of the principal amount of Incremental Term Loans outstanding under such Incremental Term Facility, unless such excess is contributed to the Borrowers and permanently extinguished within one Business Day of such assignment.  Any Incremental Term Loans acquired by any Affiliated Lender may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries for purposes of cancellation of such Indebtedness (it being understood that such Incremental Term Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution); provided that upon such cancellation of Indebtedness, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the

125

Incremental Term Loans shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.  

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Incremental Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Incremental Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that (a) such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender, in each case, in connection with any matter to the extent any such matter proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is different than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.  Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of Incremental Term Loans and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of (but subject to the limitations set forth in) this paragraph.  

(f)In the event that an Issuing Bank assigns all of its rights and obligations as a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.05, such Issuing Bank may resign by providing 30 days prior written notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  For the avoidance of doubt, such resigning Issuing Bank shall retain all rights and obligations provided under this Agreement with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding under this Agreement at the time of such resignation.

SECTION 9.06.Survival

.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstand­ing and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.04 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  

SECTION 9.07.Counterparts: Integration: Effectiveness

(b). This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together

126

shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective as provided in Section 4.01, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by email or telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by portable document format (“.pdf”) or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. “Electronic Signature” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.

SECTION 9.08.Severability

.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.09.Right of Setoff

SECTION 9.13.Confidentiality

.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and the disclosing party will be responsible for any disclosure by such Persons), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the

128

exercise of any remedies hereunder or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction, or to any credit insurance provider, in each case, relating to a Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower to whom the Information pertains, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or an agreement described in clause (f) hereof or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers (other than a source actually known by such disclosing Person to be bound by confidentiality obligations with respect thereto) or (i) to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry (but, in the case of this clause (i), solely to the extent that (x) such Information is information about the terms of the financing contemplated hereby routinely provided by arrangers to data services providers and (y) such Information is provided to such data service providers no earlier than the fifth Business Day after the Closing Date.  In addition, each Lender shall comply with each of its other confidentiality arrangements applicable to any particular Information covered therein and furnished by such Lender in its capacity as a Lender in connection with this Agreement (whether such confidentiality arrangements are agreed to before or after the Closing Date) unless the Borrowers otherwise consent to the disclosure of such Information to any Person in connection with such Person becoming a Lender or Participant hereunder (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned or withheld in the event that such Person is willing to agree to enter into substantially similar confidentiality arrangements).  “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or their Affiliates relating to the Borrowers, their subsidiaries or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers (other than from a source actually known by such party to be bound by confidentiality obligations).

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non­public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities.  Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

SECTION 9.14.Judgment Currency

.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment or filing a claim in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or claim 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 each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than

129

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 the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent from a Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 9.15.USA PATRIOT Act

.  Each Lender subject to the Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.  L.  107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is hereby required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.16.Releases of Guarantees and Liens

. (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 9.02) to take any action requested by a Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral under any Pledge Agreement or obligations under any Subsidiary Guarantee to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document (including Section 9.20) or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 9.02. In addition, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the respective Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its respective Guarantee of the Obligations under the Loan Documents (i) automatically upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder (x) resulting in such subsidiary ceasing to constitute a subsidiary (including because such Subsidiary is designated an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”) or (y) in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor which would not be required to be a Guarantor because it is or has become an Excluded Subsidiary, in each case following a written request by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent requesting that such Person no longer constitute a Subsidiary Guarantor and certifying its entitlement to the requested release; provided that the release of any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (e) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted if such Subsidiary is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary for a bona fide legitimate business purpose of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and not for the primary purpose of evading the collateral and guarantee requirements of the Loan Documents (as determined by the Borrowers in good faith) or (ii) if the release of such Guarantor is approved, authorized or ratified by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with Section 9.02).

(a)(b) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations (other than Obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements, Specified Cash Management Services Agreements and Letters of Credit and other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement claims not then due) shall have been paid in full, the Revolving Commitments have been terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired or been cash collateralized the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Pledge Agreements and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the

130

Administrative Agent and each Credit Party under the Pledge Agreements shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(b)(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.16, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.  Upon the effectiveness of any such release, any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Subsidiary Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made.  In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document.  

SECTION 9.17.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 the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner and each Lender 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 such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner nor any Lender has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrowers or its Affiliates.  Each of the Borrowers further agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner or any Lender based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Person in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.18.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 may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

131

(a)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

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

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

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, 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

(iii)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 9.19.Removal and Addition of Co-Borrower(s)

(a)In the event that all outstanding Revolving Loans made to a Borrower (other than QVC) are repaid and all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries are terminated or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, then QVC may notify the Administrative Agent in writing of their election to remove such Borrower as a party to each Loan Document (such removed Borrower, the “Removed Borrower”); provided that (i) there shall be no Default in existence at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, such removal and (ii) the Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with Section 6.10 based on the financial calculations described in clause (iv) below.  Upon such election, and without any further action on the part of any party hereto, (i) the term “Borrowers” herein and in any other Loan Document shall refer only to QVC and the remaining Borrowers and all references to the Removed Borrower  herein and in any other Loan Document shall be disregarded, including but not limited to, with respect to all representations, warranties, covenants and events of default (it being understood and agreed that all representations, warranties, covenants and events of default shall continue to apply with respect to any entity that has become a subsidiary of QVC), (ii) any Pledge Agreement related to the pledge of the Removed Borrower’s equity shall automatically terminate, (iii) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee from any subsidiary of such Removed Borrower shall automatically terminate, and (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, all financial calculations and ratios herein shall be calculated without regard to the Removed Borrower and its subsidiaries (unless the Removed Borrower or its subsidiaries are subsidiary of QVC or a remaining Borrower) from and after the removal of the Removed Borrower (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all financial calculations and ratios calculated prior to the removal of the Removed Borrower shall not be affected).  Upon such election (or deemed election pursuant to clause (b) below), the Administrative Agent, at the Removed Borrower’s expense, shall take such steps and execute such documents as may reasonable be requested by the Removed Borrower to evidence the foregoing.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Commitments related to the Revolving Loans repaid by the Removed Borrower shall remain available for borrowing by the remaining Borrowers (i.e., no reduction in the Revolving Commitments). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, effective upon the removal of such Removed Borrower, the Available Amount shall be adjusted on a pro forma basis to exclude additions to the Available Amount from such Removed Borrower such that the Available Amount at that time shall be recalculated (and the result, if negative, shall be deemed to be zero) as if such Removed Borrower had not been a Borrower prior to such removal; provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under the Loan Documents with respect to such removal as a result of such recalculated Available Amount (regardless of whether such

132

recalculated Available Amount would not have permitted any prior transactions based on the Available Amount prior to such recalculation).

(b)In the event that a Borrower (other than QVC) ceases to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Qurate (i) all Revolving Loans made to such Borrower shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and such Borrower shall terminate or cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) the Borrowers will be deemed to have made an election to remove such Borrower as a party to each Loan Document as set forth in clause (a) above. For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Commitments related to the Revolving Loans repaid pursuant to Section 9.19(b)(i) shall remain available for borrowing by the remaining Borrowers (i.e., no reduction in the Revolving Commitments).

(c)Upon at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice by QVC to the Administrative Agent, QVC may add one or more additional Persons (such additional Person, the “New Borrower”) as a “Borrower” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with the same effect as if such Person had been named as a Borrower herein by delivery of a borrower joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I whereby such Person confirms its obligations as a “Borrower” under the Loan Documents, provided that (i) at the time such New Borrower becomes a Borrower, either (x) Qurate shall directly or indirectly have beneficial ownership of securities or other ownership interests representing more than 50% of the equity or more than 50% of the ordinary voting power or, in the case of a partnership, more than 50% of the general partnership interests such Person or (y) such New Borrower is a subsidiary of a Borrower, (ii) prior to becoming a Borrower, such New Borrower shall have provided (a) the documentation and other information requested by the Administrative Agent that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Act and (b) to the extent such New Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, the Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Person that has been requested by the Administrative Agent (provided that, such Beneficial Ownership Certification will not contain information regarding shareholders of publicly traded companies) and (iii) prior to becoming a Borrower, such New Borrower shall have, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, provided to the Administrative Agent such other customary closing deliverables consistent with those provided by Borrowers under Section 4.01 as requested by the Administrative Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Domestic Subsidiary of the New Borrower that is a Material Domestic Subsidiary as result of the addition of the New Borrower as a Borrower under this Agreement shall comply with Section 5.09.

SECTION 9.20.Pledge Collateral Matters

Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably agree that (x) any Parent may transfer Equity Interest in any Borrower that is subject to a Pledge Agreement to any other subsidiary of Qurate (the “New Pledgor”) provided such New Pledgor executes a pledge agreement (the “New Pledge Agreement”) substantially similar to the Pledge Agreements whereby such New Pledgor pledges such Equity Interests to secure the Obligations promptly following such transfer and (y) at the request of the Borrowers, any Pledge Agreement executed on the Closing Date and any Collateral provided on the Closing Date may be replaced by a new pledge agreement (the “Holdco Pledge Agreement”) that pledges (the pledgor, the “Holdco Pledgor”) the Equity Interest of any wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate that indirectly owns the Equity Interest of any Borrower pledged pursuant to any Pledge Agreement on the Closing Date so long as any Person between the Holdco Pledgor and the applicable Parent (such entities, the “Intermediate Holdcos”) have not (and agrees not to) pledge the Equity Interests in any applicable Intermediate Holdcos to secure any Indebtedness (this clause (y), the “Replacement Pledge Option”).  Upon such election, the term “Pledge Agreement” and “Parent” shall refer to the New Pledge Agreement, the New Pledgor, the Holdco Pledge Agreement or the Holdco Pledgor, as

133

applicable, and all references to any Pledge Agreement executed on the Closing Date herein and in any other Loan Document that is replaced pursuant to the Replacement Pledge Option shall be disregarded, including, but not limited to, with respect to all representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the actions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents so long as the Borrowers are in compliance with the preceding paragraph and (y) if the Replacement Pledge Option is elected, the applicable Pledge Agreement executed on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon execution of the applicable Holdco Pledge Agreement.

SECTION 9.21.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap 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.
