Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement

On June 28, 2019, Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with USAA Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”) and USAA Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller Parent”). The Amendment amended the previously reported Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2018 (the “Original Agreement”, and, as amended by the Amendment, the “USAA Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Seller and, for certain limited purposes, Seller Parent, as was described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2018 and filed as Exhibit 2.1 thereto. The USAA Stock Purchase Agreement has substantially the same material terms and conditions as the Original Agreement, but provides for, among other things, (i) the consummation of the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of USAA Asset Management Company (“USAA Adviser”) and USAA Transfer Agency Company d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services (together with USAA Adviser, the “USAA Acquired Companies”) by the Company on July 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date,” such acquisition, the “Transaction” and the consummation of the Transaction, the “Closing”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing set forth in the Original Agreement as of June 28, 2019, the funding of the purchase price for the Transaction into an escrow account withBarclays Bank PLC as escrow agent in connection with the Transaction on June 28, 2019 and the release of such amount from the escrow account to Seller on July 1, 2019 following the Closing, (iii) certain amendments to the Original Agreement with respect to mechanics to implement the Closing, and (iv) certain other amendments to the Original Agreement agreed to by the parties to the Original Agreement.

The foregoing description of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Agreement, previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 9, 2018, and incorporated by reference thereto, and the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2, and each is incorporated herein by reference.  

The USAA Stock Purchase Agreement and the above description of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement and are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or the USAA Acquired Companies. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement and certain express third party beneficiaries thereto and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. In addition, certain representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors and may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.  Information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.  Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the USAA Acquired Companies or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses.

2019 Credit Agreement

The Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) dated as of the Closing Date among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which the Company obtained a seven-year term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000 and established a five-year revolving credit facility (which was unfunded as of the Closing Date) with aggregate commitments of $100,000,000 (with a $10,000,000 sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit).  Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Credit Agreement (including obtaining commitments from one or more new or existing lenders), the Company may incur additional loans or commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $415,000,000 (or, if greater, 100% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters), plus certain additional amounts

- 2 -

set forth in the 2019 Credit Agreement (including an unlimited amount of additional loans or commitments based on achievement of a specified leverage ratio).

Amounts outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) plus a margin of 3.25% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 2.25%. The Company is also required to pay certain fees to the lenders, including, among others, a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the revolving credit facility.

Term loans under the 2019 Credit Agreement will amortize at a rate of 1.00% per annum. In addition, the 2019 Credit Agreement requires that the term loans be mandatorily prepaid with (a) a percentage (ranging from 0% to 50%, depending on the Company’s first lien leverage ratio) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow on an annual basis (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020), (b) all or a portion of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty or condemnation events, subject to customary reinvestment rights, and (c) the proceeds of certain incurrences of indebtedness. At any time, subject to timely prior written notice, the Company may terminate the commitments under the revolving credit facility in full or in part or prepay term loans in whole or in part, subject to the payment of LIBOR breakage fees, if any, and, in the case of certain prepayments of term loans occurring within the six-month period following the Closing Date, a 1.00% premium.

The obligations of the Company under the 2019 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the USAA Acquired Companies and all of the Company’s other domestic subsidiaries (other than Victory Capital Advisers, Inc., its broker-dealer subsidiary) (the “Guarantors”) and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject in each case to certain customary exceptions.

The 2019 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that affect, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or dissolve, make investments, dispose of assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make distributions and dividends and prepayments of junior indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, amend documentation governing junior indebtedness, modify its fiscal year and modify its organizational documents, subject to customary exceptions, thresholds, qualifications and “baskets.” In addition, the 2019 Credit Agreement contains a financial performance covenant, requiring a maximum first lien leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on which outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility exceed 35.0% of the commitments thereunder (excluding certain letters of credit), of no greater than 3.80 to 1.00.

The repayment obligation under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, including, among other things, failure to pay principal or interest on a timely basis, material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, failure to comply with covenants, cross-default, change of control, certain insolvency or bankruptcy-related events and material judgments, subject, in each case, to any applicable grace and/or cure periods.

Proceeds from the term loans under the 2019 Credit Agreement, as well as cash on hand, were used (i) to finance the Transaction, (ii) to repay all indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s existing senior credit facility, which was terminated as of the Closing Date, and (iii) for the payment of fees, commissions, premiums, expenses and other transaction costs (including original issue discount or upfront fees) payable in connection with the Transaction, the 2019 Credit Agreement and the transactions related thereto.  The proceeds of revolving loans incurred under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including ongoing working capital requirements.

The foregoing description of the 2019 Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the 2019 Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company repaid all indebtedness outstanding under the credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) dated as of February 12, 2018 among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The 2018 Credit Agreement and the credit documents entered in connection therewith were terminated on the Closing Date.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of the USAA Acquired Companies, pursuant to the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement.

The Company purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of the USAA Acquired Companies in the Transaction. The Transaction was financed using a combination of the 2019 Credit Agreement and the Company’s balance sheet resources (as discussed above in Item 1.01). The purchase price paid in cash at Closing (“Closing Purchase Price”) was approximately $850.0 million, subject to transaction related payments and certain post-closing adjustments. Total purchase consideration includes the Closing Purchase Price and contingent payments based on the annual revenue of USAA Adviser attributable to all “non-managed money”-related assets under management in each of the first four years following the Closing.

As previously disclosed, a maximum of $150.0 million ($37.5 million per year) in contingent payments in respect of “non-managed money”-related assets is achievable over the four-year period. To receive any contingent payment in respect of “non-managed money”-related assets for a given year, annual revenue from “non-managed money”-related assets must be at least 80% of the revenue run-rate (as calculated under the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement) of the USAA Adviser’s “non-managed money”-related assets under management as of the Closing, and to achieve the maximum contingent payment for a given year, such annual revenue must total at least 100% of that Closing revenue run-rate. Annual contingent payments in respect of “non-managed money”-related assets are subject to certain “catch-up” provisions set forth in the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing description of the USAA Stock Purchase Agreement in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Original Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.1 (as previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 9, 2018), and the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2, and each is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The description of the terms of the 2019 Credit Agreement set forth above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The Company issued a press release on July 1, 2019 announcing the completion of its previously announced acquisition of the USAA Acquired Companies. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.3, if all of the conditions set forth in Article 7  (without regard to any reference to “Closing” or “Closing Date” in Article 7 or in any related defined terms, which references shall be deemed to refer to “Escrow Funding” or “Escrow Funding Date”, as applicable, solely for this purpose) have been satisfied or waived by the Parties entitled to the benefits thereto as of the Escrow Funding Time (as defined below), other than the consummation of the Closing at the Closing Time pursuant to this Agreement, but subject to the Closing occurring at the Closing Time pursuant to this Agreement, then (i) commencing at 11:00 a.m. (prevailing Central Time) on June 28, 2019 (such time and date, the “Escrow Funding Time” and such date, the “Escrow Funding Date”), which date the Parties acknowledge and agree is at least three (3) Business Days following the last day of the Marketing Period, (A) Buyer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited (including through any Financing Source), with the Escrow Agent in an escrow account (which escrow account shall be designated by the Escrow Agent to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Escrow Funding Date) (the “Escrow Account”), an aggregate cash amount (the “Escrow Amount”) in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price set forth on the Seller Statement (the “Escrow Funding”), (B) Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (including through any Financing Source), irrevocable written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Account at the Escrow Release Time (as defined below) in such amounts and to the payees as set forth in such written instructions (the “Written Instructions”), and (C) the Parties shall, or shall cause, all Closing Documents to be (1) duly executed and dated as of the Closing Date, and (2) irrevocably delivered into escrow at the Escrow Funding Time pending automatic release thereof at the Closing Time as further provided in Section 2.2(b) below, and (ii) the Escrow Amount shall be automatically released from the Escrow Account at the Escrow Release Time in accordance with the Written Instructions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Closing Purchase Price which shall be released to Seller at the Escrow Release Time) as further described in Section 2.2(b) below and in full satisfaction of Buyer’s obligations to fund the Estimated Closing Purchase Price at the Closing.  Following delivery of the Written Instructions to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(a), Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Financing Sources not to, amend, waive, modify or terminate the Written Instructions or the escrow agreement entered into by and between Buyer and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”), in any respect, or transmit any additional instructions to Escrow Agent thereunder, and without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall deliver duly executed copies of the Written Instructions and the Escrow Agreement to Seller at the Escrow Funding.  Seller is an express third party beneficiary of clause 5, clause 12.1 and clause 20 of the Escrow Agreement solely for the purpose of enforcing the Escrow Agent’s and any successor’s obligations to release funds from the Escrow Account in accordance with the Written Instructions.  Buyer hereby agrees that if Seller has sought to enforce, and as a result of a final, non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction fails to enforce, the Escrow Agent’s and its successor’s obligations to release funds from the Escrow Account in accordance with the Written Instructions, then Buyer will enforce the Escrow Agent’s obligations under the Escrow Agreement to release the Escrow

7

Amount from the Escrow Account at the Escrow Release Time in accordance with the Written Instructions if the Escrow Agent fails to do so, including by commencing a Proceeding against the Escrow Agent to compel the Escrow Agent to release the funds from the Escrow Account in accordance with the Written Instructions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any representations or warranties or certifications to be made by any Party in any Closing Document so deposited into escrow pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall be made at and as of the Closing Date (and, where applicable, as of the date of this Agreement) or such other date as may be specified in such Closing Document, and not as of the Escrow Funding Date.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.3, subject only to the Escrow Funding occurring at the Escrow Funding Time pursuant to this Agreement, the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place and become effective at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, commencing at 12:00:01 a.m. (prevailing Central Time) on July, 1, 2019 (such date, the “Closing Date” and such time and date, the “Closing Time”) and all Closing Documents irrevocably delivered into escrow at the Escrow Funding pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall be automatically released without further action by the Parties or any other Person; provided, that the payment of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price and any other amounts required to be released from the Escrow Account or otherwise paid by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing shall commence at 7:30 a.m. (prevailing Central Time) on the Closing Date (such time and date, the “Escrow Release Time”).  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that for all purposes (including Tax, accounting and financial reporting purposes), the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at the Closing Time on the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to modify any requirement pursuant to this Agreement that any amount be calculated as of the Calculation Time as specified herein and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Covered Transaction Costs shall be calculated under this Agreement as of the Closing Time.

(c)  Immediately following the close of business on the Escrow Funding Date, Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, commence, and use their reasonable best efforts to complete on or prior to the Closing, any and all accounts and systems conversions, migrations and transfers and all other actions reasonably necessary to ensure that the Business may be operated by Buyer and its Subsidiaries on their systems and platforms as of the Escrow Release Time.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, (i) nothing set forth in this Amendment shall be deemed to limit or diminish the rights and obligations of the Indemnified Parties or the Indemnifying Parties under the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) if any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 of the Purchase Agreement (without regard to any reference to “Closing” or “Closing Date” in Article 7 of the Purchase Agreement or in any related defined terms, which references shall be deemed to refer to “Escrow Funding” or “Escrow Funding Date”, as applicable, solely for this purpose) are not satisfied or waived by the Parties entitled to the benefits thereto on or prior to the Escrow Funding Time, other than the consummation of the Closing at

the Closing Time pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, then the amendments to the Purchase Agreement set forth herein relating to the Escrow Funding (including with respect to any defined terms set forth in Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement and the amendments to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 of the Purchase Agreement set forth above) shall be void ab initio and shall be of no force or effect.

The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.19(b) and 2.20, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans of a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type (and of the same Class) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.EachLenderagreesthatincomputingsuchLender’sportionofanyBorrowingtobemadehereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations oroperatingproceduresoftheclearingorsettlementsystemusedbytheAdministrativeAgenttomakesuch payment.

(c) If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greaterproportionoftheaggregateamountofitsLoansofsuchClassandparticipationsinLCDisbursements

and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class and sub-participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements; 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 apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22,  2.23 and 9.02(c). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.18(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assumethattheBorrowerhasmadesuchpaymentonsuchdateinaccordanceherewithandmay,inreliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event,if theBorrowerhasnotinfactmadesuchpayment,theneachLenderortheapplicableIssuingBankseverally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds EffectiveRateandaratedeterminedbytheAdministrativeAgentinaccordancewithbankingindustryrules on interbankcompensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fullypaid.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, any Lender has declined or is unable to designate, or assign to, a different lending office, branch or affiliate pursuant to clause (a) above, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consentof“eachLender”,“eachRevolvingLender”or“eachLenderdirectlyaffectedthereby”(oranyother Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50.0% of the sum of the total loans and unusedcommitmentsofsuchClassorlessergroupatsuchtime)hasbeenobtained,asapplicable,anyLender is a non-consenting Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender,andrepayallObligationsoftheBorrowerowingtosuchLenderrelatingtotheapplicableLoansand participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (provided that, if, after giving effect to such termination and repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds theaggregateamountoftheRevolvingCreditCommitmentsofsuchClassthenineffect,thentheBorrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Revolving Borrowings of the applicable Class (and, if no Revolving Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC CollateralAccount)inanamountnecessarytoeliminatesuchexcess)or(y)replacesuchLenderbyrequiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (whichEligibleAssigneemaybeanotherLender,ifanyLenderacceptssuchassignment);providedthat(A) suchLenderhasreceivedpaymentofanamountequaltotheoutstandingprincipalamountofitsLoansand, ifapplicable,fundedparticipationsinLCDisbursementsand/orSwinglineLoans,ineachcaseofsuchClass of Loans or Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder with respect to such Class of Loans or Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignmentresulting fromaclaimforcompensationunderSection 2.15orpaymentsrequiredtobemadepursuanttoSection 2.17, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (C) in the case of any assignmentresultingfromtheinabilityorfailuretodesignate,orassignto,adifferentlendingoffice,branch or affiliate, such assignment is to a Lender that can make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans and (D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

99

execution of such Assignment and Assumption. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b).

Section 2.20.   Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert ABR Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all of such Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment) and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then unless and until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and, subject to clause (d)(iv) below, on the participation of such Defaulting Lender in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

(b) The Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required Lenders, the RequiredRevolvingLendersorsuchothernumberofLendersasmayberequiredherebyorunderanyother LoanDocumenthavetakenormaytakeanyactionhereunder(includinganyconsenttoanywaiver,

(c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity,pursuanttoSection 2.11,Section 2.15,Section 2.16,Section 2.17,Section 2.18,Article 7,Section

9.05 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender or any applicable Issuing Bank hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the Swingline Lender or any applicable Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may elect, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders, Swingline Lender or Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non- Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan or LC Exposure was made or created, as applicable, at a time when the conditions set forth in Sections

4.01 or 4.02, as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to Section 2.21(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender or to post Cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) If any Swingline Exposure and/or LC Exposure exists at the time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) the Swingline Exposure and/or LC Exposure, as applicable, of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated pro rata among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all non-Defaulting Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the RevolvingCredit Commitmentsofallnon-DefaultingRevolvingLendersofsuchClassand(B)theRevolvingCredit Exposureofanynon-DefaultingLenderthatisattributabletoitsRevolvingCreditCommitmentof such Class does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;

The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirements of Law; it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents and which the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof or (viii) the compliance or non-compliance by Affiliated Lenders with the terms hereof related to Affiliated Lenders.

If any Lender obtains knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable Requirements of Law or otherwise to credit bid at any foreclosure sale, UCC sale, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Disposition of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

156

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Restricted Subsidiaries), the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Guaranty; it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (A) the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply all or any portion of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such Disposition and (B) the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of all or any portion of such Collateral at any such Disposition.

No holder of any Secured Hedging Obligation or Banking Services Obligation in its respective capacity as such shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any Secured Hedging Obligation or by entering into documentation in connection with any Banking Services Obligation, each of the other Secured Parties hereby authorizes and shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Secured Parties to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders:

(a) consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations in connection with any Disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363thereof;

(b) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363thereof;

(c) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of theUCC;

(d) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connectionwithanyforeclosureorotherDispositionconductedinaccordancewithapplicableRequirements of Law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise;or

(e) estimatetheamountofanycontingentorunliquidatedSecuredObligationsofsuch Lender or other SecuredParty;

157

it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any amount in connection with any purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d) without its prior written consent.

Each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Secured Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clauses (b),  (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the Secured Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent on a ratable basis.

With respect to any contingent or unliquidated claim that is a Secured Obligation, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, but is not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any credit bid or purchase described in the second preceding paragraph. In the event that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to consummate any credit bid or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.

Each Secured Party whose Secured Obligations are credit bid under clauses (b),  (c) or (d) of the third preceding paragraph is entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Capital Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing

(x) the amount of the Secured Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or otherDisposition,by(y)theaggregateamountofallSecuredObligationsthatwerecreditbidinsuchcredit bid or otherDisposition.

In addition, in case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Disbursement is then due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) tofileandproveaclaimforthewholeamountoftheprincipalandinterest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts to the extent due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding;and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable ordeliverable on any such claims and to distribute thesame.

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such

158

payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amount due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03.

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

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) that it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under any Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving ten days’ written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender (by reason of its insolvency) or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender (by reason of such Defaulting Lender’s insolvency), either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon ten days’ notice, remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000; provided that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default under  Section 7.01(a),  Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g), no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor has been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within ten days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent receives notice of removal, then (a) in the case of a retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the

159

qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Borrower, if applicable) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Borrower may, after consulting with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided above in this Article 8. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder as a successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 9.13 hereof). The fees payable by the Borrower to any successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent; for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any fee to any successor Administrative Agent that is greater than or in addition to the fees payable to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent (including for this purpose holding any collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Barclays as Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 8.01 shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank, unless it remains a Lender; provided that, if Barclays does not remain a Lender (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Barclays as retiring Issuing Bank and (ii) Barclays shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents as an Issuing Bank except with respect to Letters of Credit previously issued by it.

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

160

responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Lead Arrangers or the Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in their respective capacities as the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender hereunder, as applicable.

Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8. In each case as specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender, and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8. In connection with any such release or subordination of the Liens, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Administrative Agent requesting such release and/or subordination and certifying that such release and/or subordination, and any Liens incurred

161

in connection therewith, and the Administrative Agent may rely exclusively upon such certificate as to whether such release and/or subordination and any such other Liens are permitted.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into any intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement (including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) contemplated hereby with respect to any Indebtedness (a) that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder or (ii) secured by Liens and (b) which contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (any such other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement, an “Additional Agreement”), and the Secured Parties party hereto acknowledge that any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Secured Party party hereto hereby (a) agrees that they will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Additional Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into each Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrower, and the Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of each Additional Agreement.

The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in connection therewith, and each Secured Party authorizes (and ratifies) the Administrative Agent’s actions to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder, including with respect to the Escrow Account, in connection therewith.

To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(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 (it being understood and agreed that any Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates in excess of such 30.0% of such amounts will be deemed to be voted pro rata along with the votes of the Lenders eligible to vote under the relevant class of Lenders that are not Debt Fund Affiliates). Any Loans acquired by any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon thereof); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the relevant Class of Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of any applicable Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.

Section 9.08. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder  are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan, issue any Letter of Credit or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

186

shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.19. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or Letter of Credit, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or Letter of Credit under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively the “Charged Amounts”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or Issuing Bank holding such Loan or Letter of Credit in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder, together with all Charged Amounts payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charged Amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.19 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charged Amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect of other Loans or Letters of Credit or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.

Section 9.20. Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any  other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, (a) any Loan Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder (and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released) (i) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions if as a result thereof such Loan Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions permitted hereunder) or (ii) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date; provided that (i) no such release under clause (a) hereof shall occur solely because a Loan Guarantor has become an Excluded Subsidiary unless the Borrower so elects and (ii) to the extent any Restricted Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary and is released from its guarantee hereunder, any such release under clause (a) hereof shall constitute an Investment as of the date of such release. In connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release. Any execution and delivery of any document pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 9.21 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents).

Section 9.22. Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document from one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “AgreementCurrency”), 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 the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agree to the

187

extent permitted under applicable law, 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 Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Requirements of Law).

Section 9.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institution. 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA ResolutionAuthority.

Section 9.24. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFC. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement 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):

(a) 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 transferwouldbeeffectiveundertheU.S.SpecialResolutionRegimeiftheSupportedQFCandsuchQFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws ofthe

188

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.

(b) As used in this Section 9.24, the following terms have the followingmeanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

The Grantors shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Agent’s request, promptly file or cause to be filed such applications for approval and shall take such other actions reasonably required by the Agent to obtain such Regulatory Supervising Organization approvals or consents as the Agent determines are necessary or advisable to transfer ownershipandcontroltotheAgent,onbehalfoftheSecuredParties,ortheirsuccessors,assignsor

ARTICLE 7

General Provisions

Section 7.01. Waivers. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any judicial hearing in connection with the Agent’s taking possession of the Collateral or of any public sale or the time after which any private sale  or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made, including without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable Requirements of Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable (and each Grantor agrees that such notice is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in any other applicable jurisdictions) if sent to any Grantor, addressed as set forth in Article8, at least 10 days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except those arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent, any valuation, stay (other than an automatic stay under any applicable Debtor Relief Law), appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar law and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) of any kind or all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 7.02. Limitation on Agent’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to which it accords its own property. The Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable for the Agent (a) to elect not to incur expenses to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to elect not to obtain third party  consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of (unless required under any applicable lease agreement), or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to elect not to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any

H-18

adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral,

(g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss in connection with any collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.02  is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor  and  the  Agent  recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to any Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the relevant Grantor, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 7.04. Agent Performance of Debtor Obligations.  Without having any obligation to do  so, the Agent may, at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon prior written notice to the Borrower, perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Security Agreement and which obligation is due and unpaid and not being contested by such Grantor in good faith, and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.04 as a Secured Obligation payable in accordance with Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.05. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the  Agent or any other Secured Party (subject to the provisions of Article 8 of the Credit Agreement) to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege granted under this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document shall impair such right, remedy, power or privilege or preclude any further exercise thereof or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing

H-19

signed by the Borrower and the Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or afforded by law shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent until the Termination Date.

Section 7.06. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable Requirements of Law, and all of the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable Requirements of Law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that such provisions do not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any provision of this Security 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 of this Security Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.07. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent  hereunder,  the  security  interests granted hereunder and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Grantor, (e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or (f) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Security Agreement (other than any termination or release contemplated by Section 7.12 or the occurrence of the Termination Date).

Section 7.08. Benefit of Security Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security  Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement). No sale of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Agent hereunder for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties.

Section 7.09. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of each Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement until the Termination Date or, as to any Grantor, if earlier, the date such Grantor is released from its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 7.12 hereof.

Section 7.10. Additional Subsidiaries. Upon the execution and delivery by any Restricted Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit A in accordance with Section 5.11(a) of the Credit Agreement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Restricted Subsidiary was originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of

H-20

any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor or any other Person. The rights  and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

Section 7.11. Headings. The titles of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Agent shall promptly execute (if applicable) and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, (i) all UCC termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate such termination or release and (ii) all Pledged Collateral. Any execution and delivery  of documents pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Agent or any Secured Party. The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including any fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.12 pursuant to and to the extent required by Section 9.03(a) of the CreditAgreement.

(c) The Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Agent in good faith believes to be in accordance with) the terms of this Section 7.12.

I-2

their respective successors, transferees and assigns, the full and prompt payment, when and as the same become due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations, including amounts that would become due but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Swap Obligation), together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in collecting any of the Secured Obligations that are reimbursable in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

This Loan Guaranty is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. All liabilities to which this Loan Guaranty applies or may apply under the terms  hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.

The Administrative Agent may enforce this Loan Guaranty at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default exists.

Section 2.03.No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a) Except for the termination or release of a Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly permitted by Section 3.14, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate or other organizational existence, structure or ownership of any Obligated Party or the lack of legal existence of the Borrower or any other Obligated Party; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Obligated Party, or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any  Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions; (v) any direction as to application of payments by the Borrower or by any other party; (vi) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; (viii) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower; (ix) any payment made to any Secured Party on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Secured PartyrepaystotheBorrowerpursuanttocourtorderinanybankruptcy,reorganization,

arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Loan Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding; (x) any increase at any time or from time to time of the Guaranteed Obligations that exceeds the Maximum Liability of any Loan Guarantor hereunder (provided that nothing in this clause shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability); (xi) the release under Section 3.14 or joinder under Section 3.04 of any other Loan Guarantor; (xii) any action or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor or any other Person which may adversely affect such Loan Guarantor’s rights of contribution or subrogation (if any) against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Loan Guaranty, or this Loan Guaranty or the Credit Agreement having been determined (on whatsoever grounds) to be invalid, non-binding or unenforceable against any Loan Guarantor ab initio or at any time after the Closing Date; or (xiii) any other circumstance (including statute of limitations), act or omission whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Loan Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article 2 (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations). Each Loan Guarantor expressly authorizes the applicable Secured Parties, as set forth in the Loan Documents, to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations all without affecting the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder.

(b) Except for termination of a Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly permitted by Section 3.14, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to (i) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise or (ii) any Requirements of Law purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party of the Guaranteed Obligations or any partthereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the election not to or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non- perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party with respect to any Collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, in each case other than as set forth in Section 3.14.

Section 2.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, and except for termination of a Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly permitted by Section 3.14, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor or arising out of the disability of the Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor or any other party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any

I-4

other Loan Guarantor.

The Administrative Agent may, at its election and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any Collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty, except to the extent a Loan Guarantor is released as expressly provided in Section 3.14. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election may operate, pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

Section 2.05. Authorization. The Loan Guarantors authorize the Administrative Agent without notice or demand (except as may be required by applicable Requirements of Law and to the extent the applicable requirement cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time, subject to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect and the terms of any applicable Loan Documents, to:

Section 2.07.  Reinstatement.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Loan Guaranty, if, at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization (or any analogous proceeding in any jurisdiction) of the Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor, or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made.

I-6

Section 2.09.Contribution; Subordination; Maximum Liability.

(a) In the event that any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) makes any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or suffers any loss as a result of any realization upon any Collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty (each such payment or loss, an “Accommodation Payment”), each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” of such Accommodation Payment by suchPaying Guarantor, which amount shall be determined as of the date on which such Accommodation Payment was made. As of any date of determination, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” shall be equal to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability (as defined below) as of such date to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date. As of any date of determination,  the “Maximum Liability” of each Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Loan Guarantor hereunder and under the Credit Agreement without (i) rendering such Loan Guarantor “insolvent” within the meaning  of  Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraud Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Loan Guarantor with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Loan Guarantor unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA. Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Secured Obligations until the Termination Date. If, prior to the Termination Date, any such contribution payment is received by a Paying Guarantor at any time when an Event of Default exists, such contribution payment shall be collected, and segregated from the funds of the Paying Guarantor, enforced and received by such Loan Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Secured Obligations, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Loan Guarantor under the other provisions of this Loan Guaranty. This provision is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and may, subject to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents, be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The provisions hereof shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and each Loan Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party for the full amount of the GuaranteedObligations.

(b) It is the desire and intent of the Loan Guarantors and the Secured Parties that this Loan Guaranty shall be enforced against the Loan Guarantors to the fullest extent permissible under the Requirements of Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Requirements of Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to suchLoan

I-7

Guarantor’s Maximum Liability. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of such Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

Section 2.10. Information.  Each Loan Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such  Loan Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Loan Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and such Loan Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Loan Guarantor on a continuing basis information pertaining to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of each other Loan Guarantor.

Section 2.11. Representations and Warranties.

(a) As, when (including the Closing Date) and to the extent (taking into account all materiality and other qualifiers) representations and warranties are required to be made in accordance with the terms of Article 3 of the Credit Agreement, each Loan Guarantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Loan Guarantor, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on each of such representations and warranties as if they were fully set forth herein; provided that each such reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 2.11, be deemed to be a reference to such Loan Guarantor’sknowledge.

(b) Each Loan Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained adequate information pertaining to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of each other Loan Guarantor to evaluate its decision to enter into this Loan Guaranty, (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Loan Guaranty or any other Loan Document and the relationship between the Loan Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor and (iii) no joint venture is created by this Loan Guaranty or any other Loan Document or exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby orthereby.
