The designation of any such arrangement as a Treasury Management Arrangement shall not create in favor of the counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management, enforcement or release of any Collateral.

“Treasury Management Obligations” has the meaning given to such term in the definition of “Obligations”.

“Treasury Rate” means, as of any date, the yield to maturity as of such date of the United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in

except for equity contribution obligations in connection with Non-Recourse Indebtedness, such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Parent nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (i) to subscribe for additional Stock or Stock Equivalents or (ii) to maintain or preserve such Person’s financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results;

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than a Captive Insurance Subsidiary or a North Ocean Entity) would fail to meet the requirements of clause (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii) or (c)(iv) above as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date pursuant to Section 8.1, the Parent will be in default of such covenant.

The board of directors of the Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to Section 8.1; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. Upon any such designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the redesignated Subsidiary will become a Guarantor pursuant to and if required by Section 7.11.

For purposes of the definition of “Ownership Adjusted Fair Market Value”, so long as (a) BMD directly owns 100% of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of BMDL and (b) BMDL owns the DB 30, (x) BMD shall be considered the Vessel Owning Subsidiary with respect to the DB 30 and (y) any Indebtedness of BMDL shall be considered Indebtedness of BMD.

“Voting Stock” means Stock of any Person having ordinary power to vote in the election of members of the board of directors, managers, trustees or similar controlling Persons of such Person (irrespective of whether, at the time, Stock of any other class or classes of such entity shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).

Except as set forth below, all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in conformity with GAAP and all accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in conformity with GAAP.

If any change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.1 is hereafter required or

permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or any successors thereto) and such change is adopted by the Parent without objection from the Parent’s Accountants and results in a change in any of the calculations required by Article V or VIII had such accounting change not occurred, the parties hereto agree to enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants by the Parent shall be the same after such change as if such change had not been made; provided, however, that no change in GAAP that would affect a calculation that measures compliance with any covenant contained in Article V or VIII shall be given effect until such provisions are amended to reflect such changes in GAAP.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Account Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein.

The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular Article, Section, subsection or clause in this Agreement.

Unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, (i) references in this Agreement to an Exhibit, Schedule, Article, Section, clause or sub-clause refer to the appropriate Exhibit or Schedule to, or Article, Section, clause or sub-clause in this Agreement, (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, and (iii) the words “above” and “below”, when following a reference to a clause or a sub-clause of any Loan Document, refer to a clause or sub-clause within, respectively, the same Section or clause.

Each agreement defined in this Article I shall include all appendices, exhibits and schedules thereto. References in this Agreement to such agreement shall be to such agreement as so amended, restated, supplemented or modified, unless (i) the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders is required hereunder for an amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to any such agreement and such consent is not obtained or (ii) it is otherwise specified that such reference refers to such agreement as of a particular date.

References in this Agreement to any statute shall be to such statute as amended or modified, together with any successor legislation, in each case in effect at the time any such reference is operative unless it is otherwise specified that such reference refers to such statute as of a particular date.

The term “including” when used in any Loan Document means “including without limitation” except when used in the computation of time periods. The phrase “in the aggregate”, when used in any Loan Document, means “individually or in the aggregate,” unless otherwise expressly noted.

Upon the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(a), the reference to CA CIB in the definition of Dollar Equivalent shall be deemed to refer to the financial institution then acting as the Administrative Agent or one of its Affiliates if it so designates.

On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each a “Term Loan”) to the Term Borrower on the Effective Date in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Commitment. Each Term Lender’s Term Commitment shall terminate immediately and without any further action upon the making of a Term Loan by such Term Lender or, if earlier, at 5:00 p.m., (New York City time) on the Effective Date. Amounts of Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Each Borrowing of Term Loans on the Effective Date shall be made on notice given by the Term Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) on the Effective Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days prior to the Effective Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) (or shall be made by telephone and the same information shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), specifying (A) the Effective Date as the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (D) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (E) remittance instructions. The Term Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of Term Loans shall be allocated ratably in accordance with each Term Lender’s Term Commitment.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Term Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Term Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Term Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Term Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in

reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Term Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Term Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Term Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Term Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Term Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Term Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Term Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Term Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Term Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Term Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Term Borrower.

The failure of any Term Lender to make its Term Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified, shall not relieve any other Term Lender of its obligations to make its Term Loan or payment on such date but no such other Term Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Term Lender to make a Term Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue one or more Letters of Credit at the request of, and for the account of, the LC Borrower to support obligations of the LC Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Joint Ventures, from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is 30 days before the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that no Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following:

any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

such Issuer shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any LC Lender or the LC Borrower, on or prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 3.1 (with respect to an Issuance on the Effective Date) or 3.2 is not then satisfied or duly waived in accordance with Section 11.1;

after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments in effect at such time, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer would exceed its Letter of Credit Issuer Commitment or the aggregate outstanding amount of all Financial Letters of Credit would exceed the Financial Letter of Credit Sublimit;

such Letter of Credit is requested to be issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer, in its sole discretion exercised in a commercially reasonable manner; or

with respect to any requested Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, (A) the Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall not have approved such Issuance or (B) the Issuer receives notice from the Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time in respect of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency would exceed $150,000,000.00 on the date of such proposed Issuance.

All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms hereof. None of the Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit be later than the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months from the date of Issuance thereof or such later date as the applicable Issuer may agree in its sole discretion and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date or, with the approval of the applicable Issuer at its discretion, any date that is after the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a fixed term may provide for the auto-renewal thereof for additional periods of not more than 12 months each; provided, further, however, that if any Issuance or renewal occurs during the 12 month period prior to the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date or the LC Borrower requests (and the applicable Issuer approves) the Issuance of a Letter of Credit that expires after the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility

Termination Date, then on or before the date that is 95 days prior to the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date (or on the date of such Issuance, if the date of such Issuance is later than the 95^th day prior to the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date and the relevant Issuer so consents), the LC Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Collateral Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit that expires after the Scheduled Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date (each such Letter of Credit an “Extended Letter of Credit”). On the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date and if all Letter of Credit Obligations have been repaid in full, such Extended Letters of Credit shall for all purposes cease to be Letters of Credit hereunder and the obligations of the LC Lenders to fund their Ratable Portions of such Extended Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (h) below shall be terminated except to the extent that any Letter of Credit has an expiration date after the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date and has not been cash collateralized as described above. After the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date and the repayment in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations, the terms for release of such cash collateral shall be as agreed from time to time between the LC Borrower and such Issuer; provided that in the absence of such agreement between the LC Borrower and such Issuer, the terms of this Agreement shall, as between the LC Borrower and such Issuer, continue to govern the fees, costs and expenses payable in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit.

In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the LC Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer at least two Business Days’ (unless the relevant Issuer otherwise agrees) prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable on and after the Issuance of such Letter of Credit (and, prior to such Issuance, may be revoked only with the consent of the Issuer) and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Unless the Issuer otherwise agrees, such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the LC Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any LC Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the first Issuance of a Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the participation of each

Lender in the Letter of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto, the LC Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by the LC Borrower, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which writing may be a telecopy or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent, electronic mail) of the Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it, the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the LC Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation and of the cancellation, termination or expiration of any Letter of Credit (of which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each LC Lender);

upon the request of any LC Lender, furnish to such LC Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such LC Lender; and

no later than five Business Days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2014), provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the LC Borrower a schedule of Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter and any information requested by the LC Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

Effective with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, and otherwise effective immediately upon the Issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each LC Lender and each LC Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from each Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the LC Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

The LC Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of

Credit issued for its account in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent of such payment if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the LC Borrower receives notice from such Issuer (or, if such notice is not received prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York Time) on any Business Day, then no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York Time) on the next succeeding Business Day) that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the LC Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. If any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the LC Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the LC Borrower in respect thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed at the Base Rate plus 4.50% per annum, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each LC Lender, of such failure, and each LC Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such LC Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such LC Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Whenever any Issuer receives from the LC Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from an LC Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such LC Lender in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the LC Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the LC Lenders (except as otherwise set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.4(b)) to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the LC Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the LC Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at

any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any LC Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the LC Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the LC Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever. Any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in any case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to release any Issuer from liability with respect to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer, such LC Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any amount so unpaid together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to

Base Rate Loans. The failure of any LC Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other LC Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no LC Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other LC Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other LC Lender’s Ratable Portion of any such payment.

The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and each obligation due with respect thereto, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Dollar Equivalent of each Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a drawn Letter of Credit shall be calculated on the date the Issuer pays the draw giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation. The Administrative Agent shall determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the date of each Issuance of such Letter of Credit and at any time, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency at any time upon request of any LC Lender or Issuer.

If the Issuer of a Letter of Credit is not the Person acting as Administrative Agent, the LC Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of such Letter of Credit promptly upon the Issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a copy of any amendment to such Letter of Credit promptly upon the effectiveness of such amendment.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if any LC Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to the Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the LC Borrower or such LC Lender to eliminate the Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be Issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which the Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the LC Borrower when a Letter of Credit is Issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of Issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

The applicable Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments or the Term Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 and (ii) each such reduction shall be made ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Term Commitment, as applicable. A notice of termination of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments or Term Commitments, as applicable, may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing transactions, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the applicable Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments or Term Commitments, as applicable, that the refinancing condition has not been met and the termination is to be revoked (it being understood that any Term Loans outstanding at the time of such notice will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11).

Subject to Section 2.6(b), the Term Borrower shall repay Term Loans on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing with September 30, 2014 and ending with the last such day to occur prior to the Scheduled Term Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date.

Any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce any subsequent Installments as provided in Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.9(g), respectively.

Prior to any repayment of any Term Loans under this Section 2.6, the Term Borrower shall select the Term Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent of such selection. Each such notice may be given by telephone or in writing (and, if given by telephone, shall promptly be confirmed in writing). Each repayment of Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Lenders holding such Term Loans in accordance with their applicable Ratable Portions.

The Term Borrower promises to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier).

Each Term Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Term Borrower to such Term Lender resulting from each Term Loan of such Term Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Term Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Term Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Term Borrower to each Term Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Term Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Term Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Term Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Term Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Term Borrower to repay the Term Loans in accordance with their terms.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Term Lender requests that the Term Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Term Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Term Lender by the Term Borrower hereunder, the Term Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Term Lender evidencing any Term Loans of such Term Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B.

Voluntary Prepayments. The Term Borrower may, at any time, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in whole or in part; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Term Loans is made by the Term Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Borrowing, the Term Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Term Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment; provided that a notice of prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in whole or in part may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing transactions, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Term Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for such prepayment that the refinancing condition has not been met and the notice of such prepayment is to be revoked (it being understood that any Term Loans outstanding at the time of such notice will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11).

Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce any subsequent Installments as directed by the Term Borrower (or, if the Term Borrower does not provide any directions, in the direct order of maturity).

In the event all or any portion of the Term Loans (A) are prepaid through any voluntary prepayments, (B) are repriced, including pursuant to any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement, (C) are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.9 (other than Section 2.9(b) or Section 2.9(d)) or (D) become due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2, in each case on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, such prepayments or repricings will be made at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid or repriced, together with a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the present value of the sum of (1) the Applicable Margin that would have been payable for Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans plus (2) the Eurodollar Rate for Term Loans (assuming an Interest Period of three months in effect on the date of the prepayment or repricing), in each case calculated as a rate per annum on the amount of the principal amount of such Term Loans prepaid or repriced from the date of such prepayment or repricing until the first anniversary of the Effective Date plus (3) 1.0% of the principal of such Term Loans prepaid or repriced (in each case, computed on the basis of actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days and using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of the date of such prepayment or repricing plus 50 basis points).

In the event that all or any portion of the Term Loans are (A) prepaid through any voluntary prepayments, (B) prepaid pursuant to Section 2.9(c) or (C) repriced (including pursuant to any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement) (in each case, in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement directed at, or the result of which would be, the lowering of the effective interest cost or the weighted average yield of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) or the incurrence of any Indebtedness having an effective interest cost or weighted average yield that is less than the effective interest cost or weighted average yield of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) so prepaid or repriced (a “Repricing Transaction”)) occurring after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, such prepayment or repricing will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so prepaid or repriced. If all or any portion of the Term Loans held by any Term Lender are effectively prepaid, refinanced or replaced pursuant to Section 2.17 as a result of, or in connection with, such Term Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any amendment, waiver, or consent referred to in clause (C) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction) occurring after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, such effective prepayment, refinancing or replacement will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so prepaid, refinanced or replaced.

Not later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Specified Asset Sale, the Term Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Term Borrower may, prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent to the effect that the Parent intends to cause such Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be reinvested in long-term assets that are used or useful in the business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries within 365 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and certifying that, as of the date thereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case during such period the Term Borrower shall not be required to make such prepayment to the extent of the amount set forth in such certificate; provided further that any such Net Cash Proceeds that are not so reinvested by the end of such period shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans promptly upon the expiration of such period (and, after the Term Loans shall have been repaid in full, the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of any remaining Net Cash Proceeds).

Not later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Insurance/Condemnation Event, the Term Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Term Borrower may, prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent to the effect that the Parent intends to cause such Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be reinvested in long-term assets that are used or useful in the business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including through the repair, restoration or replacement of the damaged, destroyed or condemned assets) on or prior to the date that is 365 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment with respect to any such reinvestment within such 365-day period, the date, if later, that is 180 days after the date of such commitment), and certifying that, as of the date thereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case during such period the Term Borrower shall not be required to make such prepayment to the extent of the amount set forth in such certificate; provided further that any such Net Cash Proceeds that are not so reinvested by the end of such period shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans promptly upon the expiration of such period (and, after the Term Loans shall have been repaid in full, the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of any remaining Net Cash Proceeds).

Not later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 8.1), the Term Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to

100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (and, after the Term Loans shall have been repaid in full, the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of any remaining Net Cash Proceeds).

In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2014), the Term Borrower shall, not later than 90 days after the end of such Fiscal Year, prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) 50% (or (A) 25% if the Secured Leverage Ratio as of the end of such Fiscal Year shall have been equal to or less than 3.00:1.00 but greater than 2.00:1.00 or (B) 0% if the Secured Leverage Ratio as of the end of such Fiscal Year shall have been equal to or less than 2.00:1.00) of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans voluntarily prepaid by the Term Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 during such Fiscal Year, to the extent such prepayments have been made with Internally Generated Cash.

If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments at such time, the LC Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 in an amount equal to 105% of such excess. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Financial Letters of Credit exceeds the Financial Letter of Credit Sublimit, the LC Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 in an amount equal to 105% of such excess.

Prior to or concurrently with any mandatory prepayment or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.9, the Term Borrower (i) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such prepayment or reduction and (ii) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent setting forth the calculation of the amount of the applicable prepayment or reduction. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid (with such specification to be in accordance with Section 2.9(g)), or the effective date and the amount of any such reduction, as applicable, and may be given by telephone or in writing (and, if given by telephone, shall promptly be confirmed in writing). Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Term Lenders of the details thereof. Each mandatory prepayment of any Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Lenders holding such Term Loans in accordance with their applicable Ratable Portions.

Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be applied to reduce the subsequent Installments to be made pursuant to Section 2.6 with respect to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis as directed by the Term Borrower (or, if the Term Borrower does not provide any directions, in accordance with the principal amounts of such Installments).

Rate of Interest. All Term Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than Reimbursement Obligations) shall bear interest, in the case of Term Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Term Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:

if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the interest rate otherwise in effect (other than the interest rate applicable to Reimbursement Obligations as set forth in Section 2.4(h)) shall, upon the election of the Requisite Term Lenders (except if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(a) or (f), in which case such increase shall be immediate) increase 2.00% per annum.

Additional Reserve Requirements. The Term Borrower shall pay to each Term Lender, (i) as long as such Term 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Term Loan by such Term Lender (as determined by such Term Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the

funding of the Eurodollar Rate 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 Term Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Term Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Term Loan provided the Term Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Term Lender. If a Term Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

The Term Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Term Loans of each Term Lender in accordance with such Term Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) specifying, in each case, (A) the amount and Type of Term Loans being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time during which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Term Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Term Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Term Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Letter of Credit Commitment Fees. The LC Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Lender (except for any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee (the “Letter of Credit Commitment Fee”), accruing at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% on the actual daily amount by which the Letter of Credit Facility Commitment of such LC Lender exceeds such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion of the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears (i) on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2014) and (ii) on the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date.

Letter of Credit Fees. The LC Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee of 0.25% per annum (“Fronting Fees”) of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter), payable in arrears on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2014) and (B) on the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date;

to the Administrative Agent for the account and ratable benefit of the LC Lenders (except for any Defaulting Lender that has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuers pursuant to Section 2.4(m)), with respect to each Letter of Credit (but excluding that portion of any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized by the LC Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(m) as a result of any Defaulting Lender), a fee (the “Letter of Credit Participation Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to (A) 4.50% if such Letter of Credit is a Financial Letter of Credit and (B) 2.25% if such Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit, in each case on the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (in any case, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter), payable in arrears (x) on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2014) and (y) on the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased, upon the election of the Requisite LC Lenders (except if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(a) or (f), in which case such increase shall be immediate), by 2.00% per annum and shall be payable on demand; and

to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the Issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of Issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

The Term Borrower agrees to pay on the Effective Date to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Term Lender, a closing fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of such Term Lender’s Term Commitment (determined before giving effect to any reduction thereof on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.1).

Additional Fees. The Parent has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letters and as may otherwise have been separately agreed upon.

Payment of Fees to LC Lenders. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to pay to each LC Lender such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Participation Fee, as applicable, received by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, promptly following receipt of each of the same from (and only to the extent each such fee is received from) the LC Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that (i) the Ratable Portion of any Letter of Credit Commitment Fee shall be calculated without giving effect to the Letter of Credit Facility Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and (ii) any Letter of Credit Participation Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which neither such Defaulting Lender nor the LC Borrower has provided cash collateral satisfactory to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(m) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other LC Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Ratable Portions allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuer for its own account.

Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) or (f) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.14(c) or (d) shall be paid only to any affected Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) to be received on the next Business Day.

All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (in each case calculated to include the first day but exclude the last day) (i) over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of interest accruing at the Base Rate when the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate, and (ii) over a year of 360 days at all other times. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three Business Days, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the LC Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of the Term Loans) then due and payable, and second, as the LC Borrower so designates. All payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation (other than Obligations in respect of the Term Loans) shall be allocated among such of the LC Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the LC Lenders, subject to Section 2.20, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions (calculated (i) in the case of principal payments, without giving effect to the LC Exposure of any Defaulting Lender that has not fully funded its share of the Letter of Credit Obligations being repaid and (ii) in the case of fee payments, without giving effect to the LC

Exposure of any Defaulting Lender for the amount of Letter of Credit Participation Fees or Letter of Credit Commitment Fees payable in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations for which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its share of the Letter of Credit Obligations) and as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.12(d) and Section 2.20(a)(iv).

all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Term Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Term Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Term Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Term Lender or the Term Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations (other than Letter of Credit Obligations) then due and payable, and third, as the Term Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term Lender in accordance with such Term Lender’s Ratable Portion thereof; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation (other than Letter of Credit Obligations) shall be allocated among such of the Term Lenders as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Term Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any net proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether from a Loan Party’s sale of Collateral or the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s receipt of proceeds from any exercise of remedies, and each Borrower and each Lender agrees that, during such time, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations (other than payments from the Loan Parties of accrued interest and fees and scheduled principal payments) and all proceeds of Collateral, in the following order (subject to an adjustments under Section 2.20(a)(ii)):

first, to pay Reimbursement Obligations owed to any Issuer for which such Issuer has not then been reimbursed by any LC Lender or the LC Borrower;

second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash management services) then due to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent;

third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash management services) then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Reimbursement Obligations;

sixth, to pay Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations in respect of Treasury Management Obligations and Hedging Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3, ratably to such Reimbursement Obligations, Treasury Management Obligations, Hedging Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts;

seventh, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Term Loans (ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans);

eighth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Term Loans ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans; and

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses first through ninth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses.

If any Secured Party collects or receives any amounts or obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Obligations to which it is not entitled under or in excess of the amount it would be entitled under this Section 2.13(f) if such payment had been received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such Secured Party shall hold the same in trust for the applicable Secured Parties entitled thereto and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the account of such Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance this Section 2.13(f), in each case until the prior payment in full in cash of the applicable Obligations of such Secured Parties.

Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Term Borrower.

Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. If (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Term Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately

reflect the cost to the Term Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Loans for such Interest Period or calendar quarter, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Term Borrower and the Term Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Term Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Term Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Term Borrower that the Requisite Term Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, which notice shall be given promptly following such determination. Thereafter, the Term Borrower’s right to request, and the Term Lenders’ obligations, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be restored.

Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or an Issuer determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender or such Issuer with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) subject any Lender or any Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuer in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 2.16, then the applicable Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or such Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be, together with supporting documents, submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in such certificate shall be retroactive, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuer pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date of such certificate. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Term Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Term Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Term Lender to the Term Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Term Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Term Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as

part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Term Borrower shall immediately convert each such Term Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Term Lender gives notice under this Section 2.14(d), such Term Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Term Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Term Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Term Lender. The Term Borrower’s right to request, and such Term Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Term Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, the Term Borrower shall compensate each Term Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Term Lender to fund or maintain such Term Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loan to the Term Borrower, but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin or other profit on the relevant Loans) that such Term Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Term Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11, (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid by reason of a reduction in Term Commitments on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above, (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Term Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof, or (v) as a consequence of the assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Term Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 11.1(c). The Term Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Term Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Term Lender, absent manifest error.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and the Term Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

If at any time any Lender or any Issuer determines that (a) the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or

not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuer’s (or any Person controlling such Lender’s or such Issuer’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or such Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or such Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and a calculation for such amount shall be submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in any such certificate shall be retroactive, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any reduction in rates of return with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of each such certificate. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and the Term Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.15 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

All payments by a Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, hereunder or under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto except pursuant to a Requirement of Law (which for this purpose shall include FATCA as defined in clause (f) below). If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent then, (i) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (ii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made. In addition, in the case of any taxes, excluding in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (i) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, (ii) any U.S. withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under

laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender that became a Lender by assignment or transfer after the Effective Date, the effective date of such assignment or transfer, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), (iii) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (iv) any taxes attributable to a failure to comply with clause (e) below or (v) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) or Other Taxes (as defined below), the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

In addition, each Borrower shall pay any stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) withheld by such Borrower or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and the Term Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and

executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clause (f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form or other document described in clause (e) or (f) above, as applicable (other than if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form is not required under clause (f) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under clause (a) or (c) above with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has received a payment from or has been indemnified by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, which refund in solely the good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Borrower, it shall notify such Borrower of such receipt and shall, within 30 days after the later of the receipt of a written request by such Borrower or the receipt of such refund (unless such Lender reasonably expects that is shall be required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority), pay the amount of such refund to such Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and taxes imposed on the Lender or Administrative Agent with respect to such amounts, without interest thereon and subject to Section 11.6; provided, however, that such Borrower agrees to return such refund to such Lender or the Administrative Agent

within 30 days after receipt of written notice in the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will a Lender or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the Lender or Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender or Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing contained in this Section 2.16 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available to either Borrower any Tax Return or any other document containing information that it deems to be confidential.

If (a)(i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) or 2.15, (ii) it becomes illegal for any Term Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Term Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d), (iii) either Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 that is attributable to a particular Lender, or (iv) any LC Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, (i) if such Lender is a Term Lender, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Term Loans exceeds the effective average rate of interest payable to the Requisite Term Lenders and (ii) if such Lender is an LC Lender, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of the Letter of Credit Commitment Fees and/or Letter of Credit Participation Fees payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the effective average Letter of Credit fees payable to the Requisite LC Lenders, and (c) in the case of clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above, (i) if such Lender is a Term Lender, Term Lenders holding at least 75% of the outstanding Term Loans are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings and (ii) if such Lender is an LC Lender, LC Lenders holding at least 75% of the Letter of Credit Exposure are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the applicable Borrower may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the notification to the applicable Borrower of any applicable event described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that such Borrower intends to make such substitution. A substitute financial institution (x) must be an Eligible Assignee and (y) if not already a Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a substitute LC Lender, each Issuer; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the applicable Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the applicable Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent such Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the applicable Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making

such claims. If the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity meets the conditions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, at par plus accrued interest and Letter of Credit fees, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and such substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, its Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (that, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the applicable Borrower in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date to such Affected Lender), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become an “LC Lender” or “Term Lender,” as applicable, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having, in the case of an LC Lender, a Letter of Credit Facility Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Letter of Credit Facility Commitment, assumed by it and such Letter of Credit Facility Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated and holding, in the case of a Term Lender, the amount of Term Loans held by the Affected Lender; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. Each Affected Lender shall execute an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such transfer; provided, however, that the failure of the Affected Lender to execute such Assignment and Acceptance shall not invalidate such assignment, and such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed upon receipt by such Affected Lender of such payment in full.

The Term Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) to all the Term Lenders, on the same terms and conditions to each Term Lender, to make one or more Extension Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Term Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Extension Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Term Loans and Term Commitments of the Term Lenders that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Term Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Lender, only with respect to such Term Lender’s Term Loans and Term Commitments as to which such Term Lender’s acceptance has been made.

An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Parent, the Term Borrower, each applicable Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) the conditions set forth in Section

3.2(b) shall have been satisfied or waived with respect to such Extension Permitted Amendment before and after giving effect to such Extension Permitted Amendment and (ii) the Parent and the Term Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.18, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Term Loans and/or Term Commitments of the Extending Lenders as a new “Class” of term loans and/or term loan commitments hereunder.

Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuer, the LC Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

Grant of Security Interest. All cash collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent (including, in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 9.3, the Cash Collateral Account). To the extent provided by the LC Borrower, the LC Borrower, and to the extent provided by any LC Lender, such LC Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Issuers and the LC Lenders, and agrees to maintain a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the LC Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly (but in any event within 5 Business Days) after demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.4, Section 2.5, Section 2.9, Section 2.13, Section 2.20, or Section 9.3 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which such cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

Release. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.2(b)(iv)) or (ii) the Collateral Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, that (x) cash collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.19 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.13(e) and (f), and (y) the Person providing cash collateral and the Issuer may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

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

Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.1.

Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to an Issuer hereunder;

third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuer, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit;

fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other LC Lenders or the Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any LC Lender or any Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

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

sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Reimbursement Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the LC Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Participation Fees as provided in Section 2.12(b)(ii).

Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4, the “Ratable Portion” of each Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the LC Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations of that LC Lender.

Defaulting Lender Cure. If the LC Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that LC Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the LC Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Portions (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) above), whereupon that LC Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the LC Borrower while that LC Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to LC Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Replacement of Defaulting Lenders. If any LC Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such LC Lender to be replaced in accordance with Section 2.17.

(d) From time to time prior to the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date, the LC Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent request one or more increases to the existing Letter of Credit Facility Commitments (any such increase, a “Letter of Credit Commitment Increase” and, any additional Letter of Credit Facility Commitments provided pursuant to any Letter of Credit Commitment Increase, a “New Letter of Credit Facility Commitment”), by an amount (i) not in excess of (x) $100,000,000.00 in the aggregate for all New Letter of Credit Facility Commitments obtained before December 31, 2014 and (y) $200,000,000 in the aggregate for all New Letter of Credit Facility Commitments obtained since the Effective Date and (ii) not less than $25,000,000.00 with respect to the aggregate New Letter of Credit Facility Commitments obtained for any individual Letter of Credit Commitment Increase (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent).

of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not already covered by a collective bargaining agreement set forth on Schedule 4.15, as of the Effective Date no union representation question exists with respect to such employees and, to the knowledge of either Borrower, no union organization activity is taking place as of the Effective Date.

Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which could cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parent and the Term Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to procure and deliver, but shall nevertheless be unable to deliver on the Effective Date the Control Agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, such failure shall not give rise to a Default under this Section 7.9(b), but the Borrowers shall nonetheless be required to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 7.15.

The Parent and the Term Borrower shall reserve proceeds of the Term Loans and the Second Lien Notes in an aggregate amount equal to the amount required to be paid by the Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the exercise of the purchase option to acquire 100% of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of the Persons that own the NO 102 in accordance with the terms of such purchase option.

The Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain for the Administrative Agent and its agents, employees, consultants and contractors the right, upon reasonable notice to Parent, to enter into or on to the facilities or Mortgaged Vessels currently owned, leased, operated or used by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to perform such tests on such property as are reasonably necessary to conduct such a review and/or investigation. Any such investigation of any property shall be conducted, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parent and the Administrative Agent, during normal business hours and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations at any such property or Mortgaged Vessel or to cause any damage or loss at such property or Mortgaged Vessel. The Parent and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any report of any investigation conducted at the request of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection will be obtained and shall be used by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purposes of the Lenders’ internal credit decisions, to monitor the Term Loans and Letter of Credit Exposure and to protect the Lenders’ security interests created by the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree any such report will be kept confidential by them to the extent permitted by law except as provided in the following sentence. The Administrative Agent agrees to deliver a copy of any such report to the Parent with the understanding that the Parent acknowledges and agrees that (i) it will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender from any costs, losses or liabilities relating to the Parent’s use of or reliance on such report, (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representation or warranty with respect to such report, and (iii) by delivering such report to the Parent, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is requiring or recommending the implementation of any suggestions or recommendations contained in such report.

Promptly after a Responsible Officer of either Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, such Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent in writing and in reasonable detail of (i) any Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants required to be reported by the Parent or its Subsidiaries, to any Governmental Authorities under any applicable Environmental Laws and which could reasonably be expected to have Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00, (ii) any and all written communications with respect to any pending or threatened claims under Environmental Law in each such case which, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of giving rise to Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00, (iii) any Remedial Action performed by the Parent or any other Person in response to (x) any Contaminants on, under or about any property, the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00, or (y) any other Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00 that could result in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00, (iv) discovery by the Parent or its Subsidiaries of any occurrence or condition on any material property that could cause the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ interest in any such property to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws or Environmental Liens, and (v) any written request for information from any Governmental Authority that fairly suggests such Governmental Authority is investigating whether the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may be potentially responsible for a Release or threatened Release of Contaminants which has a reasonable possibility of giving rise to Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00.

The Parent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any proposed acquisition of Stock, assets, or property by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to expose the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00 and (ii) any proposed action to be taken by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to commence manufacturing, industrial or other similar operations that could reasonably be expected to subject the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to additional Environmental Laws, that are materially different from the Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

The Parent shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 7.10.

To the extent required by Environmental Laws or Governmental Authorities under applicable Environmental Laws, the Parent shall promptly take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries promptly to take, any and all necessary Remedial Action in connection with the presence, handling, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on, under or affecting any property in order to comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and Governmental Authorizations. In the event the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries undertakes any Remedial Action with respect to the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on or affecting any property, the Parent or any of its

Subsidiaries shall conduct and complete such Remedial Action in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and in material accordance with the applicable policies, orders and directives of all relevant Governmental Authorities except when, and only to the extent that, the Parent or any such Subsidiaries’ liability for such presence, handling, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants is being contested in good faith by Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries. In the event the Parent fails to take required actions to address such Release or threatened Release of Contaminants or to address a violation of or liability under Environmental Law, the Administrative Agent may, upon providing the Parent with 5 Business Days’ prior written notice, enter the property and, at the Parent’s sole expense, perform whatever action the Administrative Agent reasonably deems prudent to rectify the situation.

To the extent not delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the Effective Date, the Borrowers agree to do promptly each of the following:

execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such amendments to the Collateral Documents or enter into such new Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected first-priority security interest in the Stock and Stock Equivalents and other debt Securities of any Subsidiary that are owned by the Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor (it being understood that such actions shall be required in the United States of America and, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, any other jurisdiction);

if any Loan Party acquires any marine vessel with a Fair Market Value in excess of $5,000,000.00 (other than a marine vessel acquired with Indebtedness permitted by Section 8.1(d), (l) or (m)), then such Loan Party shall, within 20 Business Days of such acquisition, execute and deliver such mortgages and other security instruments as shall be necessary to cause such vessel to become a Mortgaged Vessel subject to a perfected first-priority security interest;

if the Fair Market Value of any marine vessel owned by any Loan Party (other than a marine vessel acquired or improved with Indebtedness permitted by Section 8.1(d), (l) or (m)) increases to an amount in excess of $5,000,000.00 because of improvements to such marine vessel, then such Loan Party shall, within 20 Business Days of a Responsible Officer of the Parent learning of such increase in Fair Market Value, execute and deliver such mortgages and other security instruments as shall be necessary to cause such vessel to become a Mortgaged Vessel subject to a perfected first-priority security interest; and

if requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent legal opinions relating to the matters described above, which opinions shall be in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided that such legal opinions shall be no broader in form or scope than the legal opinions delivered on the Effective Date.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (a) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare that all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and Term Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Term Lender to make any

Term Loan and each Issuer to Issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (b) may and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Term Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Term Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, if, on or after the 90^th day after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Requisite Lenders have not directed the Administrative Agent to take the actions set forth in clause (a) or (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, then either the Requisite Term Lenders or the Requisite LC Lenders shall be entitled to so direct the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) with respect to either Borrower, (x) the Term Commitments of each Term Lender to make Term Loans and the commitments of each LC Lender and Issuer to Issue or participate in Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Term Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers. In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no Term Lender shall have any right to exercise, or direct the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising, any right or remedy arising or available hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default if the only such Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing is a Specified LC Lender Event of Default and the Requisite LC Lenders have not declared all Letter of Credit Obligations to be immediately due and payable and all outstanding Letter of Credit Facility Commitments to be immediately terminated (and the Requisite LC Lenders shall be entitled to declare all Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, terminate all outstanding Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and Term Commitments and direct the Administrative Agent to exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified LC Lender Event of Default), and (b) no LC Lender shall have any right to exercise, or direct the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising, any right or remedy arising or available hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default if the only such Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing is a Specified Term Lender Event of Default and the Requisite Term Lenders have not declared all Term Loans to be immediately due and payable and all outstanding Term Commitments to be immediately terminated (and the Requisite Term Lenders shall be entitled to declare all Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, terminate all outstanding Term Commitments and Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and direct the Administrative Agent to exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law upon the

occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Term Lender Event of Default).

The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account with respect to Letters of Credit (and while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or after the acceleration of the Obligations), apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the LC Borrower to the Issuers or Lenders in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints CA CIB (i) to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (ii) to act on behalf of each Lender, each Issuer and the other Secured Parties as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent: (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Requisite Lenders or, if applicable, the Requisite Term Lenders or Requisite LC Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders, Term Lenders or LC Lenders, as applicable, as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and (iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Affiliates of the foregoing in any capacity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (A) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders or, if applicable, the Requisite Term Lenders or Requisite LC Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders, Term Lenders or LC Lenders, as applicable, as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 and 9.2) or (B) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuer.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (u) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (w) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (x) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (y) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

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

The Person serving as each 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 such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as the Agents hereunder in such Person’s individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it 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 any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion (determined at the time such indemnity is made) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or such Issuer’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or each Issuer as applicable, promptly upon demand for its Ratable Portion (determined at the time such reimbursement is made) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered

or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any all expenses incurred.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring 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 on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint

a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Collateral 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 Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such other proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents, (ii) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries,

(iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably consents, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Collateral Agent’s release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordination) of any Lien held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any of the following:

all of the Collateral, upon termination or expiration of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and Term Commitments and payment in full of all Term Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations, including the cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit Exposure to the extent required under this Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claims has been asserted, any Treasury Management Obligations and any Hedging Obligations) that the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to which cash collateral has been deposited or a back-up letter of credit has been issued, in either case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuers);

any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(b), (d)(ii), (d)(iii) or (l) or any refinancings thereof permitted under Section 8.2(e); and

if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement), any Collateral sold or disposed of by a Loan Party and/or the guaranty of any Subsidiary Guarantor which has been voluntarily sold or disposed of by a Loan Party or otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably consents, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Administrative Agent’s release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Pledge and Security Agreement if such release is permitted by Section 11.1(a)(viii). Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably consents to the Collateral Agent’s execution, delivery and filing of such termination and partial release statements and such other things as are necessary to release Liens and guaranties to be released pursuant to this Section 10.7 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into intercreditor arrangements with holders of Permitted Second Lien Debt. A copy of any documents evidencing such intercreditor arrangements will be made available to each Secured Party upon request. Each Secured Party (by receiving the benefits thereunder) acknowledges and agrees to the terms of such intercreditor arrangements and agrees that the terms thereof shall be binding on such Secured Party and its successors and assigns as if it were a party thereto.

The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Obligation that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Collateral Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Collateral Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Collateral Documents and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Collateral Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Collateral Documents, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Lenders or, if applicable, the Requisite Term Lenders or Requisite LC Lenders (or such other group of the Lenders, Term Lenders or LC Lenders, as applicable, as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Letter of Credit Facility Commitment and/or Term Commitment and its own interest in the Term Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under

Treasury Management Agreements and Hedging Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Secured Party, as the case may be.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agent, the Arrangers or the Bookrunners 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, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or an Issuer hereunder.

Except as provided in Section 2.18 and Section 2.21, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of any amendment, by the Borrowers, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent with the consent thereof), do any of the following:

waive any condition specified in Section 3.1 or 3.2(b), except with respect to a condition based upon another provision hereof, the waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of the conditions specified in Section 3.1, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3;

increase the Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Term Commitment of such Lender;

extend the scheduled final maturity of any Term Loan owing to such Term Lender or any Reimbursement Obligation payable to such LC Lender, or waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the payment or reduction of principal of any such Term Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or for the reduction of such Lender’s Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Term Commitment, as the case may be;

reduce the principal amount of any Term Loan owing to such Lender or any Reimbursement Obligation payable to such LC Lender (in each case, other than by the payment or prepayment thereof);

reduce the rate or amount of interest on any Term Loan outstanding to such Term Lender or any Reimbursement Obligations outstanding or any fee payable hereunder to such LC Lender; provided, however, that (A) only the consent of the Requisite LC Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the LC Borrower to pay interest on the Letter of Credit Obligations or Letter of Credit Participation Fees at the default rate set forth in Section 2.4(h) and Section 2.12(b)(ii), respectively, and (B) only the consent of the Requisite Term Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Term Borrower to pay interest on the Obligations in respect of the Term Loans at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(c);

postpone any scheduled date fixed for payment of such interest or fees owing to such Lender;

(x) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as among the Lenders or (y) change the aggregate Ratable Portions of Lenders required for any or all Lenders to take any action hereunder;

release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as provided in Section 10.7(b) or release any Borrower from its payment obligation to such Lender under this Agreement or the Notes owing to such Lender (if any) or release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Pledge and Security Agreement except, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Term Borrower) only, in connection with the sale or other disposition of such Subsidiary Guarantor (or all or substantially all of the assets thereof) permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any Immaterial Guarantor may be released with the consent of the Administrative Agent; or

amend Section 2.13(e) or (f), Section 10.7(b), this Section 11.1, the sharing provisions of Section 11.7 or the definitions of the terms “Requisite Lenders”, “Requisite LC Lenders”, “Requisite Term Lenders” or “Ratable Portion”; and

provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing: (t) only the consent of the Requisite LC Lenders shall be required to waive, amend or modify Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 6.1(e), Section 6.2(b), Section 6.11 or Section 8.14 or the definitions referenced therein to the extent solely affecting such Section or to waive any Specified LC Lender Event of Default, (u) only the consent of the Requisite Term Lenders shall be required to waive, amend or modify Section 5.4 or the definitions referenced therein to the extent solely affecting such Section or to waive any Specified Term Lender Event of Default, (v) no amendment shall be made to this clause (a) without the prior written consent of each Lender, (w) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(g), affect the grant or nature of such option or the right or duties of such

Special Purpose Vehicle hereunder, (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by such Issuer, affect the rights or duties of any Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (z) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. 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 affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lender), except that (x) the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1(c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrowers’ request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments, Term Commitments and applicable Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all applicable Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto and other amounts due and payable hereunder through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and the Assignee shall pay any processing and recordation fee (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that the failure to execute such Assignment and Acceptance by the Non-Consenting Lender shall not invalidate such assignment, and such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed upon receipt by such Non-Consenting Lender of the proceeds of such sale and acceptance.

Without limiting Section 7.11, the Secured Parties agree that the Administrative Agent may release the Subsidiary Guarantor owning the DLV 2000 from its obligations under the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other Collateral Documents concurrently with the incurrence by such Subsidiary Guarantor of DLV 2000 Permitted Debt.

Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) below or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) below (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 clause (d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Letter of Credit Facility Commitment, Term Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Term Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitment (which for this purpose includes Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, the Term Commitment or if the Term Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 unless the Administrative Agent and, in the case of assignments of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments or Letter of Credit Obligations, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the LC Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans (or Term Commitment) or the Letter of Credit Facility Commitment.

Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) above and, in addition, in the case of assignments of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments or Letter of Credit Obligations only: (A) the consent of the LC Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to an LC Lender, an Affiliate of an LC Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to an LC Lender; provided that the LC Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments of any Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Letter of Credit Obligations; and (C) the consent of each Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00 (except in the case of assignments of the Term Commitments or Term Loans made by or to Goldman Sachs), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to either Borrower or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. In the case of an assignment of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Letter of Credit Obligations only, no such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons.

No Assignment to Disqualified Term Lenders. In the case of an assignment of a Term Commitment or Term Loans only, no such assignment shall

be made to any Disqualified Term Lender. Upon any Term Lender’s written request to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Term Lender the list of the Disqualified Term Lenders.

Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Ratable Portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 11.4 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 clause (d) below.

Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and Term Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the

Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any LC Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 Letter of Credit Facility Commitment, Term Commitment and/or the Term 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 Lenders and the Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent 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. 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.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would (x) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such Participant under the Loan Documents, to which such Participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation, (y) increase the commitment applicable to such Participant or (z) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral or releasing any Guarantor that is not an Immaterial Guarantor other than pursuant to an exception described in Section 11.1(a)(viii). Subject to clause (e) below, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.7 as though it were a Lender.

Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14(c), 2.15 and 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless, in the case of a participation of a Letter of Credit Facility Commitment or Letter of Credit Obligations, the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 as if it were a Lender which received its interest pursuant to an assignment but only if the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; 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.

In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Term Loan that such Term Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Term Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Term Loans are made) the obligation of such Term Lender to make such Term Loans thereunder, provided, however, that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Term Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Term Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Term Loans) to (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities or any other holder of a Lender’s debt obligations or representative of such holder or (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above, in each case without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree 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 debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (g) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).

Any Issuer may, with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the LC Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other LC Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the LC Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such LC Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be an LC Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2(h), then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

Term Loan Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Term Borrower may repurchase outstanding Term Loans, and each Term Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Term Borrower, in each case, on the following basis:

Term Loan Repurchase Auctions. The Term Borrower may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans, provided that (1) the Term Borrower delivers a notice of such Auction to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Term Lenders) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed commencement date of such Auction, which notice shall specify (x) the dates on which such Auction will commence and conclude, (y) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans that the Term Borrower desires to repurchase in such Auction and (z) the range of discounts to par at which the Term Borrower would be willing to repurchase the Term Loans, (2) the maximum dollar amount of such Auction shall be no less than an aggregate $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (3) such Auction shall be open for at least two Business Days after the date of the commencement thereof, (4) such Auction shall be open for participation by all the Term Lenders on a ratable basis, (5) a Term Lender that elects to participate in such Auction will be permitted to tender for repurchase all or a portion of such Term Lender’s Term Loans, (6) each repurchase of Term Loans shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights of the assigning Term Lender hereunder with respect thereto, (7) at the time of the commencement and conclusion of such Auction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (8) such Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish, so long as such procedures are consistent with this Section 11.2(i) and are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Term Borrower. In connection with any Auction, the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent may request one or more certificates of a Responsible Officer of the Parent and the Term Borrower as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (7) above and in Section 11.2(i)(ii).

Representation as to MNPI. With respect to all Auctions commenced by the Term Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.2(i), the Parent and the Term Borrower shall represent that, as of the date of commencement of such Auction and the date of the conclusion thereof, the Parent and the Term Borrower are not aware of any information regarding the Parent and the Subsidiaries, their respective assets or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its Obligations, in each case, that (1) would reasonably be expected to be material to a decision by any Term Lender to participate in such Auction or to sell, assign and transfer its Term Loans pursuant thereto and (2) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders (other than, as to any Term Lender, due solely to such Term Lender’s election not to receive any MNPI).

Concerning the Repurchased Term Loans. Repurchases by the Term Borrower of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 11.2(i) shall not constitute voluntary prepayments for purposes of Section 2.6 or 2.8. The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans repurchased by the Term Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.2(i) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent Installments to be paid pursuant to Section 2.6 with respect to the Term Loans in an inverse order of maturity. Upon the repurchase by the Term Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.2(i) of any Term Loans, such Term Loans shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Term Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to (1) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Term Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (3) the determination of Requisite Lenders or Requisite Term Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any cancellation of the Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 11.2(i). Any payment made by the Term Borrower in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 11.2(i) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13, Section 2.14(e) or Section 11.7. Failure by the Term Borrower to make any payment to a Term Lender required to be made in consideration of a repurchase of Term Loans permitted by this Section 11.2(i) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a). Each Term Lender shall, to the extent that its Term Loans shall have been repurchased and assigned to the Term Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.2(i), relinquish its rights in respect thereof. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.2(i), the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any repurchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 11.2(i).

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable external audit, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and

investigation expenses and all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents, including any third party consultant engaged by the Administrative Agent to evaluate the Parent and its Subsidiaries) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (which audit expenses shall be reimbursed only if conducted when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III, any Loan Document or any proposal letter or engagement letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Term Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Term Loans and Letters of Credit, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which any Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation under clauses (vi) and (vii) hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). The LC Borrower also agrees upon demand to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder. The Borrowers also jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay, or reimburse FTI Consulting, Inc. for, its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its ongoing periodic financial review (including limited field-level reviews) of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. The Borrowers also jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay, or reimburse Goldman Sachs for, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Goldman Sachs’s counsel, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP) incurred by Goldman Sachs in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or the marketing or syndication of the Term Facility.

The Borrowers further jointly and severally agree to pay or reimburse each Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by such Agent, such Lenders or Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation under clause (iii) hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable).

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 11.3 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Letter of Credit Facility Commitments and Term Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to and hereby do indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer and each of their respective Related Parties (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III) and each of their respective successors and assigns (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable and customary fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by a Borrower or any of its Affiliates, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the

proceeds of the Term Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to (i) any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or order of an arbitral tribunal and (ii) any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer.

The Borrowers jointly and severally shall and do hereby indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer for, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against any Agent, any Lender and any Issuer for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of service of any complaint or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to an Indemnified Matter, such Indemnitee will notify the Borrowers in writing of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Borrowers will relieve the Borrowers from the obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee only if and only to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the Borrowers of substantial rights and defenses that actually and materially prejudice the Borrowers, and will not in any event relieve the Borrowers from any other obligation or liability that the Borrowers may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than in accordance with the provisions hereof. If

the Borrowers so elect following their acknowledgment of their obligations to indemnify the Indemnitee, or if requested by such Indemnitee, the Borrowers will assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, such Indemnitee reasonably determines in its judgment that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendants in or targets of any such action or proceeding include an Indemnitee and either or both Borrowers and such Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnitees that are different from or in addition to those available to either or both Borrowers, or if the Borrowers fail to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, then such Indemnitee may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Borrowers will pay the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the Borrowers will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) for such Indemnitee in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding the defense of which the Borrowers assume, the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnitee’s own expense.

The Borrowers agree that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The Borrowers agree that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each Affiliate of any of them is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other

indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its respective Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any 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 2.20 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. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

(iii) If any Term Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Term Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or other Obligations in respect of the Term Loans hereunder (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Term Lenders, such Term Lender (each, a “Purchasing Term Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Term Lenders (each, a “Selling Term Lender”) such participations in their Term Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(ii) If any LC Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Letter of Credit Obligations owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or other Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of the Term Loans) hereunder (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the LC Lenders, such LC Lender (each, a “Purchasing LC Lender” and, together with the Purchasing Term Lenders, the “Purchasing Lenders”) shall forthwith purchase from the other LC Lenders (each, a “Selling LC Lender” and, together with the Selling Term Lenders, the “Selling Lenders”) such participations in their Letter of Credit Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing LC Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each applicable

Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

Each Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchasing Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

All notices, demands, requests and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing, or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent, by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic mail), and addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

if to any Issuer, (i) at its Domestic Lending Office, if such Issuer is a Lender or (ii) otherwise, at the Domestic Lending Office of any Lender Affiliated therewith or, in each case at any other address set forth in a notice sent to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; and

or at such other address as shall be notified in writing (x) in the case of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to the other parties and (y) in the case of all other parties, to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall be effective upon personal delivery (if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service), when deposited in the mails (if sent by mail), or when properly transmitted (if sent by a telecommunications device or through the Internet); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II or X shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise expressly provided hereunder).

Each Public-Side Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public-Side Lender to at all times have selected the “Private-Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of IntraLinks in order to enable such Public-Side Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public-Side Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public-Side Information” portion of IntraLinks and that may contain MNPI. In the event that any Public-Side Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through IntraLinks or otherwise, such Public-Side Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither any Loan Party nor any Agent has any responsibility for such Public-Side Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

No failure on the part of any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 9.2 for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuers from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their respective benefit (solely in their capacity as Issuers) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.6 (subject to the terms of Section 11.7, or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Requisite Lenders (or the Requisite LC Lenders or Requisite Term Lenders, as applicable) shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) above and subject to Section 11.7, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, except that the Agents, Issuers or Lenders may bring legal action or proceedings in other appropriate jurisdictions with respect to the enforcement of its rights with respect to the Collateral. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.

Each Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to J. Ray McDermott Holdings, LLC (at 757 North Eldridge Parkway, Houston, Texas 77079) or such Borrower at its address specified in Section 11.8. Each Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Nothing contained in this Section 11.12 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party in any other jurisdiction.

To the extent that either Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), such Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder.

EACH AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ISSUERS AND EACH BORROWER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of either Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers or any such Person receives payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

The section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto, except when used to reference such section. If a numbered reference to a clause, sub-clause or subsection hereof is immediately followed by a reference in

parenthesis to the title of a section hereof containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection, the reference is only to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the section generally. If a numbered reference to a section hereof is immediately followed by a reference in parenthesis to a section hereof, the title reference shall govern in case of direct conflict.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

This Agreement, together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, embodies the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (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, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Borrower and its obligations or (C) any Special Purpose Vehicle that is a grantee of any option described in Section 11.2(g) or to any

pledgee referred to in Section 11.2(f) or 11.2(g), (vii) with the consent of the Borrowers or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.18 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.18 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.

If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing any judgment or award in any court, or for making or filing a claim or proof, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency in New York, New York on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from it to any Agent or Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or award in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Agent or Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Agent or Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or Lender against such loss, and if the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, such Agent or Lender shall remit such excess to the applicable Borrower.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

(b) If and to the extent required in order for the Obligations of any Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable Laws relating to the insolvency or winding up of debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such Laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under Section 2.2.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrowers’ Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 2.1(b) without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations, subject to the provisions of clause (e) below, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrowers may be free from any Obligations.

(e) No payment made by any Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from any Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrowers’ Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrowers’ Obligations), remain liable for the Borrowers’ Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrowers’ Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Hedging Contracts and any Treasury Management Arrangements) are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or otherwise secured in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement and all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated or have expired.

5.2. Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Grantor or its property:

(a) If such payment is made by any Borrower or from its property, then, if and to the extent such payment is made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan or other extension of credit made to the Borrowers or a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall not be entitled (i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Grantor or (ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including any other Grantor or its property.

(b) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, (i) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Borrowers and (ii) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor that has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) If and whenever (after payment in full of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Grantor against any other Grantor under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), such Grantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Grantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Grantor as set forth in this Section 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Collateral

Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. Such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the Grantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Grantor, then (after payment in full of the Obligations) the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Grantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Grantors or of the Grantors generally, an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Collateral Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Collateral Agent.

(d) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Grantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. Until payment in full of the Obligations, no Grantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Grantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Collateral Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Grantor, it shall be held by such Grantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.

(e) The obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.

(f) Each Grantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Grantor, but (i) the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right, except as provided in Section 2.2(c).

(g) All references to “payment in full of the Obligations” in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to refer to such payment after the Commitments have expired or are terminated.

5.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrowers’ Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrowers’ Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Borrowers’ Obligations continued, and the Borrowers’ Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the parties thereto may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrowers’ Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrowers’ Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

5.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrowers’ Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrowers’ Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between any of the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrowers’ Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance, not of collection, without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrowers’ Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such Borrower for any of the Borrowers’ Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any

collateral security or guarantee for the Borrowers’ Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

5.5. Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrowers’ Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

5.6. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Collateral Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the office of the Collateral Agent as specified in the Credit Agreement.

5.7. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Section 2 in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.7 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.7, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.15. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2.7 constitute, and this Section 2.7 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(a) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following property, in each case, wherever located and whether now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of such Grantor’s Obligations:

(vi) all Commercial Tort Claims, including those from time to time specifically described on Schedule 4.11;

(xvi) all Investment Property (it being understood that, to the extent such Investment Property constitutes shares issued by a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, each Grantor holding such Investment Property hereby mortgages by way of first legal mortgage its right, title and interest in such Investment Property in favor of the Collateral Agent);

To induce the Agents, the Lenders, and the Issuers to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce (i) the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit thereunder and (ii) the Issuers to issue their respective Letters of Credit thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that:

No effective financing statement, mortgage or other public notice indicating the existence of a Lien with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or as are expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement.

7.3. Perfected First Priority Liens.

Schedule 4.7 sets forth under the heading “Pledged Notes” all of the Pledged Notes owned by any Grantor as of the Effective Date, and all of such Pledged Notes have been duly authorized, authenticated or issued, and delivered and are the legal, valid and

binding obligation of the issuers thereof enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principals of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and constitute all of the issued and outstanding inter-company indebtedness evidenced by an Instrument or Certificated Security of the respective issuers thereof owing to such Grantor.

The operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted does not infringe, constitute a misappropriation of, dilute, or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property of any other Person where the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No claim has been asserted that the use of the Material Intellectual Property does or may infringe upon or constitute a misappropriation of the rights of any other Person.

(d) To such Grantor’s knowledge, no decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator in the United States or outside the United States which would materially limit or cancel the validity or enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual Property. Such Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of Material Intellectual Property that could reasonably be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable including unauthorized trademark uses by third parties and uses which were not supported by the goodwill of the business connected with Trademarks and Trademark Licenses.

(e) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to such Grantor’s knowledge, threatened, on the Effective Date (i) seeking to limit, cancel or invalidate any Owned Intellectual Property, (ii) alleging that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured or sold by such Grantor infringe any patent, trademark, copyright, or misappropriate any trade secret or violate any other right of any other Person, or (iii) alleging that any Material Intellectual Property is being licensed or sublicensed in violation of any intellectual property or any other right of any other Person, in each case, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To such Grantor’s knowledge, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes upon or misappropriates, or is otherwise an unauthorized use of, any Material Intellectual Property. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the termination of any of the Material Intellectual Property.

(f) With respect to each Copyright License, Trademark License, Trade Secret License and Patent License which license constitutes Material Intellectual Property or the loss of which could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) such license is binding and enforceable against the other party thereto; (ii) such license will not cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interests granted herein (including, but not limited to, the enforceability of such rights and interests with respect to each such license), nor will the grant of such rights and interests (or the enforceability thereof) constitute a breach or default under such license or otherwise give the licensor or licensee a right to terminate such license; (iii) such Grantor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such license; (iv) such Grantor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such license, which breach or default has not been cured; and (v) such Grantor is not in breach or default in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice and/or lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such license.

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, such Grantor has made all filings and recordations and paid all required fees and taxes to maintain each and every item of registered Material Intellectual Property in full force and effect and to protect and maintain its interest therein.

(h) To the knowledge of such Grantor, (i) none of the Trade Secrets that constitute Material Intellectual Property have been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of such Grantor for the benefit of any other Person without permission of such Grantor; and (ii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor has misappropriated any Trade Secrets of any other Person in the course of the performance of his or her duties as an employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor where the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Such Grantor has taken commercially reasonable steps to exercise quality control over any licensee of such Grantor’s Trademarks.

7.10. UCC Letters of Credit and UCC Letter of Credit Rights. With respect to any UCC Letters of Credit that are by their terms transferable, each Grantor will, upon receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all issuers and nominated Persons under UCC Letters of Credit in which the Grantor is the beneficiary or assignee to (a) consent to the assignment of such UCC Letter of Credit to the Collateral Agent and (b) agree that, upon receipt of written notice received from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, it shall cause all payments thereunder to be made to the Collateral Account. With respect to any UCC Letters of Credit that are not transferable, each Grantor shall, upon receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the issuer thereof and any nominated Person thereon to the assignment of the proceeds of such released UCC Letter of Credit to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5-114(c) of the New York UCC.

7.11. Commercial Tort Claims. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 4.11 hereto sets forth all Commercial Tort Claims of each Grantor that, to each such Grantor’s knowledge, has a value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000.

7.12. Contracts. No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Contract that is included in the Collateral which has a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent or constitutes Electronic Chattel Paper that is not under the “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the New York UCC) of the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision contained herein to the contrary, the failure of any Grantor to deliver to the Collateral Agent the original Certificated Securities, Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper described on Schedule 4.12 shall not constitute a breach, Default or an Event of Default hereunder.

7.13. Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts. Set forth on Schedule 4.13, as of the Effective Date is a description of all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of the Grantors, including the name of (A) the applicable Grantor, (B) in the case of a Deposit Account, the depository institution and whether such account is a Material Account or an Excluded Account, (C) in the case of a Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary or issuer, as applicable, and whether such account is a Material Account and (D) the jurisdiction where such account is located.

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Secured Parties that, as of the Effective Date and until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms:

Each Grantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is within its control and is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

8.2. Delivery and Control of Instruments, Chattel Paper, Negotiable Documents and Investment Property.

(a) If any of the Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become evidenced or represented by any Instrument, Certificated Security, Negotiable Document or Tangible Chattel Paper, such Instrument (other than checks received in the ordinary course of business), Certificated Security, Negotiable Documents or Tangible Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of such property owned by any Grantor as of the Effective Date and represented in such form shall be delivered on or before the Effective Date.

(b) If any of the Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become Electronic Chattel Paper such Grantor shall ensure that (i) a single authoritative copy shall exist which is unique, identifiable, unalterable (except as provided in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of this paragraph), (ii) such authoritative copy identifies the Collateral Agent as the assignee and is communicated to and maintained by the Collateral Agent or its designee, (iii) copies or revisions that add or change the assignee of the authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of the Collateral Agent, (iv) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy and not the authoritative copy and (v) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

(c) If any Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become an Uncertificated Security, such Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof, if such issuer is a Subsidiary of any Borrower, either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such Uncertificated Security, upon original issue or registration of transfer or (ii) to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such Uncertificated Security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, and such actions shall be taken on or prior to the Effective Date with respect to any such Uncertificated Securities owned as of the Effective Date by any Grantor.

(d) If any of the Collateral is or shall become evidenced or represented by a Commodity Contract having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, such Grantor shall, upon receipt of written request from the Collateral Agent, cause the Commodity Intermediary with respect to such Commodity Contract to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such Commodity Intermediary will apply any value distributed on account of such Commodity Contract as directed by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(e) In addition to and not in lieu of the foregoing, if any issuer of any Investment Property is a Mortgaged Vessel Owning Subsidiary of any Borrower and is organized under the law of, or has its chief executive office in, a jurisdiction outside of the United States, each Grantor shall take such additional actions, including causing such issuer to register the pledge on its books and records, as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, under the laws of such jurisdiction to insure the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership that is a Subsidiary (other than any such Subsidiary that is organized under the law of, or has its chief executive office in, a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and pledged hereunder shall either (a) be represented by a certificate, shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC and shall be governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC, or (b) not be represented by a certificate, in which case, no Grantor shall take any action to cause such interest to be or become a “security” within the meaning of, or to be governed by, Article 8 of the UCC as in effect under the laws of any state having jurisdiction and shall not cause or permit any such limited liability company or limited partnership to “opt in” or to take any other action seeking to establish any interest in such limited liability

company or limited partnership comprising the Collateral as a “security” or to become certificated, in each case, without promptly delivering all certificates evidencing such interest to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.2(a).

(f) In the case of any transferable UCC Letters of Credit in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any issuer thereof to the transfer of such UCC Letters of Credit to the Collateral Agent. In the case of any other UCC Letter of Credit Rights in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the issuer thereof and any nominated Person thereon to the assignment of the proceeds of the related UCC Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 5-114(c) of the New York UCC.

(a) Such Grantor will maintain insurance in accordance with Section 7.5 (Maintenance of Insurance) of the Credit Agreement, and furnish to the Collateral Agent, upon written request, with a copy of such insurance policies.

(b) Such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, (i) on the Effective Date, a certificate dated as of a recent date showing the amount and types of insurance coverage as of such date, (ii) upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent from time to time, reasonably detailed information as to the insurance carried, (iii) promptly following receipt of notice from any insurer, a copy of any notice of cancellation or material change in coverage from that existing on the Effective Date and (iv) forthwith, notice of any cancellation or nonrenewal of coverage by such Grantor. To the extent applicable, the Collateral Agent shall be named as additional insured on all such liability insurance policies of such Grantor and the Collateral Agent shall be named as loss payee on all property and casualty insurance policies of such Grantor.

Such Grantor shall pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such tax, assessment or charge need be paid if (i) the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest therein, or (ii) the failure to so pay and discharge would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall maintain each of the security interests created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest under (x) applicable Laws of the United States and of any state thereof, (y) applicable Laws as required by Section 7.15 of the Credit Agreement and (z) other applicable Laws to the extent otherwise reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement, having at least the priority described in Section 4.3 and shall defend such security interest against any claims and demands of any Persons (other than the Secured Parties), subject to the provisions of Section 8.15.

(b) Such Grantor shall furnish to the Secured Parties from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the assets and property of such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly and duly authorize, execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to be taken, whether in the United States or outside the United States, for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or other similar Laws) in effect in any jurisdiction within or without the United States with respect to the security interests created hereby and in the case of Investment Property and any other relevant Collateral, taking any actions necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) with respect thereto.

8.6. Changes in Locations, Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, etc. Such Grantor shall not, except upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period consented to by the Collateral Agent in writing) to the Collateral Agent and delivery to the Collateral Agent of duly authorized and, where required, executed copies of all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein:

(a) change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 4.4; or

(b) change its legal name, identity or structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement would become misleading.

8.7. Notices. Such Grantor shall advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, of:

(a) any Lien on any of the Collateral (other than any Lien expressly permitted by Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement) which would adversely affect the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and

(b) the occurrence of any other event of which such Grantor becomes aware that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect upon the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby.

(a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock or other ownership certificate (including any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of Pledged Equity Interests in any issuer thereof, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Securities, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and promptly deliver the same to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power or similar instrument of transfer covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer thereof shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations if an Event of Default then exists, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Securities pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, if an Event of Default then exists, and unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be received by such Grantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Subsidiary of any Borrower that is an issuer of Pledged Securities to issue any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities

of any nature of any such issuer (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or any Lien expressly permitted thereon pursuant to Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement, (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (v) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, cause or permit any Subsidiary of any Borrower that is an issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the New York UCC) on the Effective Date to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the New York UCC; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests takes any such action in violation of the provisions in this clause (v) or any non-Subsidiary of any Borrower that is an issuer takes any of the foregoing actions, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable to establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” thereof.

(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged Securities, such Grantor agrees that (i) it shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and shall comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.8(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and 6.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. In addition, each Grantor which is either an issuer or an owner of any Pledged Security hereby consents to the grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Collateral Agent and to the transfer of any Pledged Security to the Collateral Agent or its nominee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a partner, member, shareholder or other equityholder of the issuer of the related Pledged Security.

8.9. Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business, such Grantor shall not, with respect to Receivables that constitute Collateral (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable in any manner that could adversely affect the value thereof.

(a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) shall, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, taking into account the Secured Parties’ interests under this Agreement, (i) continue to use each owned Trademark material to its business, (ii) maintain commercially reasonable quality of products and services offered under such Trademarks and take all necessary steps to ensure that all licensed users of such Trademarks comply with such Grantor’s quality control requirements and maintain reasonable quality, (iii) not adopt or use any mark which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademarks unless the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest in such mark pursuant to this Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and (iv) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way.

(b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees), subject to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, taking into account the Secured Parties’ interests under this Agreement, shall not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent owned by such Grantor material to its business may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public.

(c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees), subject to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, taking into account the Secured Parties’ interests under this Agreement, shall not (and shall not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of Copyrights owned by such Grantor and material to its business may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor shall not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may fall into the public domain.

(d) Such Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows or suspects that any application or registration relating to any Material Intellectual Property owned by a Grantor may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination (including the institution of, or any such determination in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any such Material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(e) Upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Copyright, Patent, Trademark or other Intellectual Property of such Grantor.

(f) Such Grantor, subject to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, taking into account the Secured Parties’ interests under this Agreement, shall take reasonable and necessary steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, to maintain and

pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of Material Intellectual Property, including the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees, and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.

(g) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees), subject to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, taking into account the Secured Parties’ interests under this Agreement, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any of its registered Owned Intellectual Property, or abandon any application or any right to file an application for any patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) In the event that any Material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it learns thereof and sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

(i) Such Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of intellectual property which is not, as of the Effective Date, a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), (i) the provisions of Section 3 shall automatically apply thereto and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and in the case of trademarks, the goodwill of the business connected therewith or symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Collateral.

(j) Such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Owned Intellectual Property and Licensed Intellectual Property and such other materials evidencing, or reports pertaining to, the Owned Intellectual Property and Licensed Intellectual Property as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(a) Such Grantor shall perform and comply in all material respects with all its obligations under the Contracts that constitute Collateral, except where the failure to so perform and comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Such Grantor shall not amend, modify, terminate, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any Contract that constitutes Collateral in any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Such Grantor shall exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may have under each Material Contract that constitutes Collateral (other than any right of termination), except where the failure to so exercise could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Such Grantor shall not permit to become effective in any document creating, governing or providing for any permit, lease, license or Material Contract that constitutes Collateral, a provision that would limit the creation, perfection or scope of, or exercise or enforcement of remedies in connection with, a Lien on such permit, lease, license or Material Contract in favor of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties unless such Grantor believes, in its reasonable judgment, that such prohibition is usual and customary in transactions of such type.

8.12. Commercial Tort Claims. Such Grantor shall advise the Collateral Agent promptly after such Grantor becomes aware of any Commercial Tort Claim held by such Grantor individually or in the aggregate in excess of $1,000,000 and shall promptly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule 4.11 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent listing such Commercial Tort Claim, which supplement shall take effect without further action on the part of any party hereto or beneficiary hereof and shall make such Commercial Tort Claim collateral security subject to this Agreement.

8.13. Deposit Accounts. For each Deposit Account that is a Material Account, such Grantor shall (a) if such Grantor opens a Deposit Account that is reasonably expected to be (or at any time becomes or replaces) a Material Account, promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and (b) pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the depositary bank to comply at any time with instructions from the Collateral Agent to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Deposit Account, without further consent of such Grantor. The Collateral Agent agrees not to provide any such depositary bank any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

8.14. Financial Assets. If any Securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other Investment Property now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee through a Securities Intermediary in a Securities Account that is a Material Account, such Grantor shall (a) if such Grantor opens a Securities Account that is reasonably expected to be (or at any time becomes) a Material Account, promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and (b) pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Securities Intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent to such Securities Intermediary as to such Securities or other Investment Property without further consent of such Grantor. The Collateral Agent agrees not to provide any such Securities Intermediary any such entitlement orders or other instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall in no way be obligated), at its own expense if an Event of Default does not then exist, to make test verifications of the Receivables that are included in the Collateral in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.

(b) Each Grantor hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation and diligently exercise each material right it may have under any Receivable and any Supporting Obligation, in each case, at its own expense. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the Collateral Agent’s request but subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables that are included in the Collateral, including original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts that constitute Collateral

(b) The Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable or Contract that constitutes Collateral of the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may upon written

notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under such Receivables and Contracts directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts that constitutes Collateral to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate and other ownership (or other similar) rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(b): (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights; (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor (where permitted by applicable Laws), any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property to its name or the name of its nominee or agent; and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other

consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) upon any such instruction following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property, including Pledged Securities, directly to the Collateral Agent.

In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall, if requested in writing by the Collateral Agent, be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

9.5. Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by any Borrower and the Collateral Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Section 6.6) constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:

First, to the Collateral Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;

Second, as set forth in Section 2.13(f) (Payments and Computations) of the Credit Agreement.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or its rights under any other applicable Laws or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by applicable Laws referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any Laws now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by applicable Laws, at least ten days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the

Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, and so long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amounts required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by any Secured Party of any rights hereunder.

(c) In the event of any disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall, to the extent commercially reasonable and feasible under the circumstances, supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or other applicable Laws, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof, including, without limitation, to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity

Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, under applicable state securities laws or other applicable Laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment.

9.8. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any outside attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

9.9. Deposit Accounts/Securities Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts subject to control agreements or held with any Secured Party.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

10.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.

10.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable Laws, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral, without the signature of such Grantor, in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent

reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or as “all assets,” “all personal property” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether or not the Collateral includes all assets or all personal property of such Grantor, or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable that is of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall, where permitted by applicable Laws, be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

10.4. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

10.5. Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents. At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any applicable requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent).

11.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, subject to any consents required under Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, in a written instrument executed by such Agent.

11.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 8.2.

11.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission

or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel to each Secured Party and outside counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or Other Taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent any Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 11.4 (Indemnities) of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

11.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their permitted successors and assigns; provided that, except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

11.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time, while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.8. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

11.10. Integration. This Agreement, together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, embodies the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.11. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

11.12. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, except that the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties may, in their sole discretion, bring legal action or proceedings in other appropriate jurisdictions with respect to the enforcement of its rights with respect to the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to any other jurisdiction to which it may be entitled on account of domicile, residence or otherwise and waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that such Grantor may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions;

(b) consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or to the Borrowers at their addresses specified in Section 8.2. Each Grantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws;

(c) agrees that nothing contained in this Section 8.12 shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Laws or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Grantor in any other jurisdiction;

(d) to the extent that such Grantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

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

(b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.

11.14. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of a Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.11 (Additional Collateral and Guaranties) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor and a Guarantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

(a) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations that the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable shall have been paid in full, the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated or expired and each Letter of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement has been cash collateralized, back-stopped or secured to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuers or no longer outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrowers, a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Pledged Equity Interests in such Guarantor shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least three Business Days (or such lesser period permitted in writing by the Collateral Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for such release identifying the relevant Guarantor and the terms of the relevant sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrowers stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Sections 9-509(d)(2) and 9-518 of the New York UCC.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation (the “Parent”), and each of the Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries which is a party (each, a “Payor”) to this Amended and Restated Global Intercompany Note (this “Intercompany Note”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay on demand to the order of the Parent and each of its Affiliates which is a party to this Intercompany Note as a payee (each, a “Payee”) at such place as such Payee may direct in writing, the principal amount of this Intercompany Note, determined as described below, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by any Payor and any Payee.

This Intercompany Note is the Global Intercompany Note referred to in the Credit Agreement dated April 16, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Parent, McDermott Finance L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Term Borrower”), the Lenders, the Issuers, and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacity, and together with its successors, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacity, and together with its successors, the “Collateral Agent”). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Each Payee by accepting or executing this Intercompany Note agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Intercompany Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Obligations and that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent under the Pledge and Security Agreement. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of either Borrower to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of either Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to either Borrower or its property, (i) the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Obligations before any Payee shall be entitled to receive any payment hereunder, and (ii) until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which any Payee would be entitled but for this paragraph shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to holders of the Obligations as their interests may appear.

No Payor may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note at any time that an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b) or (f) of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing unless the Payee is the Parent or a Subsidiary Guarantor. No Payor that is a Loan Party may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Payee is a Loan Party.

No Payor that is the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note to any Affiliate of the Parent (other than the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) in violation of Section 8.5(e) of the Credit Agreement. If any payment or distribution is made to any Payee that because of this paragraph should not have been made to it or which such Payee is otherwise not entitled to retain under the provisions of this paragraph, such Payee shall hold it in trust for holders of the Obligations and pay it over to the Collateral Agent on their behalf as their interests may appear.

The aggregate principal amount of this Intercompany Note at any time shall be equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and extensions of credit to any Payor by any Payee, as adjusted on a regular basis to reflect any payments made by any Payor in respect of the principal of this Intercompany Note, any additional advances to any Payor from any Payee or any accrued interest which is added to the principal amount hereof in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case, as reflected on the books and records of the applicable Payee. Subject to the third and fourth paragraphs of this Intercompany Note (the “Subordination Provision”), loans hereunder may be prepaid at the option of the Payor. Principal not paid or prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof shall be payable on the date that is one year after the Term Maturity Date (the “Maturity Date”).

Subject to the Subordination Provision, payments of interest, if any, on this Intercompany Note shall be payable in the manner separately agreed by the Payor and the Payee.

Subject to the Subordination Provision, this Intercompany Note shall also be payable in full or in part pursuant to a written demand to a Payor (a “Demand”) from a Payee or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at which time the Payor shall make all payments of the amounts so demanded to the account designated in the Demand on the date specified in the Demand. Following delivery of a Demand, all payments shall be made in accordance with instructions in the Demand. If payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for such payment shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.

The obligations of each Payor under this Note shall be absolute and each Payor hereby irrevocably waives any right (whether arising by operation of law or otherwise) to any setoff, counterclaim or reduction of its obligations with respect to any amounts payable under this Intercompany Note based on any claims that such Payor has against each Payee, its affiliates or any other person.

Each Payor hereby waives presentment for payment, demands, notice of dishonor and protest of this Intercompany Note and further agrees that none of its terms or provisions may be waived, altered, modified or amended except as each Payee may consent in a writing duly signed for and on its behalf. No failure or delay on the part of any Payee in exercising any of its rights, powers or privileges hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Each Payor also agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by each Payee or its successors and assigns in enforcing this Intercompany Note.

This Intercompany Note is binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns and is for the benefit of each Payee and its successors and assigns, except that the Payor may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Intercompany Note except in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement. Each Payor hereby acknowledges and consents to the assignment by each Payee that is a Grantor (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent of all of its right, title and interest in this Intercompany Note and all collateral security therefor in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement.

Each Payor and each Payee, by its acceptance hereof, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent not to amend, modify or terminate the provisions of, or assign any of their respective rights or obligations under, this Intercompany Note without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as long as any amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers under the Loan Documents.

EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE HEREBY (A) AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE, EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING (BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID) OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO MCDERMOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. (AT 757 NORTH ELDRIDGE PARKWAY, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77079). EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE

RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PAYOR OR ANY PAYEE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PAYOR OR ANY PAYEE HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE), SUCH PAYOR OR PAYEE (AS THE CASE MAY BE) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

All payments made under this Intercompany Note to holders of the Obligations shall be made in Dollars, and, if for any reason any payment made hereunder is made in a currency other than Dollars (the “Other Currency”), then to the extent that the payment actually received by any Payee when converted into Dollars at the Rate of Exchange (as defined below) on the date of payment (or as soon thereafter as it is practicable for such Payee to purchase Dollars, or, in the case of the liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous process of the applicable Payor, at the Rate of Exchange on the latest date permitted by applicable law for the determination of liabilities in such liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous process) falls short of the amount due hereunder, such Payor shall, as a separate and independent obligation of such Payor, indemnify such Payee and hold such Payee harmless against the amount of such shortfall. As used in this Intercompany Note, the term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the applicable Payee is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars with the Other Currency and shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars.

This Intercompany Note amends and restates (but does not novate or extinguish) that certain Intercompany Note dated as of May 3, 2010, among certain of the Payees and Payors, as supplemented prior to the Effective Date.

THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Payor and each Payee has caused this Intercompany Note to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

This LANDLORD WAIVER AND CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of [mm/dd/yy] and entered into by [NAME OF LANDLORD] (“Landlord”), to and for the benefit of CRÉDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity “Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement).

WHEREAS, [NAME OF GRANTOR], a [Type of Person] (“Tenant”), has possession of and occupies all or a portion of the property described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Premises”);

WHEREAS, Tenant’s interest in the Premises arises under the lease agreement (the “Lease”) more particularly described on Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which Landlord has rights, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, to take possession of, and otherwise assert control over, the Premises;

WHEREAS, reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated April 16, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed in the Credit Agreement) among McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation, McDermott

Finance L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, the Lenders, the Issuers and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers, pursuant to which Tenant has executed a security agreement and certain other mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt and assignments of rents and leases, and other collateral documents, as applicable, in connection with the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, Borrowers’ repayment of the extensions of credit made by the Secured Parties arising under the Credit Agreement and other obligations of Tenant as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, will be secured, in part, by all Inventory (as defined in the UCC) of Tenant (including all Inventory of Tenant now or hereafter located on the Premises (the “Collateral”)); and

WHEREAS, Agent has requested that Landlord execute this Agreement as a condition to the extension of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Agent as follows:

1. Landlord hereby (a) waives and releases unto Agent and its successors and assigns any and all rights granted by or under any present or future laws to levy or distraint for rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the Collateral, and (b) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 1), shall be second and subordinate to the rights of Agent in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Premises.

2. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any other default under or in connection with the Lease, and (e) except as disclosed to Agent, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or mortgage lien or ground or superior lease.

3. Landlord consents to the installation or placement of the Collateral on the Premises, and Landlord grants to Agent a license to enter upon and into the Premises to do any or all of the following with respect to the Collateral: assemble, have appraised, display, remove, maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, transfer, or sell (at public or private sale). In entering upon or into the Premises, Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord caused solely by Agent’s entering upon or into the Premises and taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall include any damage to the Premises made by Agent in severing and/or removing the Collateral therefrom.

4. Landlord agrees that it will not prevent Agent or its designee from entering upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect or remove the Collateral. In the event that Landlord has the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Premises (either through expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of Tenant thereunder), Landlord will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to Agent to that effect. Within the 45 day period after Agent receives the Landlord’s Notice, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Collateral to be removed from the Premises. During such 45 day period, Landlord will not remove the Collateral from the Premises nor interfere with Agent’s actions in removing the Collateral from the Premises or Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Agent shall at no time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises.

5. Landlord shall send to Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Lease sent by Landlord to Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall send to Agent a copy of any notice received by Landlord of a breach or default under any other lease, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument to which Landlord is a party which may affect Landlord’s rights in, or possession of, the Premises.

6. All notices to Agent under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to Agent at its address set forth on the signature page hereof by facsimile, by United States mail, or by overnight delivery service.

7. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have received Agent’s written certification that the security interests referenced hereunder have been released.

8. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first set forth above.

SECTION 1. I, [ ], am a Responsible Officer of each of McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation (the “Parent”) and McDermott Finance L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Term Borrower” and, together with the Parent, the “Borrowers”).

This certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement dated April 16, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuers and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and as collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

I have reviewed the terms of each of the Loan Documents and the definitions relating thereto, and in my opinion I have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable me to express an informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

Based upon my review and examination described in paragraph 3 above, I certify, on behalf of the Borrowers in my capacity as a Responsible Officer of each Borrower and not in my individual capacity, that:

both before and after giving effect to the Term Loans and Issuances on the Effective Date and, with respect to the Term Loans, to any application of the proceeds therefrom on the Effective Date:

(i) The representations and warranties contained in Article IV of the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents that have no materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification are true and correct in all material respects and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents that have a materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification are true and correct in all respects, in each case with the same effect as though made on and as of such date or, to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, as of such earlier date; and

as of the Effective Date, no litigation not listed on Schedule 4.7 to the Credit Agreement has been commenced against the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

the Borrowers and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, are Solvent immediately after giving effect to the Transactions.
