If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into any Borrower or any of the Lead Borrower’s other Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.11, then such financial ratio or test

(or the calculation of Consolidated Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.11.

(c)Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the Transactions, a Specified Transaction, the implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, the pro forma calculations (i) shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower and (ii) may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating expense improvements and cost synergies resulting from, or relating to, such initiative or change, such Transaction or such Specified Transaction projected by the Lead Borrower in good faith to be realizable as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and cost synergies had been realized on the first day of such period as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and cost synergies were realized during the entirety of such period and such that “run-rate” means the full recurring projected benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken or expected to be taken (including any savings or other benefits expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions), and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculation of such financial ratios or tests or basket that is based on a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA relating to such initiative or change, such Transaction or such Specified Transaction (and in respect of any subsequent pro forma calculation in which such initiative or change, such Transaction or such Specified Transaction is given pro forma effect) and during any applicable subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realizable, relating to such initiative or change, such Transaction or such Specified Transaction; provided that (x) a duly completed certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent together with the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), certifying that such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and/or cost synergies are readily identifiable, factually supportable and have been determined in good faith by the Lead Borrower to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable in the good faith judgment of the Lead Borrower, within eighteen (18) months after the consummation of such initiative or change (or, with respect to the Transactions, within 18 months after the consummation of the Transactions), such Transaction or such Specified Transaction, which is expected to result in such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements or cost synergies and (y) no cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements or cost synergies shall be added pursuant to clause (ii) above to the extent duplicative of any expenses or charges otherwise added to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (or any component thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, for such period; provided, further, that all amounts added back to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to clause (ii) above, together with all amounts added back to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to clause (ii) and clauses (a)(vi)(x), (a)(vii)(A) and (a)(vii)(B)(ii) in the definition thereof, and all amounts excluded from Consolidated Net Income pursuant to clauses (a) (other than subclause (a)(i), subclause (a)(iv) and subclause (a)(xi)) and (u) thereof, shall not exceed, in the aggregate 30% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (calculated after giving effect to such amounts that would be added back pursuant to such clause (ii) above and clauses (a)(vi)(x), (a)(vii)(A) and (a)(vii)(B)(ii) in the definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and excluded pursuant to clauses (a) (other than subclause (a)(i), subclause (a)(iv) and subclause (a)(xi)) and (u) of the definition of Consolidated Net Income).

(d)In the event that any Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test,

(i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subject to Section 1.11(a) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

(e)Any provision requiring Pro Forma Compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.14(a) shall be made assuming that compliance with the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and/or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio pursuant to such Section is required with respect to the most recent Test Period prior to such time (it being understood that for purposes of determining Pro Forma Compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.14(a), if no Test Period with an applicable Secured Net Leverage Ratio and/or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio cited in Section 6.14(a) has passed, the applicable Secured Net Leverage Ratio and/or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio level shall be the level for the first Test Period cited in Section 6.14(a) with an indicated Secured Net Leverage Ratio and/or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio level).

(f)[Reserved].

(g)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i)determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio;

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

(iii)determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Default;

in each case, at the option of the Lead Borrower (the Lead Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into or irrevocable notice is given in respect of such transaction (or such later date as specified by the Lead Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent from time to time) (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Lead Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with for all purposes; provided that if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal periods shall have been delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or monthly financials to the extent such monthly financials are available, the Lead Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests or baskets on the basis of such financial statements or monthly financial statements, as applicable, in which case such date or redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Lead Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket (including due to fluctuations of the

target of any Limited Condition Transaction), including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. If the Lead Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a pro forma basis or giving pro forma effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated; provided that, solely with respect to any such ratio, test or basket calculated with respect to a Restricted Payment or payment on account of Indebtedness under any Restricted Debt, the calculation of any such ratio, test or basket shall also be required to be satisfied on a non-pro forma basis until such time as such Subsequent Transaction is actually consummated.

Section 1.12Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 1.13Appointment of Lead Borrower. Each Subsidiary that is a Borrower as of the Closing Date or any other Subsidiary that is joined to the Agreement from time to time as a “Borrower” in accordance with Section 5.12 and the definition of “Borrower”, hereby designates the Lead Borrower (or any successor Lead Borrower appointed in accordance with Section 6.07(a)) as its representative and agent on its behalf for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed as the Lead Borrower. The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower other than the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to take any of the foregoing actions. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender may regard

any notice or other communication from the Lead Borrower as if it were on behalf of all of the Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or all Borrowers hereunder to the Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower or all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Lead Borrower (in such capacity) shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

Section 1.14Certifications. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.

Section 1.15Available Amount Transactions. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the Lead Borrower may elect to sequence such transactions in its discretion and, in such event, give effect to any action sequenced prior to any other action on such date on a Pro Forma Basis in connection with testing the permissibility of such subsequent action.

Section 1.16Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up if there is no nearest number).

Section 1.17References to Agreements, Laws, Etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to Organizational Documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, refinancings, restatements, amendment and restatements, renewals, restructurings, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, refinancings, restatements, amendment and restatements, renewals, restructuring, extensions, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by the Loan Documents and (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing, superseding or interpreting such Law.

Section 1.18Letters of Credit. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar amount of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar amount of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Article 2THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Revolving Loans to any Borrower in Dollars at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date, and until the earlier of the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitment of such Initial Revolving Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that, after giving effect to any

Borrowing of Initial Revolving Loans, (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Initial Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender with an Additional Commitment of a given Class, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Additional Revolving Loans of such Class to any Borrower, which Loans shall not exceed for any such Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Additional Commitment of such Class of such Lender as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Agreement.

Section2.02Loans and Borrowings.

(a)Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in Section 2.04.

(b)Subject to Section 2.01 and Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or BSBY Rate Loans as the Lead Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any BSBY Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (x) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (y) such BSBY Rate Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such BSBY Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (z) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrowers resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply); provided further, that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.17 in respect of any withholding tax with respect to such BSBY Rate Loan than that to which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).

(c)At the commencement of each Interest Period for any BSBY Rate Borrowing, such BSBY Rate Borrowing shall comprise an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each Base Rate Loan Borrowing when made shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000; provided that a Swingline Loan Borrowing may be made in a lesser aggregate amount that is (x) equal to the entire aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than

a total of 10 different Interest Periods plus three (3) additional Interest Periods in respect of each Incremental Revolving Loan, each Loan in connection with an Extension Amendment and each Loan in connection with a Refinancing Amendment in effect for BSBY Rate Borrowings at any time outstanding (or such greater number of different Interest Periods as the Administrative Agent may agree from time to time in its reasonable discretion).

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Borrower shall not, nor shall they be entitled to, request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans.

(e)With respect to BSBY, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time (with notice to the Lead Borrower) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

Section2.03Requests for Borrowings.

(a)Each Revolving Loan Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of BSBY Rate Loans shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice (provided that notices in respect of any Revolving Loan Borrowing (x) to be made in connection with the Mergers on the Closing Date, may be conditioned on the closing of the Transactions, subject to delivery by the Borrower of a funding indemnity letter, and (y) to be made in connection with any acquisition, investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness or other transactions or events, in each case, may be conditioned on the closing, of such Permitted Acquisition, permitted Investment or permitted irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, consummation of such transaction or occurrence of such events, in each case subject to Section 2.16). Each such notice must be in the form of a Loan Notice, as the case may be, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower or by telephone (and promptly confirmed by delivery of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower) and must be received by the Administrative Agent (by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tiff”)) not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of or continuation of BSBY Rate Loans (or one Business Day in the case of any BSBY Rate Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date) or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to BSBY Rate Loans, and (ii) 1:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or conversion to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), (or, in each case, such later time as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

(b)If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Loan Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested BSBY Rate Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details and amount of any Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing (x) in the case of any Base Rate Loan Borrowing, on the same Business Day of receipt of a Loan Notice in

accordance with this Section or (y) in the case of any BSBY Rate Borrowing, on the same Business Day as the receipt of a Loan Notice in accordance with this Section.

Section2.04Swingline Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) the Borrowing Base; provided that (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan and (ii) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral multiple of $50,000) or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is (x) equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrowers shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request by delivery of a written Swingline Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers on the same Business Day by means of a credit to the account designated in the related Swingline Loan Notice or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Lead Borrower (including, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank).

(b)The Swingline Lender (x) may by written notice (a “Swingline Participation Notice”) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations on the second Business Day following receipt of such notice in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding and (y) may, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), give a Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan, which Revolving Loans will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan. Such Swingline Participation Notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such Swingline Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation

under this paragraph by effecting a wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any participation in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers in respect of any Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of any sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent, and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrowers, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(c)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04 by the time specified in Section 2.04(b), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section2.05Letters of Credit.

(a)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Issuing Bank agrees, in each case in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, upon the request of the Borrowers, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars issued on sight basis only for the account of the Borrowers and/or any of its Subsidiaries (provided that the Borrowers will be the applicant and liable for any Letters of Credit issued for the account of any of its Subsidiaries) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.05(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.05(d).

(i)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of any issuance to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date), a request to issue a Letter of Credit, which shall specify that it is being issued under this Agreement (it being understood that, to the extent applicable, the issuance

of any Letter of Credit expressly for the benefit of any Subsidiary other than a Loan Party shall be contingent upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act). To request an amendment, extension or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit, (other than any automatic extension of a Letter of Credit permitted under Section 2.05(c)) the Lead Borrower shall submit such a request to the Issuing Bank selected by the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of amendment, extension or renewal (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank), identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended or renewed, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details of the amendment, extension or renewal. If reasonably requested by the Issuing Bank in connection with any request for any Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Borrowers with the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and to the extent inconsistent herewith shall be rendered null and void (or reformed automatically without further action by any Person to conform to the terms of this Agreement)), and all representations and warranties, covenants and events of default set forth therein shall contain standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person). No Letter of Credit may be issued, amended, extended or renewed unless (and on the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension, or renewal (i) the LC Exposure does not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (ii) (A) the aggregate amount of the Initial Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base or (y) the aggregate amount of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, (B) the aggregate amount of the Additional Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to any Class of Additional Revolving Credit Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect and (C) if such Letter of Credit has a term extending beyond the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after such Maturity Date does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect that are scheduled to remain in effect after such Maturity Date. The Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit other than a Standby Letter of Credit.

(ii)The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any

Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it;

(B)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable generally to all letters of credit issued by it;

(C)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000;

(D)such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; and

(E)such Letter of Credit contains any provision for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iii)The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form in accordance with the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto.

(b)Expiration Date.

(i)No Standby Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (A) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that, any Standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods of up to one year in duration (which additional periods shall not extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding clause (B) unless 100% of the then-available face amount thereof is Cash collateralized or backstopped on or before the date that such Letter of Credit is extended beyond the date referred to in clause (B) above pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank).

(ii)[Reserved].

(c)Participations. By the issuance of any Letter of Credit (or an amendment to any Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the

Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(d)Reimbursement.

(i)If the Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day, on which a Borrower receives written notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph (f) of this Section; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Sections 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Swingline Loan Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the obligation of the Borrowers to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Swingline Loan (subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02). If a Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(ii)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(d) by the time specified therein, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section shall be absolute and unconditional and

irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, material breach or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(f)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) upon any LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(g)Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless a Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that a Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the rate per annum then applicable to the Revolving Loans of such other Class); provided that if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank

shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which a Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).

(h)Replacement or Resignation of the Issuing Bank or Designation of New Issuing Banks.

(i)The Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time by written agreement among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the Borrowers shall pay (upon written request) all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders in writing to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i) who agrees in writing to such designation shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuing Bank may, upon ten days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank, which resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in such notice (but in no event less than ten days after the delivery of such written notice); it being understood that in the event of any such resignation, any Letter of Credit then outstanding shall remain outstanding (irrespective of whether any amounts have been drawn at such time). In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint any Revolving Lender that accepts such appointment in writing as successor Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Bank hereunder, the successor Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder.

(j)Cash Collateralization.

(i)If any Event of Default exists and the Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with Article 7 hereof, then within one Business Day on which the Lead Borrower receives written notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Issuing Bank demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (i), the Borrowers shall deposit, in a non-interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 100% of

the LC Exposure as of such date (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in Sections 7.01(f) or (g).

(ii)Any such deposit under clause (i) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, and each Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

(k)Applicability of ISP and UCP. The Borrowers agree that the Issuing Bank may issue the Letters of Credit subject to the ICC Publication Nos. 500 (1993 Revision) or 600 (2007 Revision) (the “UCP 500” or the “UCP 600”) or, at the Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit (as so chosen for the Letter of Credit, the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices 1998, ICC Publication No. 590 or, at the Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of the Letters of Credit (as so chosen for the Letters of Credit, the “ISP”, and each of the UCP and the ISP, an “ICC Rule”). The Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for in this Agreement. The UCP and the ISP (or such later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject matter thereof.

Section2.06[Reserved].

Section2.07Funding of Borrowings.

(a)Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than (i) 1:00 p.m., in the case of BSBY Rate Loans, and (ii) 1:00 p.m., in the case of Base Rate Loans, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received on the same Business Day, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Loan Notice or as otherwise directed in writing by the Borrowers; provided that Swingline

Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of any Borrowing prior to the proposed date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrowers. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent (without duplication) promptly after written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon forthwith for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing, and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Administrative Agent the corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall cease. If the Borrowers pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section2.08Type; Interest Elections.

(a)Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Loan Notice and, in the case of any BSBY Rate Borrowing, shall have the initial Interest Period specified in such Loan Notice. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a BSBY Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their respective Applicable Percentages, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrowers shall deliver a Loan Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(a).

(c)If any such Loan Notice requests a BSBY Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)Promptly following receipt of each Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Loan Notice with respect to any BSBY Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is

repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to a BSBY Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Lead Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a BSBY Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each BSBY Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section2.09Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable.

(b)Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 2.09(c), the Borrowers may at any time terminate or from time to time without premium or penalty reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class and (y) the Borrowing Base applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.02, as applicable.

(c)The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Revolving Credit Commitment under paragraph (b) of this Section in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such later date to which the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of each applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or postponed by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender of the relevant Class shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such reduction amount.

Section 2.10Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)

(i)The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Revolving Lender, the then-unpaid principal amount of the Initial Revolving Loans of such Lender on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (B) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Additional Revolving Lender, the then-unpaid principal amount of each Additional Revolving Loan of such Additional Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date applicable thereto and (C) to the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (y) the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(ii)On the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, the Borrowers shall (A) cancel and return outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, furnish to the Administrative Agent a Cash deposit (or if reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, a “backstop” letter of credit or otherwise have it deemed issued under documentation governing a refinancing of the Obligations) equal to 100% of the amount of the LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the Issuing Bank) as of such date, in each case to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Class shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Commitments of such other Class then in effect and (y) the Borrowing Base applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such other Class), (B) prepay Swingline Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Class shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Commitments of such other Class then in effect and (y) the Borrowing Base applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such other Class and (C) make payment in full in Cash of all accrued and unpaid fees and all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations with respect to the Revolving Facility of the applicable Class then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon.

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

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

(e)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.10 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any manifest error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10 and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern absent manifest error.

(f)Any Lender may reasonably request that any Loan made by it be evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrowers shall, promptly following such reasonable request, prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note that is payable to such Lender and its registered permitted assigns; it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable permitted assign) shall be required to return such Promissory Note to the Borrowers in accordance with Section 9.05(g) and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (or as promptly thereafter as practicable). If any Lender loses the original copy of its Promissory Note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing an indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. The obligation of each Lender to execute an affidavit of loss containing an indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers shall survive the Termination Date.

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a)Optional Prepayments.

(i)[Reserved].

(ii)Upon prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11(a)(iii), the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to voluntarily prepay any Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class or any Borrowing of Swingline Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16); provided that (A) after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Loans, any such prepayment of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.02 and (B) no Borrowing of Revolving Loans may be prepaid unless all Swingline Loans then outstanding, if any, are prepaid concurrently therewith, as applicable. Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.

(iii)The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and Swingline Lender, as applicable) in writing of any prepayment under this Section 2.11(a) in the form of a Notice of Loan Prepayment in the case of any prepayment of (i) a BSBY Rate Borrowing, not later than 4:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) a Base Rate Loan Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of prepayment or (iii) in the case of any prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than one Business Day before the date of prepayment (or, in each case, such later time as to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree). Each such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall be irrevocable (except as set forth in the proviso to this sentence) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that any Notice of Loan Prepayment delivered by the Lead Borrower may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such Notice of Loan Prepayment may be revoked or postponed by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such Notice of Loan Prepayment relating to any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount at least equal to the amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02, or such lesser amount that is then outstanding with respect to such Borrowing being repaid (and in increments of $100,000 in excess thereof or such lesser incremental amount that is then outstanding with respect to such Borrowing being repaid).

(b)Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)[Reserved].

(ii)[Reserved].

(iii)[Reserved].

(iv)[Reserved].

(v)[Reserved].

(vi)Prepayments made under this Section 2.11(b) shall be (A) accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.13, (B) subject to Section 2.16 and (C) applied to the Revolving Credit Exposure as follows: first, shall be applied ratably to the LC Disbursements and the Swingline Loans, and second, shall be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans.

(vii) (A) In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the lesser of (x) the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect and (y) the Borrowing Base applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, the Borrowers shall, promptly following receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the lesser of (I) the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect and (II) the Borrowing Base applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class, by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (x) prepaying Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or (y) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in a Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the Issuing Bank or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 100% of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the Issuing Bank).

(A)Each prepayment of any Revolving Loan Borrowing under this Section 2.11(b)(vii) shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages of the applicable Class.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a)The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, for their own account, the fees described in the Fee Letter.

(b)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to the Issuing Bank). Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter (or as otherwise agreed by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

(c)[Reserved].

(d)Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The determination by the Administrative Agent of the amount of any fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e)The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class on the actual daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with December 31, 2021) for the quarterly period then ended (and, in the case of the initial payment, amounts accruing since the Closing Date), and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate. For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee only, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class of any Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Loans of such Class of such Revolving Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class shall be deemed used as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans.

(f)The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are BSBY Rate Loans on such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (A) the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (B) the Termination Date, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank (for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the earlier of (A) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (provided that if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn), (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit terminates or (C) the Termination Date), computed at a rate equal to the rate agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers (but in any event not to exceed the amount set forth in the Fee Letter) of the Outstanding Amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees are payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing, if applicable, with December 31, 2021) for the quarterly period then ended; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a)The Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans comprising each Base Rate Loan Borrowing shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)The Revolving Loans comprising each BSBY Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the BSBY Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)During the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(a) (with respect to principal, interest or fees) or non-payment after acceleration pursuant to Section 7.01(g) (in each case unless otherwise waived or consented to by the Required Lenders), the Borrowers shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it under the Revolving Loans at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times thereafter equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that no interest at the Default Rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts shall be due and payable upon written demand.

(d)Accrued interest on each Revolving Loan and Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan and (i) on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan, (ii) in the case of a Revolving Loan of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class and (iii) in the case of any Swingline Loan, upon termination of all of the Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13(c) shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan (other than a Swingline Loan of any Class prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any BSBY Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Revolving Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate and BSBY Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

(f)The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each BSBY Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrowers

shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice.

Section 2.14 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)If in connection with any request for a BSBY Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.14(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 2.14(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining BSBY for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain BSBY Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to BSBY Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected BSBY Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the BSBY Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.14(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of BSBY Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected BSBY Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding BSBY Rate Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, but without limiting Section 2.14(a) above and this Section 2.14(b), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined (which determination likewise shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one (1), three (3) and six (6) month interest periods of BSBY including, without limitation, because the BSBY Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)Bloomberg or any successor administrator of the BSBY Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or Bloomberg or such administrator with respect to its publication of BSBY, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of

U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of BSBY after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “BSBY Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, BSBY will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”):

(x) Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; and

(y) Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment;

provided that, if initially BSBY is replaced with the rate contained in clause (y) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and the Administrative Agent notifies each Borrower and each Lender of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment.

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that neither of the alternatives set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above is available on or prior to the BSBY Replacement Date or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.14(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing BSBY or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.14 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmarks which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrowers and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (with notice to the Lead Borrower).

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time (with notice to the Lead Borrower) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

For purposes of this Section 2.14, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs

(a)If any Change in Law:

(i)imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank;

(ii)subjects the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on or with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or BSBY Rate Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any BSBY Rate Loan (or in the case of a Change in Law with respect to Taxes, any Loan) (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any BSBY Rate Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material (in such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s good faith determination), then, within 30 days after the Lead Borrower’s receipt of the written certificate contemplated by Section 2.15(c), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such

Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of any request for reimbursement under Section 2.15(a)(iii) resulting from a market disruption, the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market.

(b)If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then within 30 days of receipt by the Lead Borrower of the written certificate contemplated by Section 2.15(c) the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a written certificate to the Lead Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in Sections 2.15(a) or (b), (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined (as determined in good faith by such Lender) and (iii) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however that the Lead Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. Subject to Section 9.05, in the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any BSBY Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any BSBY Rate Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any BSBY Rate Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall, promptly following written demand from such Lender, compensate each Lender for the amount of any actual out-of-pocket loss, actual expense and/or liability (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund or maintain BSBY Rate Loans, but excluding loss of anticipated profit) that such Lender may incur or sustain as a result of such event. Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be required to deliver a written certificate to the Lead Borrower that (A) sets forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is

entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined (as determined in good faith by such Lender) and (B) certifies that such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a)All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law. If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17), each Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b)Without duplication of any obligation under Section 2.17(a), the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, any Other Taxes imposed on them, or, in the case of any Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, promptly following receipt by the Loan Parties of a certificate from the Administrative Agent evidencing the imposition of Other Taxes on the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)Without duplication of its obligations pursuant to Section 2.17(a) and Section 2.17(b), the Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 days after receipt by the Loan Parties of a certificate from the Administrative Agent evidencing the imposition of Indemnified Taxes on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted, other than any penalties determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or document in any settlement agreement) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted. In connection with any request for reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if delivered by a Lender) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such payment or liability was determined, and such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17(c), the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) for any amount to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender fails to notify the Loan Parties of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

(d)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment under any Loan Document that is attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes not described in clauses (i) or (ii) that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to any Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender (which shall include the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (iii)) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrowers and to any Successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such

100

Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that with respect to its Loans, such Lender is not a “bank” extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

101

(C)each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(iii)In the event that a successor to the Administrative Agent (a “Successor Administrative Agent”) is not an “exempt recipient” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)), on or before the date such Successor Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, such Successor Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers whichever of the following is applicable: (i) if the Successor Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Successor Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (ii) if the Successor Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (A) with respect to payments received for its own account, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (together with all required accompanying documentation) certifying that the Successor Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and may be treated as a United States person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax. At any time thereafter, the Successor Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of a Borrower.

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

102

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to such Lender’s owner and, as applicable, such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(a)If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which the Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.

(b)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(c)Definition of Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this Section 2.17, include the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.

(a)Unless otherwise specified, the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.

103

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 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. All payments (including accrued interest) hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, 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 or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b)All proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while an Event of Default exists and all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be applied, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due that have been incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, to the extent such costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent are required to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 9.03 of this Agreement), second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) or to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank from the Borrowers constituting Secured Obligations (in each case, to the extent such indemnities and expenses are required to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 9.03 of this Agreement), third, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made) owed to the Secured Parties on the date of any such distribution, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (including, with respect to LC Exposure, an amount to be paid to the Administrative Agent equal to 100% of the LC Exposure (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account) on such date, to be held in the LC Collateral Account as Cash collateral for such Obligations); provided that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.18(b), beginning with clause first above, and fourth, to, or at the direction of, the Lead Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations consisting of Banking Services Obligations and Secured Hedging Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Banking Services Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Banking Services Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has delivered a Secured Party Designation Notice shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 8 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

(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 or Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of

104

such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, 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 or Swingline Loans 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 or Swingline Loans; 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 Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution), (y) the application of any Cash collateral provided for in Section 2.21, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or sub-participations in Letter of Credit or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such 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 Lead Borrower or any Lender prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers or such Lender will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each Lender or the Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable 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 Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(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

105

Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain BSBY Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, or any Loan Party 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, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket 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 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain BSBY Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) any Loan Party 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, (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time or 50.1% of the Loans affected thereby) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (each such Lender described in this clause (iv), a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or (v) a Lender rejects a request to extend the maturity of its commitments and Loans under Section 2.23 or otherwise (a “Non-Extending Lender”), then the Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date on a non-pro rata basis (provided that, if, after giving effect such termination and repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the lesser of (I) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect and (II) the Borrowing Base applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, then the Borrowers shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Revolving Loan Borrowings of the applicable Class or Swingline Loans (and, if no Revolving Loan Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess) or (y) replace such Lender by requiring 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 (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, in each case of such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document

106

with respect to such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrowers may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate the Commitments, in each case if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. 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.

(a)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 BSBY Rate or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the BSBY 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 written notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent:

(i)any obligation of such Lender to make or continue BSBY Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to BSBY Rate Loans shall be suspended,

(ii)if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate of such Lender’s Base Rate Loans, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly),

(iii)the Borrowers shall, promptly upon written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or if applicable, convert all of such Lender’s BSBY Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue

107

to maintain such BSBY Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such BSBY Rate Loans (in which case the Borrowers shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment),

(iv)if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the BSBY Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the BSBY 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 BSBY Rate.

(b)Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(c)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 the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)(i) 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 Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Document and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to interest at the Default Rate.

(b)The Loans and 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 or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(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, pursuant to Section 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 Lead 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 Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Lead Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting

108

Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, as the Administrative Agent or the Lead 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, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender 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 Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers 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 Section 4.02 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. 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 LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure exists at the time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)the LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Facility (the “Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving 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 Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender that is attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Lead Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law, promptly following written notice of the Administrative Agent, Cash collateralize 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and any obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund participations in any Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above and any Cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender or pursuant to Section 2.21(c) above) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender with respect to such LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans and obligations to fund participations. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination

109

that there exists excess Cash collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Loans and LC Exposure among non-Defaulting Lenders described in clause (i) above);

(iii)if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), as the case may be, shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(iv)if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not Cash collateralized, prepaid or reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash collateralized or reallocated.

(e)So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans, and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, create, incur, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, Cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c) and/or Cash collateral provided in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any such or newly issued, extended or created Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (it being understood that Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(f)In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower agree that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Revolving Percentage of Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders or participations in Revolving Loans of the applicable Class as the Administrative Agent determine as necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class or its Applicable Revolving Percentage, as applicable. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees or default interest accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Lead Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.22 Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a)Incremental Commitments. The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.22, (i) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall make

110

its Commitment available to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its commitment of Incremental Revolving Loans, and (ii) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Revolving Loans under any Incremental Revolving Facility shall have identical terms to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans, subject to the proviso to clause (d)(ii) below.

(b)Incremental Request. Each request from the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility. Incremental Revolving Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (but each existing Lender will not have an obligation to make any Incremental Revolving Loan) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”) (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such, an “Incremental Revolving Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender) shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Facility to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 9.05 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(c)Effectiveness of Incremental Facility Agreement. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Agreement, and the Incremental Revolving Loans thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date of such Incremental Facility Agreement (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i)(x) no Event of Default exists or shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Loans; provided, that in the case of Incremental Revolving Loans incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Event of Default shall exist on the date of execution of the definitive documentation or binding commitment (or notice, as applicable) with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction and no Specified Event of Default shall exist on such Incremental Facility Closing Date and (y) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Article 3 or any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Incremental Facility Agreement (provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided, that the conditions in clause (y) shall only be required to the extent requested by the Persons providing more than 50.0% of the applicable Incremental Revolving Loans; provided, further, that in the case of Incremental Revolving Loans incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, if required, only certain customary specified representations (conformed as necessary for such acquisition, investment or other transaction) shall be true and correct in all material respects;

(ii)each Incremental Revolving Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if (x) approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied or conditioned) or (y) such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below); and

(iii)the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities shall not exceed (A) an amount equal to the greater of (x) $1825,8000,000 and (y) 100% of Consolidated

111

Adjusted EBITDA as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) minus the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (i)(A) of the definition of “Permitted Ratio Debt”, plus (B) an amount equal to the sum, without duplication, of all (i) voluntary commitment reductions and voluntary prepayments of the Loans under the Revolving Facility or any other pari passu revolving facility to the extent accompanied by a permanent commitment reduction plus (C) an unlimited amount so long as, in the case of this clause (C) only, such amount at such time could be incurred without causing the Secured Net Leverage Ratio (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) to exceed 2.75 to 1.00 (or in the case of Indebtedness incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or permitted Investment, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio (on a Pro Forma Basis) is no worse than the Secured Net Leverage Ratio in effect immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition or permitted Investment), after giving effect to any acquisition consummated in connection therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustments (including giving effect to the prepayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), and assuming for purposes of this calculation that (i) the full committed amount of any Incremental Revolving Facility then being made or incurred shall be treated as fully drawn and outstanding for such purpose and (ii) cash proceeds of any such Incremental Revolving Facility or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder then being incurred shall not be netted from Secured Net Debt for purposes of calculating such Secured Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable; provided, however, that if amounts incurred under this clause (C) are incurred concurrently with the incurrence of Incremental Revolving Loans in reliance on clause (A) and/or clause (B) above or any other fixed dollar basket, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be permitted to exceed the Secured Net Leverage Ratio set forth in clause (C) above to the extent of such amounts incurred in reliance on clause (A) and/or clause (B) (solely for the purpose of determining whether such concurrently incurred amounts incurred under this clause (C) are permissible) (it being understood that (I) if the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, incurrence test is met, then, at the election of the Lead Borrower, any Incremental Revolving Facility or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder may be incurred under clause (C) above regardless of whether there is capacity under clause (A) and/or clause (B) above and (II) any portion of any Incremental Revolving Facility or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder incurred in reliance on clause (A) and/or clause (B) shall be reclassified (as the Lead Borrower may elect from time to time) as incurred under clause (C) if the Borrowers meet the applicable leverage ratio under clause (C) at such time on a Pro Forma Basis).

(d)Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Facilities of any Class, except as otherwise set forth herein, shall be as agreed between the Lead Borrower and the applicable Incremental Revolving Lenders or Persons providing such Incremental Commitment. In any event:

(i)the Incremental Revolving Loans (except as otherwise specified below in this clause (i)) (A) shall not at any time be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Loan Party (unless the Required Lenders have declined or otherwise permitted a guarantee from such other Person and except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement) and (B) are not secured by a Lien on any property or asset of the Loan Parties that does not constitute Collateral (unless the Required Lenders have declined or otherwise permitted a Lien on such Collateral and except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement);

(ii)All terms of any Incremental Revolving Facilities and Incremental Revolving Loans thereunder shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments and

112

the Revolving Loans; provided, that underwriting, arrangement, structuring, ticking, commitment, upfront or similar fees, and other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all relevant lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facilities and related Incremental Revolving Loans, that may be agreed to among the Lead Borrower and the lender(s) providing and/or arranging Incremental Revolving Facilities and related Incremental Revolving Loans may be paid in connection with Incremental Revolving Facilities.

(iii)The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Facilities may at the option of the Lead Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, incorporate terms that would be favorable to existing Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes for the benefit of such existing Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes. In addition, if required to consummate any Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Facilities, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, undrawn fees and premiums on the applicable Loan being increased may be increased or extended but additional upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees may be payable to the Lenders participating in any such Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Facilities without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Lenders.

(iv)Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.22: (A) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Revolving Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such existing Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Lender’s) (1) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (2) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held ratably on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Incremental Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans of such Class pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (iv); and

(e)Incremental Facility Agreement. Commitments in respect of Incremental Revolving Facilities hereunder shall become Commitments (or in the case of an increase in Revolving Credit Commitments to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Agreement”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Lead Borrower, each Incremental Revolving Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Facility Agreement may,

113

without the consent of any other Loan Party, Administrative Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Incremental Revolving Loans as determined by the Lead Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loans, subject to such use otherwise being permitted under the terms of this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Loans, unless it so agrees.

(i)As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility or the making of any Incremental Revolving Loans under an Incremental Facility Agreement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall receive customary resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Borrowers and the Guarantors approving the Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Revolving Loans and customary written opinions of counsel, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, from each Additional Lender, an administrative questionnaire, in the form provided to such Additional Lender by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the relevant Additional Lenders shall be entitled to receive all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Revolving Loans and (iv) with respect to the making of any Incremental Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Loan Notice as if the relevant Incremental Revolving Loans were subject to Section 2.03 or another written request the form of which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that the requirement to deliver a Loan Notice shall not result in the imposition of any additional condition precedent to the availability of the relevant Incremental Revolving Loans).

(ii)The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Agreement and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22, and as may be necessary or advisable in order to create a fungible tranche of loans (including by increasing the amortization on existing tranches of loans) so long as any such amendments do not adversely affect Lenders holding the existing loans.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition or other Investment and the lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality (including the making and accuracy of the Specified Representations as conformed for such acquisition).

(g)This Section 2.22 shall supersede any other provisions hereof, including Sections 2.18 or 9.02, to the contrary.

(h)On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the maximum amount of LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender, as applicable, and the Borrowers.

114

Section 2.23 Extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Facility”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.23(b). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Lead Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which, if not consistent with the terms of the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) shall not be materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such facility (as determined in good faith by the Lead Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied or conditioned) or (iii) be on market terms and conditions (as determined by the Lead Borrower in good faith) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied or conditioned) (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”) unless (x) the Lenders providing Existing Revolving Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the latest maturity date of any Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (x)(A) the interest margins and floors with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins and floors for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins and floors contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (y) the commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee rate for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.23(b) or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 9.05. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Facility converted into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolving Credit Loan Extension

115

Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series”) for all purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments converted from an Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Revolving Credit Commitments other than the Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments were converted).

(c)Extension Request. The Lead Borrower shall provide the Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request at least three Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolving Credit Commitment are requested to respond (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.23. Subject to Section 2.19, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request. Any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Commitment subject to such Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Commitment which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of which applicable Revolving Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments requested to be extended pursuant to the Revolving Credit Loan Extension Request, Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Extension Election.

(d)Extension Amendment. Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Revolving Lender providing an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.23(b) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates certifying such resolutions and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) [reserved],

116

(iii) [reserved], (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of the third paragraph of Section 9.01 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(e)No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.23 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. This Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions herein to the contrary.

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including OID) incurred in connection with such refinancing.

The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.01.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

This Agreement will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same Collateral.

other termination of such Collateral Document in accordance with the terms thereof) or (iii) other than in any bona fide, good faith dispute as to the scope of Collateral or whether any Lien has been, or is required to be released, any Loan Party shall contest in writing the validity or enforceability of any material provision of any Loan Document (or any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents or any Loan Guaranty) or denies in writing that it has any further liability (other than by reason of the occurrence of the Termination Date), including with respect to future advances by the Lenders, under any Loan Document to which it is a party; it being understood and agreed that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain possession of any Collateral actually delivered to it or file any UCC (or equivalent) continuation statement shall not result in an Event of Default under this clause (k) or any other provision of any Loan Document; or

(l)Subordination. The Obligations ceasing or the assertion in writing by any Loan Party that the Obligations cease to constitute senior indebtedness under the subordination provisions of any document or instrument evidencing any Restricted Debt in excess of the Threshold Amount, or any such subordination provision being invalidated or otherwise ceasing, for any reason, to be valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto (other than as a result of the action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or any Lender);

then, subject to Section 6.14(b), and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Lead Borrower described in clause (f) of this Article 7), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Lead Borrower, take any of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments, and thereupon such Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate immediately and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers and (iii) require that the Borrowers deposit in the LC Collateral Account an additional amount in Cash as reasonably requested by the Issuing Bank (not to exceed 100% of the relevant face amount) of the then outstanding LC Exposure (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided that upon the occurrence of an event with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (f) of this Article 7, any such Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further action of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC, or equivalent applicable Requirement of Law, as applicable.

Article 8THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby, each, on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates and in their respective capacities as such and as Secured Parties in respect of any Secured Hedging

172

Obligations or Banking Services Obligations, as applicable, irrevocably appoints Bank of America (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as expressly set forth below with respect to (x) the Lead Borrower’s rights in connection with actions taken to realize upon the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Guaranty, (y) the Lead Borrower’s rights in the Collateral upon the Termination Date and (z) the Lead Borrower’s consent rights in connection with the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) 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 law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article 8 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 8 and Article 9 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

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

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Collateral Documents and any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith, and its duties shall be administrative in nature only, whether or not a Default has occurred and is continuing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duty, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent does not connote (and is not intended to connote) any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation 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

173

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 only so long as so directed in writing by the Required 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 (including any Collateral Document) or applicable Requirements of Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of a property interest in violation of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, and the Administrative Agent shall, in all cases, be justified in failing or refusing to act under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it first receives further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes it may require, including, without limitation, prepayment of any related expenses and protection against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any discretionary action at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), (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 Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity and (d) the powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under the Agreement and the Collateral Documents are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required 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 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 Lead Borrower or any Lender. 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 or to assure that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document have been or will continue to be properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (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 or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

Each Lender agrees that, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders), 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, any 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

174

the Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (x) (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 and (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, take such enforcement action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, in the absence of such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and Issuing Bank and solely to the extent permitted hereunder or pursuant to the other Loan Documents. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a direction by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall seek to enforce the Collateral Documents and to realize upon the Collateral in accordance with such direction; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to follow any direction by Required Lenders if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such direction is in conflict with any provisions of any applicable law or any Collateral Document, and the Administrative Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any Lenders, Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower or any other person or entity for following the direction of the Required Lenders. At all times, if the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders advises the Lenders that it wishes to proceed in good faith with respect to any enforcement action, each of the Lenders will cooperate in good faith with respect to such enforcement action and will not unreasonably delay the enforcement of the Collateral Documents.

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 and/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 363 thereof;

(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),

175

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 363 thereof;

(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 the UCC;

(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 connection with any foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or

(e)estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Secured Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party;

it being understood that (i) 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 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities on behalf of all Secured Parties except those expressly set forth in the Collateral Documents to which it is a party as Collateral Agent, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into any such Collateral Documents against the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Collateral Documents, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to foreclose on, or take possession of, the Collateral, if, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, such action would be in violation of Requirements of Law, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such action would result in the incurrence of liability by the Collateral Agent for which it is not fully indemnified by the Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders as to a course of action to be taken by it hereunder and under any of the Collateral Documents or in connection herewith and therewith or any other matters relating hereto and thereto.

Upon the Termination Date, all rights to the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied, in each case, pursuant to the terms hereof shall revert to the Lead Borrower, its successors or assigns, or otherwise as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at the Lead Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Lead Borrower such documents as the Lead Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

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 so long as the estimation of the amount or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid the Secured Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant Disposition. 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

176

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 other Disposition, by (y) the aggregate amount of all Secured Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.

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 any Obligations 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 Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid fees in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid under the terms of Agreement and other Loan Documents and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts to the extent due to the Lenders under Section 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same to the Lenders and Issuing Bank under the terms of the Agreement.

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments directly to the Administrative Agent on behalf of all of the Lenders or Issuing Bank to whom any amounts are owed under the Agreement and other Loan Documents unless the Administrative Agent expressly consents in writing to the making of such payments or distributions directly to such Lenders and Issuing Bank and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, 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 this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

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

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice (including any telephonic notice), request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other

177

distribution) that it believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith 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 Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender 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, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objections.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 and indemnification 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-agent 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-agent.

Any entity into which the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidations which the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be party, or any corporation to which substantially all of the corporate trust or agency business of the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further action.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Lead Borrower may, upon ten Business 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 Lead Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a Successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank, trust company or other Person reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $500,000,000; provided that during the existence and continuation of a Specified Event of Default, no consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required. If no successor has been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) 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 Bank,

178

(x) appoint a Successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Lead Borrower) or (y) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor agent or for other appropriate relief with it being understood that the reasonable costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by such parties, or (b) in the case of a removal, the Lead 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 Lead Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Lead 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 Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a Successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the Administrative Agent, 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 the Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and the Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Lead Borrower to enable the Lead Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Lead 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 Administrative Agent), and regardless of whether a Successor Administrative Agent is appointed, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under all other Loan Documents (other than its obligations under Section 9.13 hereof). The fees payable by the Borrowers to any Successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such Successor Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, 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.

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of business and 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 (which may contain Material Non-Public Information concerning the Loan Parties pursuant to the applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations)) as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the 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 Bank by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to

179

provide any Lender or the 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.

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

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

(a)automatically release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) that is sold or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Loan Documents to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that does not constitute (or ceases to constitute) Collateral, (iv) subject to Section 9.23, if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Loan Guaranty otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents, (v) as required under clause (d) below, (vi) in accordance with any applicable intercreditor agreements or (vii) subject to Section 9.02(b)(v) and (vi), if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02;

(a)subject to Section 9.23, automatically release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Loan Guaranty (i) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related permitted transactions if as a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that (x) no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any material Junior Indebtedness or material Junior Lien Indebtedness and (y) no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of clause (a) of the definition thereof unless such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly-owned Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction where such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a bona fide joint venture where the other Person obtaining an equity interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor is not an Affiliate of the Lead Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than as a result of such joint venture) and/or (ii) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date;

(b)to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to another Lien (A) permitted to exist on such property, and (B) not prohibited from being senior to the Liens of the Secured Parties under this Agreement; and

(c)enter into subordination, intercreditor, collateral trust and/or similar agreements with respect to Indebtedness (including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and/or any amendment thereof) that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Liens, and with respect to which Indebtedness and/or Liens, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust agreement or similar agreement.

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, 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.

each case specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender, and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrowers’ 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, 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;.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, in the Loan Guaranty or in any Collateral Document, no Hedge Bank or Banking Services Bank that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.18(b), the Loan Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof, the Loan Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the Loan Guaranty or any Collateral Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Banking Services Agreements and Hedging Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Banking Services Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Banking Services Agreements and Hedging Agreements in the case of a Termination Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to the Secured Parties for or have any 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. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrowers contemplated hereby with respect to any (a) Indebtedness (i) that is (A) required or permitted to be lien subordinated hereunder and/or (B) secured by Liens and (ii) with respect to which Indebtedness and/or Liens, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement (including Indebtedness that is permitted to be senior or pari passu with the Obligations) and/or (b) Secured Hedging Obligations and/or Banking Services Obligations, whether or not constituting Indebtedness (any such other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/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 any Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the

181

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 Borrowers, and the Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Additional Agreement.

To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03(b), 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). For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this paragraph, include the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, including any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective) or if any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this paragraph include the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender Recipient Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender

182

Recipient Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as provided herein or in any Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, neither the making of any Loan nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b)Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) (other than with respect to any amendment or waiver contemplated in Sections 9.02(b)(i) through (viii) below, which shall only require the consent of the Lenders expressly set forth therein and not the Required Lenders) and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (which acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be; provided that, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i)extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender holding such Commitment (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Sections 4.01 or 4.02 or of any Default, Event of Default, Default Rate, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Commitments shall not constitute such an extension or increase);

(ii)postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal (including final maturity), interest, premiums or fees hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that (i) the waiver (or amendment to the terms of) of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans or any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate, any Default or Event of Default,

185

mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Commitments shall not constitute such a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and (ii) any change to the definition of “Total Net Leverage Ratio”, “Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio”, “Secured Net Leverage Ratio” or the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a postponement of such scheduled payment);

(iii)reduce or forgive the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 9.02(b)) any premiums, fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that (i) the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate or to comply with any most-favored-nation pricing protection, any mandatory prepayment of the Loans or mandatory reduction of any Commitments shall not constitute such a reduction and (ii) any change to the definition of “Total Net Leverage Ratio”, “Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio”, “Secured Net Leverage Ratio” or the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in any rate of interest, principal, premiums, fees or other amounts);

(iv)change any provision of (i) this Section 9.02 or (ii) the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents, in each case to reduce the percentage set forth therein, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders (if such consent is otherwise required) or the Administrative Agent (if the consent of the Required Lenders is not otherwise required), additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments);

(v)other than in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 6.07 or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi)other than in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 6.07 or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii)amend or modify the provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.18(a), 2.18(b) or 2.18(c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Sections 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.05(g) or as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; and

(viii)contractually subordinate in right of payment of the Obligations or Liens granted to the Collateral Agent in the Collateral in connection with such Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, except to (A) Indebtedness that is permitted by the Loan Documents as in effect as of the Closing Date to be senior in right of payment to such Obligations and/or be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is senior to such Lien, (B) any “debtor in-possession” facility or (C) any other Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness is offered ratably to all Lenders of the loans being exchanged;

186

provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Bank in addition to the Lenders required above, adversely affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; provided that the Letter of Credit Sublimit may be increased with the consent of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, adversely affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended to adjust the borrowing mechanics related to Swingline Loans with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lead Borrower so long as the obligations of the Revolving Lenders, if any, who have not executed such amendment are not adversely affected thereby; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, adversely affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter shall be required to amend, modify or supplement the terms thereof; and (v) no Lender consent is required to effect an Incremental Facility Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment (except as expressly provided in Sections 2.22 or 2.23, as applicable) (and the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of any other party as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the terms of any such incremental facility, refinancing facility or extension facility). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Sections 4.01 or 4.02, or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, Default Rate, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Commitments shall not constitute such an extension or increase), and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionally to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender consent is required for the Administrative Agent to enter into or to effect any amendment, modification or supplement to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement or in any document pertaining to any Indebtedness permitted hereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral, including any Incremental Commitment or Refinancing Indebtedness, or any Permitted Ratio Debt for the purpose of adding the holders of such Indebtedness (or their senior representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto, in each case as contemplated by the terms of such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make (i) such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, are required to effectuate the foregoing, (ii) any immaterial changes and (iii) material changes thereto in light of prevailing market conditions approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, which material changes shall be posted to the Lenders not less than five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent) before execution thereof and, if the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such changes within five (5) Business Days after posting (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent), then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent’s entry into such intercreditor agreement (with such changes) is reasonable and to have consented to such intercreditor agreement (with such changes)); provided, further, that no such agreement shall adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the

187

benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Lenders providing the Replacement Revolving Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of any Class (“Replaced Revolving Loans”) with one or more tranches of replacement revolving loans (“Replacement Revolving Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.22, the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Revolving Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Revolving Loans (plus accrued interest, fees, expenses and premium), (b) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of Replacement Revolving Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replaced Revolving Loans, at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Replaced Revolving Loans prior to the time of such incurrence), (c) such Replacement Revolving Loans shall constitute and qualify as Refinancing Indebtedness and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Loans shall be as agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Loans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, guarantees, Collateral Documents and related documents executed by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, modified, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Lead Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is delivered (A) in order to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (B) as required by local Law or advice of counsel to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law, (C) in order to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower) or (D) in order to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Collateral Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, grant extensions of time for the satisfaction of any of the requirements described in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” under Section 5.12 or Section 5.14 or any Collateral Document in respect of any particular Collateral or any particular Subsidiary if it determines that the satisfaction thereof with respect to such Collateral or such Subsidiary cannot be accomplished without undue expense or unreasonable effort or due to factors beyond the control of the Borrowers and the other Restricted Subsidiaries of the Lead Borrower by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be satisfied under this Agreement or any Collateral Document.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in a manner not materially adverse to any Lender.

188

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.02, if at any time after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall have jointly identified (i) an error, omission, ambiguity, mistake, or defect; (ii) administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (iii) incorrect cross references, or similar inaccuracies, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a)The Borrowers agree (i) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent (but limited to (A) in the case of legal fees and expenses, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Moore & Van Allen PLLC, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and counsel otherwise retained with the Lead Borrower’s consent (excluding in all events allocated costs of in-house counsel) and (B) fees and expenses related to any other advisor or consultant, solely to the extent the Lead Borrower has consented to the retention or engagement of such Person) in connection with the syndication and distribution (including via the Internet or through a service such as IntraLinks) of the Revolving Facility, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and any related documentation, including in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document and (ii) from and after the Closing Date, within thirty (30) days after written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request as further detailed below) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders (but limited to (A) in the case of legal fees and expenses, (x) the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of outside counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and counsel otherwise retained with the Lead Borrower’s consent (excluding in all events allocated costs of in house counsel), and (y) solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and one additional local counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole, to each group of similarly situated affected parties, and (B) fees and expenses related to any other advisor or consultant, solely to the extent the Lead Borrower has consented to the retention or engagement of such Person) in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made and/or Letters of Credit issued hereunder. Except to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrowers within 30 days of receipt by the Borrowers of an invoice setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request.

(b)The Borrowers shall indemnify the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses, claims, actual damages and liabilities (but limited (A) in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole and solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, (x) one

additional counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and (y) one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole and (B) fees and expenses related to any other advisor, solely to the extent the Lead Borrower has consented to the retention of such Person), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the Indemnitee’s reliance on any Communication executed using an Electronic Signature, or in the form of an Electronic Record), the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and/or the enforcement of the Loan Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letters of Credit and any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under an Letters of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iii) any actual or alleged Release or presence of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, to or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrowers, any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party or any Environmental Liability related to the Borrowers, any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party and/or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability (i) is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its Related Parties) or, to the extent such judgment finds that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability has resulted from such Person’s (or its Related Parties) material breach of the Loan Documents or (ii) arises out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnitee (or its Related Parties) against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that is brought by or against the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger, acting in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or as the Lead Arranger) that does not involve any act or omission of the Lead Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 9.03 to such Indemnitee for any fees, expenses, or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this paragraph (b) shall be payable by the Borrowers within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Lead Borrower of a written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Lead Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities in respect of a non-Tax claim.

(c)The Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if any proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrowers, or if there is a final judgment against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee

190

from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability.

(d)In the event that the Administrative Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Administrative Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Administrative Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Administrative Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Administrative Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Except for such claims or actions arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any person or entity for any Environmental Claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Administrative Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder relating to the discharge, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials into the Environment. If at any time after any foreclosure on the Collateral (or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure) upon the exercise of remedies in accordance with the Collateral Documents it is necessary or advisable to take possession, own, operate or manage any portion of the Collateral by any person or entity other than the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall appoint an appropriately qualified Person to possess, own, operate or manage such Collateral.

Section 9.04 Waiver of Claim. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, any Loan Party and/or any Related Party of any thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, except, in the case of any claim by any Indemnitee against the Borrowers, to the extent such damages would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.03.

Section 9.05 Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as permitted by Section 6.07) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee pursuant to an assignment made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05(b) (such an assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.05(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05(h); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may assign or transfer by participation any of its rights or obligations hereunder to (i) any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) a natural Person or (iii) the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates. No assignment, transfer or participation may be made to a Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person, in each case, absent the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower (which consent may be made or withheld in its sole and

191

absolute discretion), in which case, such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.05(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable trade date (including as a result of the specification by the Lead Borrower pursuant to the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), such assignee shall not retroactively be considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment to a Disqualified Institution in violation of this Section 9.05 shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 9.05 shall apply.

(ii)If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of this Section 9.05, (I) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (A) not to vote on such plan of reorganization, (B) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such plan of reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (A), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan of reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (C) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (B), (II) such Disqualified Institution shall not vote for any purpose under the Loan Documents, (III) such Disqualified Institution shall not be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification under the Loan Documents, and nothing in the Loan Documents shall restrict the rights and remedies of the Loan Parties against such Disqualified Institution and (IV) the Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment (on a non-pro rata basis), (B) [reserved] and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign or transfer, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.05), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii)The Lenders and the Lead Borrower, on behalf of itself, the other Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries, expressly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as such or as an arranger, bookrunner or other agent hereunder) shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Institution or Excluded Party or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment

192

or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution or Excluded Party. Without limiting the forgoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions or Excluded Parties.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.05(b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 9.05(b), participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, denied, delayed or conditioned) of:

(A)the Lead Borrower; provided that no consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required for (i) [reserved], (ii) an assignment of all or a portion of any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Exposure to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund thereof, (iii) [reserved] and (iv) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, to any Assignee (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a Disqualified Institution); provided, further, that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof;

(B)the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (i) [reserved], (ii) of all or any portion of any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Exposure to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund thereof, (iii) [reserved], or (iv) from the Administrative Agent to its Affiliates;

(C)each Issuing Bank at the time of such assignment; provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for (i) any assignment not in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Exposure or (ii) any assignment to the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of the Administrative Agent; and

(D)the Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of a Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment not in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Exposure or any assignment to the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent.

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

(A)except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (in the case of each Revolving Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment) unless each of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise

193

consents; provided that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(A)any partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the relevant assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(B)the parties to each assignment shall (1) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (2) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together, in each case, with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent);

(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, and all “know your customer” documents reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, but without limitation, the USA Patriot Act; and

(D)the Assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower the forms described in Section 2.17 applicable to it.

This Section 9.05 shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Revolving Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Revolving Facilities.

(c)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05(d), from and after the recordation date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Promissory Note, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall promptly execute and deliver a Promissory Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.05(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.05(e).

(d)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, LC Exposure (specifying the

194

unreimbursed amounts), LC Disbursements and the amounts due under Section 2.05, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of, and consent to (to the extent required), a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, and each other party thereto an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.05(b)(ii)(B) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Lead Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.05(d). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and any Lender (but only as to its own holdings), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. The parties intend that Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(e)Any Lender may at any time, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC Disbursements and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Article 8 without regard to the existence of any participations. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right (i) to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) clauses (i) through (iii), (vii) and (viii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clauses (iv) through (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b). Subject to Section 9.05(f) and a Participant’s compliance with Section 2.17 and agreement to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 and Section 2.19 as if it were an Assignee under Section 9.05(b), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, including the requirements under Section 2.17 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.22 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent the Lender from which it acquired its participation interest. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of

195

each Participant and its respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal amounts (and related stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5 of the Proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5 of the Proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version) and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(g)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution) (including under its Promissory Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (other than a Disqualified Institution) identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof, shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Section), but neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)

196

that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the Requirements of Law of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided that (x) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (y) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) subject to the confidentiality terms hereof disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.05, such Disqualified Institutions may be liable to the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties for any and all claims, including breach of contract.

The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Lender requesting the same.

Section 9.06 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loan and issuance of any Letter of Credit regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 9.03 and 9.13 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitment, the occurrence of the Termination Date or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof but in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent has received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

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.

197

Section 9.09 Right of Setoff. At any time when an Event of Default exists, upon the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than escrow, payroll, employee health and benefits, pension, fiduciary, 401(K), petty cash, trust and tax accounts and other accounts of the type described in the definition of Excluded Assets) at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Any applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or such Affiliates may have.

Section 9.13 Confidentiality.

(a)Treatment of Certain Information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates (other than Excluded Parties), its auditors and its Related Parties on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed of their obligation to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Lead Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or pursuant to any routine audit or examination conducted by accountants or any governmental regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (iii) to the extent required by Requirements of Law regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Lead Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.13 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower), to (A) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder (other than any Person with respect to whom the Lead Borrower has affirmatively denied to provide consent to assignment in accordance with Section 9.05(b)(i)(A) or any Disqualified Institution (it being understood that the list of Disqualified Institutions may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant, in reliance on this clause (vi))), (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder, (B) the provider of any Platform or other electronic delivery service used by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender to deliver Borrower Materials or notices to the Lenders, or (C) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the application, issuance, publishing and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, or (viii) with the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower or to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available

200

other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.13, (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party (so long as such source is not known (after due inquiry) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party, the Sponsor or your respective Affiliates) or (C) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from the Borrowers or violating the terms of this Section 9.13 or any other confidentiality obligation over to the Borrowers. For purposes of this Section 9.13, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to any Loan Party, its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, other than any such information that is publicly available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and customary information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

(b)Non-Public Information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledge that (i) the Information may include Material Non-Public Information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of Material Non-Public Information and (iii) it will handle such Material Non-Public Information in accordance with Requirements of Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

(c)Customary Advertising Material. The consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required prior to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby using the product photographs or trademarks of the Loan Parties; provided no consent shall be required for disclosure of the name and industry of the Borrowers, the logo of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the types, amounts, tenor and use of proceeds of the credit facilities contained herein in customary marketing materials of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.14 No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Lead Arranger, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, in its capacity as such, has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading

201

thereto (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent or any such Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender, in its capacity as such, is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Loan Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Loan Party waives any claim that it may have against any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising solely by virtue of this Agreement. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that such Loan Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party further agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent or any Lender has any obligation to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

Section 9.15 Electronic Signatures; Counterparts.

This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication related to this Agreement, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, and each Lender (collectively, each a “Credit Party”) agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each of the Loan Parties to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Loan Parties enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and each of the Credit Parties of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Credit Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor the Swingline Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or

202

genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by a Responsible Officer (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Loan Parties and each Credit Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party and each related party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Credit Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

Section 9.16 Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan, issue and Letter of Credit or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.17 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (as published at 81 FR 29397, 31 CFR 1010, 1020, 1023, 1024, and 1026), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

Section 9.18 Disclosure of Agent Conflicts. Each Loan Party, the Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

Section 9.19 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender and the Issuing Bank as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Requirement of Law can be perfected only by possession, control or notation. If any Lender or Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent) obtains possession, control or notation of any Collateral, such Lender, Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.20 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”)

203

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 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 Rate to the date of repayment, have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.

Section 9.21 Intercreditor Agreements. REFERENCE IS MADE TO ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER HEREUNDER AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO EACH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS “COLLATERAL AGENT” (OR OTHER APPLICABLE TITLE) ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.21 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORMS OF CERTAIN OF WHICH ARE ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO EACH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF EACH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

Section 9.22 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; provided that in the case of any conflict or inconsistency between any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any Loan Document, the terms of such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements shall govern and control.

Section 9.23 Release of Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, (a) any Subsidiary 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 permitted transactions if as a result thereof such Subsidiary 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) and/or (ii) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and (b) any Subsidiary Guarantor that qualifies as an “Excluded Subsidiary” shall be released by the Administrative Agent promptly following the request therefor by the Lead Borrower; provided that (x) no release pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(i) or (b) shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any material Junior Indebtedness or material Junior Lien Indebtedness and (y) no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of clause (a) of the definition thereof unless such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly-owned Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction where such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a bona fide joint venture where the other Person obtaining an equity interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor is not an Affiliate of the Lead Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than as a result of such joint venture). 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; provided, that, in connection with such documents requested by any Loan Party,

204

upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any execution and delivery of any document pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 9.23 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 9.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding of the parties hereto, each such party acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 9.25 Certain ERISA Matters.

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

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

(ii)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is

205

applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

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

(b)In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 9.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

(a)To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any

206

such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 9.27 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several on an unsubordinated basis regardless of which such Person actually receives Credit Extensions hereunder or the amount of such Credit Extensions received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender accounts for such Credit Extensions on its books and records. Any rights that arise hereunder against a Borrower arise as such rights would arise against the Lead Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, each Borrower is a Primary Obligor hereunder.
