If a Participating Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Discounts, only the bid with the highest Reply Discount that is

For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Euro-currency Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Loan Borrowing”).

Section 1.03 Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be

67

construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (including pursuant to any permitted refinancing, extension, renewal, replacement, restructuring or increase (in each case, whether pursuant to one or more agreements or with different lenders or different agents), but subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns and, in the case of any Governmental Authority, any other Governmental Authority that shall have succeeded to any or all of the functions thereof, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof’ and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement, (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights, (f) any reference to any Requirement of Law shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such Requirement of Law as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time and shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Requirement of Law, (g) the phrase “for the term of this Agreement” and any similar phrases shall mean the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the Latest Maturity Date, the term “manifest error” shall be deemed to include any clearly demonstrable error whether or not obvious on the face of the document containing such error and (h) all references to “knowledge” or “awareness” of any Loan Party or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof means the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

Section 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then Holdco, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Holdco’s, the Borrower’s and the Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by Holdco, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial ratios, covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any change in GAAP or the application or interpretation thereof that would require operating leases to be treated similarly as a capital lease shall not be given effect in the definitions of Indebtedness or Liens or any related definitions or in the computation of any financial ratio or requirement.

Section 1.05 Pro Forma Calculations. With respect to any period during which the Transactions or any Specified Transaction occurs, for purposes of determining the prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.11(d) and the Applicable Margin in respect of such period, calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets, Total Net Leverage Ratio and Senior

68

Secured Net Leverage Ratio or for any other purpose hereunder (or determination of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), with respect to such period shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis; provided that, in connection with any Specified Transaction that is a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any test or covenant contained in this Agreement during any period which requires the calculation of any of the foregoing ratios or any baskets that is measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or determination of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”) the date of determination for calculation of any such ratios or baskets or determination of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Specified Transaction that is a Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Applicable Date of Determination ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of Holdco or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated and tested on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

Section 1.06 Currency Translation.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance as of any date after the Closing Date with Section 5.14, Section 6.01, Section 6.02, Section 6.03, Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.06, Section 6.08, Section 6.09 or Section 6.12, or for purposes of making any determination under Section 7.01(f), (g)., (j), or (l), or for any other specified purpose hereunder, amounts incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the last Business Day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made, as such exchange rates shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower by reference to customary indices; provided that for purposes of determining compliance with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio on any date of determination, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be translated into Dollars (i) with respect to income statement items, at the currency exchange rates used in calculating Consolidated Net Income in Holdco’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.0l(a) or (b) and (ii) with respect to balance sheet items, at the currency exchange rates used in calculating balance sheet items in Holdco’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness. No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation

69

or threshold set forth in Dollars in Section 5.14, Section 6.01, Section 6.02, Section 6.03, Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.06, Section 6.08, Section 6.09, Section 6.12 or Section 7.01(f), (g), (j), or (l), being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made.

(b) The Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement) shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in Euros or any other Alternative Currency as of (i) each date (with such date to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable) that is on or about the date of each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, (ii) each date on which the Dollar Equivalent in respect of any Borrowing is determined pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, and each such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such Multicurrency Letter of Credit until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 1.06(b) and (iii) from time to time with notice to the Borrower in its reasonable discretion.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Borrowing denominated in Euros or any other Alternative Currency as of (i) each date (with such date to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) that is on or about the date of a Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request or the beginning of each Interest Period with respect to any Borrowing, (ii) each date on which the Dollar Equivalent in respect of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit is determined pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, and each such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 1.06(c), (iii) each date of determination of the rates specified under the heading “Commitment Fee Rate” in the definition of “Applicable Margin” and (iv) from time to time with notice to the Borrower in its reasonable discretion; provided that if a prepayment of Term Loans is required under Section 2.11, the Dollar Equivalent of such Term Loans for purposes of determining the relative application of the prepayment among multiple Classes of Term Loans shall be determined as of the date of such prepayment, or if earlier, the date that notice of such prepayment is furnished by the Borrower.

(d) The Dollar Equivalent of any LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in Euros or any other Alternative Currency and not reimbursed by the Borrower shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.05(e).

(e) The Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank) shall notify the Borrower, the applicable Lenders and the Issuing Bank of each calculation of the Dollar Equivalent of each Multicurrency Letter of Credit, Borrowing and LC Disbursement.

Section 1.07 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up for five). For example, if the relevant ratio is to be calculated to the hundredth decimal place and the calculation of the ratio is 5.125, the ratio will be rounded up to 5.13.

Section 1.08 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

70

Section 1.09 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Application related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by any reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.

Section 1.10 Certifications. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.

Section 1.11 Compliance with Article VI. In the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, restrictive agreement or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections in Article VI, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion at such time.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and express conditions set forth herein, each applicable Lender severally agrees (a) to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Tranche B Term Commitment, (b) to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in Dollars, Euros, British Pounds or any other Alternative Currency in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Commitment and (c) to make U.S. Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and express conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans (without premium or penalty). Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Tranche B Term Commitments will terminate in full upon the making of the Loans referred to in clause (a) above.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Type and currency made to the Borrower by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

71

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, (i) each Revolving Loan Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing denominated in Euros, British Pounds or other Alternative Currency shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Borrowings and (ii) each Revolving Loan Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 (or, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Euros, €250,000, British Pounds, £250,000 or other Alternative Currency, a like amount) and not less than $500,000 (or, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Euros, €500,000, British Pounds, £500,000 or other Alternative Currency, a like amount). At the time that each ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $125,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 6 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding plus up to an additional 3 Interest Periods in respect of each (i) Incremental Facility, (ii) Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments, and (iii) Other Term Loans and Other Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Revolving Loans comprising any Borrowing under a Revolving Facility may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Facility.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Revolving Maturity Date (in the case of such Revolving Loan) or the Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to such Borrowing (in the case of such Term Loan), as the case may be.

(e) The obligations of the Revolving Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint (it being understood that the foregoing shall in no way be in derogation of the reallocation of participations in Letters of Credit among the Revolving Lenders contemplated by Section 2.22(a)(iv)).

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Euros or British Pounds, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (c) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any other Alternative Currency, no later than 1:00 p.m., London time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or a shorter notice period to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time any Alternative Currency is specified other than the Alternative Currencies provided for in clauses (a) and (b)) or (d) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any notice of a Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date (whether a Eurocurrency Borrowing or ABR Borrowing or denominated in Euros) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, which notice may be subject to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement. Each such written Borrowing Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, electronic communication (including Adobe pdf file) or facsimile to the

72

Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

(i) the name of the Borrower;

(ii) the Class of such Borrowing;

(iii) the currency and aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

If no currency is specified with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected Dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing and (B) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros, British Pounds or other Alternative Currency, a Eurocurrency Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 [Reserved].

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Upon satisfaction of the express conditions specified in Section 4.01 on or prior to the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit will, automatically and without any action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under the Revolving Facilities as set forth on Schedule 1.03 hereto for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and express conditions set forth herein, (i) the Borrower may request (and the Issuing Bank shall issue) the issuance of standby or trade U.S. Letters of Credit for its own account (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any Subsidiary) and (ii) the Borrower may request (and the Issuing Bank shall issue) the issuance of standby or trade Multi currency Letters of Credit for its own account (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any Subsidiary), in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time prior to the date thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period.

(i) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank (except that the Issuing Bank in respect of Existing Letters of Credit shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit, except to the extent that it otherwise becomes or continues as an Issuing Bank hereunder, and, unless agreed by it, shall not be required to amend, renew or extend an Existing Letter of Credit) and the Administrative Agent (not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, at least five (5) Business Days in advance (or, with respect to a Multicurrency Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, at least five (5) Business Days in advance) or a shorter time period if approved by the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion, of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is U.S. Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which, in the case of a U.S. Letter of Credit shall be in Dollars, and, in the case of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit, shall be Dollars, Euros or any other Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.

Immediately upon the issuance of each Multicurrency Letter of Credit, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Multicurrency Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Multicurrency Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally

74

agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a risk participation in such U.S. Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such U.S. Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit.

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

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) in each case not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate (x) any laws binding upon or otherwise applicable to the Issuing Bank or (y) one or more policies of the Issuing Bank regarding completion of customary “know your customer” requirements on the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a co-applicant for such Letter of Credit;

(C) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than (I) Dollars, (in the case of a U.S. Letter of Credit) or (II) Dollars, Euros or any other Alternative Currency (in the case of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit);

(D) it is not required to do so pursuant to Section 2.22(c); or

(E) the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit is on or after thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

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

(v) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Applicable Participants with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Letter of Credit Application pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank.

(vi) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

75

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) (A) in the case of any standby Letter of Credit, the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) in the case of any commercial Letter of Credit, the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, provided if the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank shall agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Applicable Participants shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.05(b)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is thirty (30) days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Applicable Participant, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable express conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (or waived), and provided further that, if agreed to by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, be renewed for a period beyond the date that is the Revolving Maturity Date if, at the time of such request or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit has become subject to cash collateralization (at 103% of the face value of such Letter of Credit) or other arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Applicable Participants, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Applicable Participant, and each Applicable Participant hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) each Multicurrency Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each (i) LC Disbursement in respect of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Bank in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rate on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement in respect of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Bank in Euros or other Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason and (y) each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such U.S. Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement in respect of any U.S. Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the US Borrower for any reason. Each Applicable Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

76

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall honor a Letter of Credit drawing presented under a Letter of Credit and notifies the Borrower of any payment by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, the Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit honored by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rate when such payment is due, of such LC Disbursement, in Dollars, or at the option of the Borrower with respect to any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, in an Alternative Currency to the extent such LC Disbursement is made in such Alternative Currency, in each case, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day succeeding the date on which the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of such Letter of Credit honoring or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of such Letter of Credit; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $500,000, the Borrower may, subject to the express conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan Borrowing of the same Class in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rate on the date when such payment is due, of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then the Administrative Agent shall notify each Applicable Participant of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower (such payment from such Applicable Participant to be made on demand with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Participant (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Participant), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Participant. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Participants and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an Applicable Participant pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the Issuing Bank has made an LC Disbursement and has received from any Applicable Participant such Applicable Participant’s payment in respect of such LC Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.05(e), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related LC Disbursement or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Applicable Participant its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(e) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances

77

described in Section 9.08 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Applicable Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Applicable Participant, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to Holdco, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder (other than the defense of payment or performance). Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, material breach of its obligations as an Issuing Bank hereunder, or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) and compliance by the Issuing Bank with the applicable standards of care set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of New York, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination as Issuing Bank. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder, provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Applicable Participant with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.05(e).

78

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full as set forth in Section 2.05(e), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the first Business Day after receipt of notice to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(e), then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders, the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.

(k) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement.

(l) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and/or any Subsidiaries of the Borrower inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(m) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an

79

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 and, if specifically required by its terms and conditions, to any such standby Letter of Credit.

(n) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control, and any grant of a security interest in any form of Letter of Credit Application or other agreement shall be null and void.

(o) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Multicurrency Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, or any tranche of U.S. Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any U.S. Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated and no Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency may be reallocated to Revolving Commitments that do not permit Borrowings in such currency) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(c) or otherwise backstop such Letter of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank. If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

(p) Addition of an Issuing Bank. A Revolving Lender (or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) may become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional Issuing Bank.

(q) Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each week (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree), each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Letter of Credit Issuer during such month.

80

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (i) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars or an ABR Borrowing for which notice has been provided one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) 8:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of any Borrowings denominated in an Alternative Currency, or (iii) 12:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of an ABR Borrowing (other than as provided in clause (i)), in each case to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by wire transfer of the amounts so received, in immediately available funds, to an account of the Borrower, in each case designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Participants and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, after giving effect to the reallocations pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv), if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, within five (5) Business Days of written notice, such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower, to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in Euros or other Alternative Currency, the rate reasonably determined in accordance with customary practices by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section, provided that the Borrower may not elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in Euros, British Pounds or an Alternative Currency to an ABR Borrowing and may not change the currency of any Borrowing. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Loan Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such written Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request substantially in the form of Exhibit B and signed by the Borrower.

81

(c) Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the name of the Borrower;

(ii) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(iii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Euro-currency Borrowing; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in Euros or an Alternative Currency, such Borrowing shall continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h) or 7 .01(i) has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Borrowing may be continued for an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated or extended, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time, without premium or penalty, terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class, provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Commitments denominated in Euros, €1,000,000, British Pounds, £1,000,000, or other Alternative Currency, a

82

like amount) and not less than $5,000,000 (or in the case of Commitments denominated in Euros, €5,000,000, British Pounds, £5,000,000, or other Alternative Currency, a like amount) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce any Class of Revolving Commitments to the extent that, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans of such Class in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate Revolving Exposure (calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect as of the date of the proposed termination or reduction) of such Class (excluding the portion of the Revolving Exposure attributable to outstanding Letters of Credit if and to the extent that the Borrower has Cash Collateralized (at 103% of the face value of such Letters of Credit) or made other arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit) would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(d) The Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to a Defaulting Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to terminate in whole such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to such termination, (i) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Exposure of all U.S. Revolving Lenders does not exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolving Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Exposure of all Multicurrency Revolving Lenders does not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments. Such termination shall be effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unused portion of its Commitment on the date set forth in such notice. No termination of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against the Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower on the Revolving Maturity Date.

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

83

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and pay interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit F, provided that, except as set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii)(C), the delivery of any such note shall not be a condition precedent to the Closing Date or any Acquisition or Investment. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns (and ownership shall at all times be recorded in the Register).

Section 2.10 Amortization of Term Loans.

(a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section and subject to paragraph (i) of Section 2.11, the Borrower shall repay the Term Loans on each date set forth below in an aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such date in the table below; provided, however, that if such date falls on a non-Business Day, the repayment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day:

84

Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) [Reserved]

(d) Any prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing of any Class shall be applied (i) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or (e), to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section as directed by the Borrower, or as otherwise provided in any Extension Amendment, any Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, and (ii) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section in direct order of maturity, or as otherwise provided in any Extension Amendment, any Incremental Facility Amendment, or Refinancing Amendment.

(e) Prior to any repayment of any Term Loan Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such election not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16 and the following sentence), to prepay any Borrowing of any Class in whole or in part, as selected and designated by the Borrower, subject to the requirements of this Section. Each voluntary prepayment of any Loan pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) and mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(e) shall be made without premium or penalty except that, in the event that on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Borrower makes any prepayment or repayment of Term Loans as a result of a Repricing Transaction or any amendment to this Agreement to effectuate a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 1% of the amount of the Term Loans being so prepaid, repaid or refinanced or the aggregate amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment and otherwise subject to the Repricing Transaction, as applicable. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.10(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after any Extension, the Borrower may prepay any Borrowing of any Class of non-extended Term Loans pursuant to which the related Extension Offer was made without any obligation to prepay the corresponding Extended Term Loans.

85

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposures of any Revolving Facility exceed (A) 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (B) the aggregate Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility (other than as a result of currency fluctuations), the Borrower shall prepay (no later than one (1) Business Day after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower) Revolving Loan Borrowings under such Revolving Facility (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate Revolving Exposures under such Revolving Facility exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility.

(c) Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, and unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, in the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Loans on a pro rata basis (except, as to Term Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment, as otherwise set forth in such Incremental Facility Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment, or as to a Replacement Term Loan), in each case in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds; provided that in the case of any such event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary applies (or commits pursuant to a binding contractual arrangement (including pursuant to a letter of intent) to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within twelve (12) months after receipt of such Net Proceeds to reinvest such proceeds in assets of the general type used or useful in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including in connection with an acquisition), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of the twelve-month (or, if committed to be so applied within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such Net Proceeds, eighteen-month) period following receipt of such Net Proceeds, at the end of which period a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; provided, further, that with respect to any Prepayment Event referenced in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition thereof, (i) the Borrower shall only be obligated to make any prepayment otherwise required by this paragraph (c) to the extent the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds from all such Prepayment Events, after giving effect to the reinvestment rights set forth herein, exceeds $6,500,000 (the “Prepayment Trigger”) in any fiscal year of the Borrower, but then from all such Net Proceeds and (ii) the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Proceeds to prepay or repurchase First Lien Senior Secured Notes or any other Indebtedness secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations (the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”) to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Other Applicable Indebtedness, in which case, the amount of prepayment required to be made with respect to such Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 2.11 (c) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans that would otherwise be required to be prepaid pursuant to this paragraph (c) and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Other Applicable Indebtedness required to be prepaid pursuant to the terms of the documents governing such Other Applicable Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to this paragraph.

(d) Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.11 and unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, following the end of each fiscal year of Holdco, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the Borrower shall prepay, Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Required Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that such amount shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of permitted loan buybacks (limited to the amount of cash actually paid in respect of such purchase) and voluntary prepayments made with Internally Generated Cash

86

(other than prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(c), (d) or (e)) of Term Loans, Other Applicable Indebtedness and Revolving Loans (to the extent of, in the case of Revolving Loans, a corresponding Revolving Commitment reduction) made during such fiscal year or the period following the end of such fiscal year and prior to the ECF Due Date; provided further that such amount shall only be required to be paid to the extent it exceeds $5,000,000. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made not later than ten (10) Business Days after the financial statements referred to in Section 5.0l(a) for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made are required to be delivered (such earlier date, the “ECF Due Date”). All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) shall be applied solely to the outstanding Initial Term Loans (and any Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Other Term Loans to the extent provided for in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Initial Term Loans receive not less than the pro rata portion of such prepayment).

(e) If the Borrower incurs or issues any (i) Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or Refinancing Notes permitted to be incurred or issued hereunder (other than a Permitted Refinancing thereof) or (ii) any other Indebtedness not permitted under Section 6.01, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, prepay the principal amount of the corresponding Credit Agreement Refinanced Debt (in the case of clause (i)) or each Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in the case of clause (ii)), in each case in accordance with Section 2.11(g) and in an aggregate amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such issuance or incurrence (provided such Net Proceeds shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and fees and expenses associated with such principal amount prepaid); provided that such prepayment shall be subject to the second sentence of Section 2.11 (a).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary would (x) give rise to a risk of liability for the directors of such Foreign Subsidiary, (y) be prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of directors of the relevant subsidiaries or (z) be restricted by applicable Organizational Documents of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(d), or the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment at the time provided in Section 2.11 (c), as the case may be, and instead, such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts (as determined in the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law or applicable Organizational Document impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law or applicable Organizational Document impediment, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes, costs and expenses payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in consultation with the Administrative Agent that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow

87

(which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a tax liability, including a tax dividend, deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or a withholding tax), the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

(g) In connection with (i) any optional prepayment of Borrowings hereunder or (ii) any mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall, in each case, subject to the provisions of this paragraph and paragraph (1) of this Section, select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section; provided that in the absence of a selection, any prepayment shall be applied first, to the first eight (8) installments and thereafter, in direct order of maturity. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding the applicable Class of Term Loans of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each such Term Loan Lender may reject all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (c) or (d) of this Section 2.11 by providing notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time of such prepayment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. Any Declined Proceeds remaining after offering such Declined Proceeds to the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

(h) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment hereunder (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed prepayment, (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed prepayment, (c) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any other Alternative Currency, no later than 2:00 p.m., London time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed prepayment (or a shorter notice period to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time any Alternative Currency is specified other than the Alternative Currencies provided for in clauses (a) and (b)) or (d) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment, provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of any other specified event, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and any prepayment fees required by Section 2.11(a), to the extent applicable.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, Holdco, the Borrower or

88

any Restricted Subsidiary (in such case, the foregoing being herein referred to as the “Auction Parties” and each, an “Auction Party”) may repurchase outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:

(A) Such Auction Party may repurchase all or any portion of any Class of Term Loan pursuant to a Dutch Auction (or such other modified Dutch Auction conducted pursuant to similar procedures as the Borrower and Administrative Agent may otherwise agree); provided that no proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used by any Auction Party to repurchase Term Loans pursuant to such Auction;

(B) Following repurchase by any Auction Party pursuant to this Section 2.11(i), the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by any Auction Party), for all purposes of this Agreement and the principal amount of the Loans so repurchased shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the scheduled remaining installments of principal on such Class of Term Loans. In connection with any Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.11(i), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by any Auction Party in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 2.11(i) shall not be subject to any of the pro rata payment or sharing requirements of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, failure by an Auction Party to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 2.11 (i) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default;

(C) Each Lender that sells its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(i) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Auction Parties may come into possession of additional information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties at any time after a repurchase has been consummated pursuant to an Auction hereunder that was not known to such Lender or the Auction Parties at the time such repurchase was consummated and that, when taken together with information that was known to the Auction Parties at the time such repurchase was consummated, may be information that would have been material to such Lender’s decision to enter into an assignment of such Term Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and determination to enter into an assignment of its Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated by an Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the Auction Parties, the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person shall have any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender that tenders Loans pursuant to an Auction agrees to the foregoing provisions of this clause (C). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.11(i) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment requirements) (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Loans by an Auction Party contemplated by this Section 2.11 (i) shall not constitute Investments by such Auction Party) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.11(i).

(j) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.11, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.11, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.11 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit with the Administrative Agent in the currency in which such Loan is denominated the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or

89

notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.11. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Eurocurrency Loans to be so prepaid; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

(k) [Reserved].

(1) Application of Prepayment by Type of Term Loans. In connection with any voluntary prepayments by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a), any voluntary prepayment thereof shall be applied first to ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16. In connection with any mandatory prepayments by the Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans; provided that if no Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 (g), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender under each Revolving Facility, in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Facility, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate under the heading “Commitment Fee Rate” in the definition of “Applicable Margin” on the actual daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender under such Revolving Facility during the period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the date on which the applicable Revolving Commitments terminate, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.22. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the applicable Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on September 30, 2015, provided that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Applicable Participant a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the actual daily amount of such Applicable Participant’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date, to but excluding the date on which such Applicable Participant’s Revolving Commitment terminates, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum on the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date, to but excluding the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees

90

with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued to and excluding the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2015, provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within thirty (30) days after written demand (including reasonable supporting documents). All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid by the Borrower on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender of a Revolving Loan party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the making of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, a closing fee (the “Revolving Facility Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment provided on the Closing Date. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender of an Initial Term Loan party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Initial Term Loan, a closing fee, which shall be structured as original issue discount (the “Term Loan Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.50% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Initial Term Loan funded on the Closing Date. Such Revolving Facility Closing Fee or Term Loan Closing Fee, as applicable, will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and shall be netted against the Revolving Loans (if any) made by such Lender to the Borrower or the Initial Term Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower, as applicable.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

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

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section (including the Applicable Margin) or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no default rate shall accrue on the Loans of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

91

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on written demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate and any Loans denominated in British Pounds shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing denominated in such currency to, or continuation of any Borrowing denominated in such currency as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency shall be ineffective, and any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency that is requested to be continued (A) if such currency is the Dollar, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) if such currency is Euros, shall (1) in the case of a Revolving Loan Borrowing, be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (2) [reserved] and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency, (A) if such currency is the Dollar, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (B) if such currency is Euros, such Borrowing Request shall be ineffective.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate);

92

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any additional Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or change the basis of taxation of such Lender in respect thereof (except, in each case, for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and any Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to materially increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) of the Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Borrower or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company and the basis for requesting such compensation, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment by the Borrower of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto,

93

(b) the conversion by the Borrower of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert into, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11 (h) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (excluding the impact of the proviso of the “Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate” definition), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits or Euro deposits, as applicable, of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any costs incurred more than 120 days prior to the date of the event giving rise to such costs.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Each payment by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any Requirement of Law. If any applicable withholding agent is so required to withhold Taxes, then such withholding agent shall so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable law. To the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including any such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17), the applicable Lender (or, in the case of any amount payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party (i) shall pay any Other Taxes imposed on them to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) shall indemnify each Recipient for any Other Taxes imposed on it in accordance with Section 2.17(d).

(c) As promptly as possible after any payment of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17 by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.

(d) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient (including

94

Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted; provided, however, that if a Recipient does not notify the Loan Parties of any indemnification claim under this Section 2.17(d) within 120 days after such Recipient has received written notice of the claim of a taxing authority giving rise to such indemnification claim, the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify such Recipient for any incremental interest or penalties resulting from such Recipient’s failure to notify the Loan Parties within such 120-day period. The indemnity under this paragraph (d) shall be paid within 30 days after the Recipient (or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Recipient) delivers to the applicable Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so payable by such Recipient and the basis for requesting such reimbursement. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit any such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements, or any other U.S. or non-U.S. withholding requirements. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(e). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(e)(i), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(ii)(A)-(E) or (iv) 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. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(e).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, two duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form);

95

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom any payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit I (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”);

(E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (e)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to any Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 147l(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and 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 (including as prescribed by Section 147l(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and Administrative Agent requested by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion (in good faith), that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid to such indemnifying party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Recipient is required to repay

96

such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) On or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, any Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form, certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.17(g) shall require the Administrative Agent to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of any Change in Law after the date hereof. Any Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent, that is not a U.S. Person, shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-l(b)(2)(iv)(A)).

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

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

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, or in the case of payments denominated in an Alternative Currency, 8:00 a.m., New York City time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in same day funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in same day funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.11 (i), Section 2.12(d), Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments

97

pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Unless otherwise provided herein, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan and, except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If, other than as provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans of the applicable Class, Term Loans of the applicable Class and participations in LC Disbursements of the applicable Class, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (v) any payment or prepayment made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (w) the application of Cash Collateral provided in Section 2.23 from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (x) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant or the termination of any Lender’s commitment and non-pro rata repayment of Liens pursuant to Section 2.19(b), (y) transactions in connection with an open market purchase or a Dutch Auction, or (z) in connection with a transaction pursuant to an Extension Offer, Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment or amendment in connection with Refinanced Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not limit the ability of Holdco, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) purchase and retire Term Loans pursuant to an open market purchase or a Dutch Auction or (ii) pay principal, fees, premiums and interest with respect to Other Revolving Loans, Other Term Loans, Refinanced Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans following the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, any Extension Offer or Incremental Facility Amendment, as applicable, on a basis different from the Loans of such Class that will continue to be held by Lenders that were not Extending Lenders or Lenders pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment, as applicable. For purposes of subclause (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.

98

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (c), Section 2.06(a) or (b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with its internal policies or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Loans as a result of any of the conditions in Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (1) terminate the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender and repay the Loans on a non-pro rata basis, or (2) require such Lender (and such Lender shall be obligated) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and, other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Issuing Bank any Letters of Credit issued by it, and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

99

(c) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, as applicable (provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register) and (ii) deliver Notes, if any, evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, as applicable, (B) all obligations of the Loan Parties owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loan Documents and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender or the Loan Parties (as applicable) to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption, any amounts owing to the assigning Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) under Section 2.16 as a consequence of such assignment and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

Section 2.20 Incremental Loans.

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to the Latest Maturity Date, subject to the terms and express conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may by no less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or such lesser number of days reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), request to add one or more new credit facilities (each, an “Incremental Facility”) denominated in Dollars and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, at the option of the Borrower, any Alternative Currency, and consisting of one or more additional tranches of term loans or an increase to an existing Class of Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”) or one or more additional tranches of revolving commitments or an increase in an existing Class of Revolving Commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”), or a combination thereof; provided that (i) (A) immediately before and after giving effect to each Incremental Facility Amendment and the applicable Incremental Facility, no Event of Default exists at the time of such request or immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Loans are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment, immediately before and after giving effect to each Incremental Facility Amendment and the applicable Incremental Facility, no Specified Event of Default exists at the time of such request or immediately after giving effect thereto, (B) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the date of effectiveness (or true and correct in all material respects as of a specified date, if earlier), subject to customary “SunGard” limitations to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Loans are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment, (ii) (A) subject to the provisos to this sentence, immediately after giving effect to each Incremental Facility Amendment and the applicable Incremental Facility, if such Incremental Facility is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien securing the Obligations, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall not be greater than 4.00:1.00 or, to the extent the proceeds of such Incremental Facility are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment, would not be greater than the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence, (B) subject to the provisos to this sentence, immediately after giving effect to each Incremental Facility Amendment and the applicable Incremental Facility, if such Incremental Facility is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Lien securing the Obligations, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio

100

Computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall not be greater then 5.70:1.00 or, to the extent the proceeds of Such Incremental Facility are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, would not be greater than the Secured Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence, and (C) subject to the provisos to this sentence, immediately after giving effect to each Incremental Facility Amendment and the applicable Incremental Facility, if such Incremental Facility is unsecured, the Total Net Leverage Ratio computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall not be greater than 5.90:1.00 or, to the extent the proceeds of such Incremental Facility are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment, would not be greater than the Total Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence (assuming, in each case, solely for purposes of this Section 2.20 at the time of incurrence and not for any other provision hereunder, that (I) all Incremental Facilities, Additional Term Notes and Ratio Debt in each case established on or prior to such date are fully drawn other than any Unrestricted Additional Term Note and Incremental Facilities incurred in reliance on the Incremental Base Amount and (II) the proceeds of such Incremental Loans are not included as unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents in clause (i) of the definition of “First Lien Net Leverage Ratio”, “Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio” and “Total Net Leverage Ratio”, as applicable) (such Indebtedness, the “Incremental Ratio Debt”); provided that to the extent the proceeds of such Incremental Loans are to be used to prepay Indebtedness, the use of such proceeds for the prepayment of such Indebtedness may be given pro forma effect; provided, further, that the financial incurrence test set forth in clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) shall not apply to (1) the incurrence of an aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness under Incremental Facilities and Unrestricted Additional Term Notes after the Closing Date not to exceed an amount the Dollar Equivalent (calculated using the Exchange Rate on the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Facility Amendment and Incremental Facility) of which equals the greater of (x) $80,000,000 and (y) 50% of Borrower’s Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four fiscal quarter period for which financial statements are available, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (such amount the “Incremental Base Amount”) (minus (x) the aggregate principal amount of any Unrestricted Additional Term Notes and (y) the aggregate principal amount of any Second Lien Incremental Facilities and Second Lien Unrestricted Additional Term Notes incurred in reliance on the Incremental Base Amount (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement)) plus (2) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of any tranche of the Term Loans and voluntary permanent reductions of the Revolving Commitments effected after the Closing Date that are not financed with the incurrence of long-term Indebtedness (including purchases of the Loans (and, in the case of Revolving Loans, voluntary termination of the corresponding Revolving Commitments) by the Loan Parties at or below par, including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 2.11 (i); provided that in the case of any prepayments or repurchases below par, such credit shall be limited to the actual amount of cash paid to the lenders in connection with such prepayment or repurchase) (such Indebtedness, the “Unrestricted Incremental First Lien Indebtedness”) (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall designate any such Indebtedness as Unrestricted Incremental First Lien Indebtedness or Unrestricted Additional Term Notes on or prior to the date of such incurrence by notice to the Administrative Agent, (iii) in the event that the Yield for any Incremental Term Facility that is pari passu in right of payment and with respect to the Collateral with the Term Loans is higher than the Yield for the Initial Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Yield for the Initial Term Loans is equal to the Yield for such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points (the provision in this clause, the “MFN Protection”) and (iv) any Incremental Term Facility that is secured by a Lien that is junior to the Lien securing the Obligations shall be subject to and comply with the MFN Protection (as defined in and pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under clause (2) of the immediately preceding proviso prior to utilization of amounts under clause (1) of the immediately preceding proviso or any Incremental Ratio Debt, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have used any Incremental Ratio Debt (to the extent compliant therewith) prior to utilization of amounts under clause (1), and (ii) Loans may be incurred under both clause (1) of the immediately preceding proviso and the Incremental Ratio Debt basket, and proceeds from any such incurrence may be utilized in a single transaction by first calculating the incurrence under the Incremental Ratio Debt basket above and then

101

calculating the incurrence under clause (1) of the immediately preceding proviso. Each Incremental Facilities shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Incremental Term Facilities denominated in Euros, €1,000,000, or British Pounds, £500,000) and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, in the case of Incremental Term Facilities denominated in Euros, €10,000,000, or British Pounds, £7,500,000), provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 (or €10,000,000 or £7,500,000, as the case may be) if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above.

(b) Each Incremental Term Facility (i) if made a part of the existing tranche of Initial Term Loans, shall have terms identical to those applicable to such Initial Term Loans or (ii) if consisting of an additional tranche of term loans shall have such terms as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility; provided that (A) such Incremental Term Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in respect of the Collateral with the Initial Term Loans or be unsecured, (B) no Restricted Subsidiary is a borrower or a guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness unless such Restricted Subsidiary is a Loan Party which shall have previously or substantially concurrently guaranteed or borrowed the Obligations, (C) no Incremental Term Facility shall have a final maturity date earlier than the then existing Latest Maturity Date with respect to Term Loans, (D) no Incremental Term Facility shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-remaining Initial Term Loans (without giving effect to nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of a prepayment of the applicable Initial Term Loans), (E) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated no more favorably than the Initial Term Loans of the Borrower except those that only apply after the then existing Latest Maturity Date with respect to Term Loans, and (F) the covenants, events of default and guarantees (other than maturity fees, discounts, upfront fees, interest rate, redemption terms and redemption premiums) of such Incremental Term Loans shall be substantially similar to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the lenders or holders providing such Incremental Term Loans than, those set forth in the Loan Documents (except to the extent (x) such terms are conformed (or added) in this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder pursuant to an amendment hereto subject solely to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or (y) applicable solely to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans existing at the time of such incurrence).

(c) Each Incremental Revolving Facility (i) if made a part of an existing tranche of Initial Revolving Commitments shall have terms identical to those applicable to such Class of Initial Revolving Commitments or (ii) if consisting of an additional tranche of revolving loans and commitments shall be subject to substantially the same terms as the Initial Revolving Commitments (other than pricing, fees, maturity and other immaterial terms which shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility); provided that no Incremental Revolving Facility shall have a final maturity date earlier than the then existing Latest Maturity Date with respect to Revolving Commitments.

(d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to provide Commitments under an Incremental Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility and, to the extent such consent would be required for an assignment of such Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 9.04, the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdco, the Borrower, such Additional Lender (in the case of this Agreement and, as appropriate, any other Loan Document, as applicable) and, to the extent it directly adversely

102

amends or modifies the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Commitments under an Incremental Facility, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary, advisable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders comparable to the provisions of clause (B) of the second proviso of Section 9.02(b)). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Additional Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of the express conditions in respect of such Incremental Facility Amendment to be mutually agreed upon by the Additional Lenders and the Borrower customary for transactions of the type in respect of which the applicable Incremental Facility relates. The proceeds of any Loans under an Incremental Facility will be used, directly or indirectly, for working capital and/or general corporate purposes and/or any other purposes not prohibited hereunder (including, without limitation, Restricted Payments, Acquisitions and other Investments). This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.11, Section 2.18 and Section 9.02 to the contrary.

(e) Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.20, each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit under such Revolving Facility such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in such Letters of Credit under such Revolving Facility held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Incremental Revolving Lender), as applicable, will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility. Additionally, if any Revolving Loans are outstanding under a Revolving Facility at the time any Incremental Revolving Commitments are established, the applicable Revolving Lenders immediately after effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall purchase and assign at par such amounts of the Revolving Loans outstanding under such Revolving Facility at such time as the Administrative Agent may require such that each Revolving Lender holds its Applicable Percentage of all Revolving Loans outstanding under such Revolving Facility immediately after giving effect to all such assignments. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.21 Refinancing Amendments. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain from any existing Lender or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and, in the case of any Other Revolving Commitments, to the extent such consent would be required for an assignment of such Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 9.04, the Issuing Bank (any such existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Refinancing Lender”) Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (a) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans constituting Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments (including the corresponding portion of the Revolving Loans) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Commitments (including the corresponding portion of the Other Revolving Loans)), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments in the case of clause (a) or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments in the case of clause (b), in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (i) such

103

Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall have such pricing, interest, fees, premiums and optional prepayment and redemption terms as may be agreed by Holdco, the Borrower and the Additional Refinancing Lenders thereof, (iii) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall only be secured by assets consisting of Collateral, (iv) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than pricing, interest, fees, premiums and optional prepayment), if not consistent with the terms of the Term Loans, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans unless (x) the Lenders of the Term Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Term Loan Maturity Date and (v) if such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is secured on a junior basis to the Initial Term Loans or Initial Revolving Commitments, the Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness shall have become party to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to such express conditions as are mutually agreed with the participating Additional Refinancing Lenders. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than in connection with an extension of the maturity of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments) incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness denominated in Euros, €1,000,000, or British Pounds, £500,000) and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness denominated in Euros, €10,000,000, or British Pounds, £7,500,000), provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 (or, in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness denominated in Euros, €10,000,000, or British Pounds, £7,500,000) if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness set forth above. Subject to the consent of the Issuing Banks, any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under this Agreement before giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary or reasonably advisable to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, or reasonably advisable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 and Section 9.02 to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Other Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Other Revolving Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with the voluntary permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments shall be made on at least a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(o) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Other Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date and subject to the consent of the Issuing Bank, all Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Multicurrency Revolving Lenders in accordance with all other Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, all U.S. Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all US Revolving Lenders in accordance with all other U.S. Revolving Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.05(o), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity

104

date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments shall be made on at least a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a non-pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class and (4) assignments and participations of Other Revolving Commitments and Other Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

Section 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) 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 9.02.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), 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 the Issuing Bank; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, 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 Loans or LC Disbursement in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LC Disbursements were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non- Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements 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 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

105

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or any default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), in each case, for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and (A) if the participations in Letters of Credit are reallocated pursuant to clause (iv) below, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be adjusted to reflect the higher amounts of such participations allocated to such Lenders, and (B) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iv) below nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.23, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized.

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce LC Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender with a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment or U.S. Revolving Commitment, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Multicurrency Letters of Credit or U.S. Letters of Credit, as applicable, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender with a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment or U.S. Revolving Commitment, as applicable, shall be computed without giving effect to the Multicurrency Revolving Commitment or U.S. Revolving Commitment, as applicable, of that Defaulting Lender, and such obligation to so acquire, refinance or fund participations in such Letters of Credit shall automatically be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders with Multicurrency Revolving Commitments or U.S. Revolving Commitments, as applicable, upon such Defaulting Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in such Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Multicurrency Revolving Commitment or the U.S. Revolving Commitment, as applicable, of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Loans or U.S. Revolving Loans, as applicable, of that Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Commitment arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Revolving Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank 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 Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentage without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv), whereupon that 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 Borrower while that 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 non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) So long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, increase, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless it has received assurances satisfactory to it that non-Defaulting Lenders will cover the related exposure in accordance with this

106

Section 2.22 and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(a)(iv) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

Section 2.23 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If, as of the date of termination of all Revolving Commitments, any LC Exposure for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall promptly provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 103% of the then outstanding amount of all LC Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly after the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 100% of all LC Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of all LC Exposure in respect of the Borrower, the Borrower will, promptly after written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate outstanding amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral to secure such LC Exposure that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable laws, to reimburse the Issuing Bank.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in one or more blocked, non-interest-bearing deposit and/or securities accounts with or established by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Liens of the type permitted by Section 6.02) in all such cash, Cash Equivalents, deposit and/or securities accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.23(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any non-permitted right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 100% of the applicable LC Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly following written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.23 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Disbursement, 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 the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s

107

good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated LC Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.24 Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by (i) the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans of the applicable Class with a like maturity date or (ii) the Borrower to all Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and offered on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate, premiums or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule, optional prepayment terms, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the Initial Term Loans and the Initial Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Class of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied (or waived):

(i) except as to interest rates, fees, premiums, amortization, prepayments, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer and which shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Class of Revolving Commitments for which such Extension Offer was made), the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Loan Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Loan Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment” and the loans made pursuant thereto, the “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall have covenants, events of default and guarantees, if not consistent with the terms of the Revolving Commitments, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Revolving Commitment unless (x) the Revolving Lenders receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Revolving Maturity Date (as determined in good faith by the Borrower); provided that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extended Revolving Commitments and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis or less with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis or less by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments, (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower

108

shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a non-pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class, (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (5) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any Initial Revolving Commitments) which have more than four different maturity dates,

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, premiums, amortization, prepayments, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments and final maturity (which shall, subject to the immediately succeeding clauses (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”, and together with Extending Revolving Loan Lenders, “Extending Lenders”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have covenants, events of default and guarantees, if not consistent with the terms of the Term Loans, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans unless (x) the Lenders of the Term Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Term Loan Maturity Date,

(iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans for which such Extension Offer was made and at no time shall the Term Loans (including Extended Term Loans) have more than six different maturity dates,

(iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby (without giving effect to nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of a prepayment of the applicable Term Loans),

(v) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer,

(vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and

(vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.24, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum

109

Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.24 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.24.

(c) No consent of any Lender or any Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (i) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof), (ii) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank and (iii) to the extent directly adversely amending or modifying the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent beyond those of the type already required to perform under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such Extensions. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral may be on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and, to the extent applicable, the Collateral Agent, to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower and other Loan Parties as may be necessary or advisable in order to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary, advisable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.24. In addition, any such amendment shall provide that, to the extent consented to by each relevant Issuing Bank, (a) with respect to any Letters of Credit the expiration date for which extend beyond the maturity date for the non-extended Revolving Commitments, participations in such Letters of Credit on such maturity date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment (provided that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly) and (b) limitations on drawings of Revolving Loans and issuances, extensions and amendments to Letters of Credit shall be implemented giving effect to the foregoing reallocation prior to such reallocation actually occurring to ensure that sufficient Extended Revolving Commitments are available to participate in any such Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the latest termination date of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments so that such maturity date is extended to the latest termination date of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent). No Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.24.

Section 2.25 Term Loan Exchange Notes.

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to offer (each a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) to issue to Lenders holding Term Loans under this Agreement first priority senior secured notes and/or junior lien secured notes and/or unsecured notes (the “Term Loan Exchange Notes”) in exchange for the Term Loans (each such exchange, a “Permitted Debt Exchange”); provided that such Term Loan Exchange Notes may not be in an aggregate principal amount greater than the Term Loans being exchanged plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any) thereon and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan Exchange Notes. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Term Loan Exchange Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Term Loan Exchange Notes shall be issued, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (w) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being exchanged (without giving effect to nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of a prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and the Term Loan Exchange Notes shall not have a final maturity before the Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect for the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged (it being understood that acceleration or mandatory repayment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase of such Term Loan Exchange Notes upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change in control, an event of loss or an asset disposition shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the stated final maturity thereof); (x) if secured, such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Loans and Commitments being exchanged hereunder; (y) all other terms and conditions (other than maturity, interest rates, pricing, amortization, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, optional prepayment terms, and fees) applicable to such Term Loan Exchange Notes, if not consistent with the terms of the Term Loans, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans unless (x) the Lenders of the Term Loans receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Term Loan Maturity Date; and (z) the obligations in respect of the Term Loan Exchange Notes (A) shall not be secured by Liens on any asset of Holdco, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries other than assets constituting Collateral, (B) if such Term Loan Exchange Notes are secured, all security therefor shall be granted pursuant to documentation that is not more restrictive than the Security Documents in any material respect taken as a whole (as determined by the Borrower) and (1) if such Term Loan Exchange Notes are secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Liens securing the Obligations, the representative for such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (2) if such Term Loan Exchange Notes are secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations, a representative for such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall enter into a customary intercreditor agreement with the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s substantially consistent with the terms set forth on Exhibit K-1 annexed hereto together with (A) any immaterial changes and (B) material changes thereto in light of prevailing market conditions, which material changes shall be posted to the Lenders not less than ten (10) Business Days before execution thereof and, if the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such changes within ten (10) Business Days after posting, then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s entry into such intercreditor agreement (with such changes) is reasonable and to have consented to such intercreditor agreement (with such changes) and to the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s execution thereof, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (it being understood that junior Liens are not required to be pari passu with other junior Liens, and that Indebtedness secured

111

by junior Liens may secured by Liens that are pari passu with, or junior in priority to, other Liens that are junior to the Liens securing the Obligations), or (C) shall not be incurred or Guaranteed by any Restricted Subsidiary unless such Restricted Subsidiary is a Loan Party which shall have previously or substantially concurrently Guaranteed or borrowed such Term Loans being exchanged.

(b) The Borrower shall offer to issue Term Loan Exchange Notes in exchange for the Class of Term Loans to all Lenders holding such Class of Term Loans (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or (iii) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) on a pro rata basis, and such Lenders may choose to accept or decline to receive such Term Loan Exchange Notes in their sole discretion. Any such Term Loans exchanged for Term Loan Exchange Notes shall be automatically and immediately, without further action by any Person, cancelled on the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date for all purposes of this Agreement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Loans shall be paid to the exchanging Lenders on the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date, or, if agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loans (with such interest accruing until the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange).

(c) If the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of a given Class tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans under the relevant Class tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, or, if such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall have been made with respect to multiple Classes without specifying a maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be exchanged for each Class, and the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Classes tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of all relevant Classes offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans across all Classes subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered.

(d) With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25, unless waived by the Borrower, such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans; provided that subject to the foregoing the Borrower may at its election specify (A) as a condition to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and/or (B) as a condition to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that no more than a maximum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes will be accepted for exchange. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 2.25 shall

112

supersede any provisions of Section 2.11, Section 2.18 and Sections 9.02 to the contrary, waive the requirements of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit the incurrence of any Indebtedness expressly provided for by this Section 2.25 and hereby agree not to assert any Default or Event of Default in connection with the implementation of any such Permitted Debt Exchange or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.25.

(e) In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25; provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made. The Borrower shall provide the final results of such Permitted Debt Exchange to the Administrative Agent no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of effectiveness for such Permitted Debt Exchange and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such results.

(f) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Upon any such designation (but without duplication of any amount reducing such Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the definition of “Investment”), the Borrower and/or the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive a credit against the applicable clause in Section 6.04 that was utilized for the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary for all Returns in respect of such Investment.

(b) The Borrower may designate (or re-designate) any Restricted Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary as an Electing Guarantor.

Section 5.14 Conduct of Business. From and after the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries will engage only in lines of business of the type engaged in by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on the Closing Date and similar, ancillary, supportive, complementary, synergetic or related businesses or reasonable extensions thereof (and non-core incidental businesses acquired in connection with any Acquisition or permitted Investment or other immaterial businesses).

Section 5.15 Maintenance of Ratings. The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a public corporate credit rating (but not obtain or maintain a specific rating) from S&P and a public corporate family rating from Moody’s, in respect of the Borrower, and a public rating of the Loans and the Second Lien Term Loans by each of S&P and Moody’s.

The purpose of this meeting shall be to review the consolidated financial results of operations and financial condition of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and answer questions from Lenders in connection therewith.

Section 5.17 Post-Closing Covenants. The Borrower agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the items described on Schedule 5.17 hereof on or before the dates specified with respect to such items, or such later dates as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

Section 5.18 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Holdco will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to: (a) comply and to take commercially reasonable steps to cause all lessees and other Persons operating or occupying its properties to comply, in all material respects, with all Environmental Laws, including obtaining and complying with any permit, license or other approval required thereunder; and (b) conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, response or other corrective action required under Environmental Laws to address Hazardous Materials at, on, under or emanating from any properties currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by it; provided, however, that neither Holdco nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to undertake any of the obligations above to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP, or where the failure to undertake such obligation would not reasonably be expect to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of the covenant under Section 6.12 at the end of any fiscal quarter, until the expiration of the tenth (10^th) day subsequent to the date the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), in respect of the period ending on the last day of such quarter, any net cash proceeds of any cash equity contribution other than Disqualified Equity Interests) made, directly or indirectly to the Borrower, or any net cash proceeds of any issuance of Qualified Equity Interests of the Borrower, in each case following the end of such fiscal quarter on or prior to such 10^th day, may, at the election of the Borrower be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA in each case in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to cure the relevant failure to comply with such covenant for purposes of determining compliance with such covenant (the “Cure Right”), and upon the earlier of (x) the delivery by the Borrower of written notice (a “Cure Notice”) to the Administrative Agent that it intends to exercise the Cure Right hereunder and (y) receipt by the Borrower of such cash proceeds (the “Cure Amount”), such covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma statements:

(i) solely for purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default under Section 6.12, Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which such certificate is required to be delivered shall be increased by an amount equal to the Cure Amount, and such increase shall be effective for all periods that include the fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement; and

164

(ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations (but not giving effect to any payment of Indebtedness made with such Cure Amount when calculating compliance with Section 6.12 at the end of such (but no other) fiscal quarter), the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant under Section 6.12 at the end of such fiscal quarter, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenant under Section 6.12 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or Default or Event of Default of the covenant under Section 6.12 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purpose under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than for purposes of Section 4.02(b)) if the Borrower has delivered written notice pursuant to clause (x) above); provided that if the Cure Amount is not received by the Borrower prior to such 10^th day, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four-fiscal-quarter period of the Borrower there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five (5) times during the term of this Agreement, (iii) the Cure Amount shall not exceed the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the covenant under Section 6.12 (it being understood that to the extent a Cure Notice is provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, the amount of such net cash proceeds that are received as the Cure Amount may be lower than specified in such notice to the extent that the amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under Section 6.12 is less than the full amount of any originally designated amount); (iv) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Secured Party shall exercise any remedy under the Loan Documents or applicable law on the basis of an Event of Default caused by the failure to comply with Section 6.12 until after the Borrower’s ability to cure has lapsed and Borrower has not exercised the Cure Right; and (v) the Borrower will not be permitted to borrow Revolving Loans and new Letters of Credit shall not be issued prior to receipt of the Cure Amount and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.

Section 7.04 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if requested by the Required Lenders, or upon acceleration of all the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.01, all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Loan Document shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to each Agent in its capacity as such;

(ii) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

(iii) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest), ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

(iv) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements or face amounts of the Loans, and Secured Swap

165

Agreements and Secured Cash Management Obligations and for the account of the Issuing Bank, to Cash Collateralize that portion of Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

(v) Fifth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

(vi) Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

Subject to Section 2.05(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) amounts received from any Guarantor that is not an “Eligible Contract Participant” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act) shall not be applied to the obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations, (b) Secured Cash Management Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty and (c) [reserved]. Each Lender Counterparty not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article VIII hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01 Appointment of Agents. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent set forth in this Article.

The Collateral Agent shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a Lender Counterparty or potential Lender Counterparty) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties pursuant to the Security Documents to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising

166

any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 (as though such co-agents, subagents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. The Lenders acknowledge and agree (and each Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to hereby acknowledge and agree) that Collateral Agent may also act as the collateral agent for lenders under the Other Term Loans, the Other Revolving Commitments, the Term Loan Exchange Notes, the Additional Term Notes, the Unrestricted Additional Term Notes, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and the Refinancing Notes.

Section 8.02 Rights of Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and with respect to any of its Loans or Commitments hereunder, the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder in its 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 Holdco or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law and (c) shall not except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable to the Lenders for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdco, the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdco, or the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or express conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Security Document have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (v) the value or the sufficiency

167

of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to monitor whether any amendment or waiver to any Loan Document has properly become effective or is permitted hereunder or thereunder except to the extent expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent in such amendment or waiver.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability to the Lenders for relying thereon. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all 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 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.

Section 8.06 Resignation or Removal of Agents; Successor, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. If (x) the Administrative Agent is subject to an Agent-Related Distress Event; (y) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate thereof, in each case in its capacity as a Lender, is a Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrower has either (i) replaced or is concurrently replacing the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, as the case may be, in its capacity as Lender and Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 9.02(c)(i) or (ii) terminated or is concurrently terminating the Commitments of and repaid or is concurrently repaying all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, as the case may be, in its capacity as Lender and Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 9.02(c)(ii); or (z) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate thereof, in each case in its capacity as a Lender, is a Lender that requests compensation under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 and the Borrower has either replaced or is concurrently replacing the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, as the case may be, in its capacity as Lender and Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.19(b)(2) or terminated or is concurrently terminating the Commitments of and repaid or is concurrently repaying all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, as the case may be, in its capacity as Lender and Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.19(b)(l), then, in either

168

case, either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may upon ten (10) days’ prior notice remove the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of such removal notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5 billion and otherwise may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion; provided that such consent shall not be required at any time that an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation or the delivery of such removal notice, then (a) in the case of a retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the consent of the Borrower) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Borrower may, after consulting with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that (x) in the case of a retirement, if such Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Required Lenders notify the Borrower that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security, as bailee, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is appointed), (ii) 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 the Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided for above in this Section 8.06 and (iii) the Borrower and the Lenders agree that in no event shall the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the failure of a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to be appointed and to accept such appointment. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or 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) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 Article). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or 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 Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

169

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 any Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished thereunder.

Section 8.08 No Other Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners or the Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under any Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

Section 8.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders, the Lender Counterparties and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) under any Loan Document (i) upon the Termination Date, (ii) that is sold or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or other transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to a Person that is not a Loan Party or in connection with the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iii) that constitutes Excluded Property, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Loan Party, upon the release of such Loan Party from its Guaranty otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents, (v) as to the extent, if any, provided in the Security Documents or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.02;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder;

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted under Section 6.02(d) and Section 6.02(e); and

(d) enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and other subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness to the extent the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement, in each case to the extent such agreements are substantially consistent with the terms set forth on (i) Exhibit K-1 annexed hereto together with (A) any immaterial changes and (B) material changes thereto in light of prevailing market conditions, which material changes shall be posted to the Lenders not less than ten (10) Business Days before execution thereof and, if the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such changes within ten (10) Business Days after posting, then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s entry into such inter-creditor agreement (with such changes) is reasonable and to have consented to such intercreditor agreement

170

(with such changes) and to the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s execution thereof, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (it being understood that junior Liens are not required to be pari passu with other junior Liens, and that Indebtedness secured by junior Liens may secured by Liens that are pari passu with, or junior in priority to, other Liens that are junior to the Liens securing the Obligations); and

(e) to enter into and sign for and on behalf of the Lenders as Secured Parties the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required pursuant to Section 9.02(b)(v) or (vi)) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be, authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 8.09. In each case as specified in this Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.09.

Section 8.10 Secured Swap Agents and Secured Cash Management Agents. No Lender Counterparty that obtains the benefits of Section 16 of the Security Agreement, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Swap Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations arising under Secured Swap Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements with Lender Counterparties unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty.

Section 8.11 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lenders shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) fully for, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative

171

Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For purposes of this Section 8.11, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

Section 8.12 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand each Agent and their respective Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of any Loan Party to do so) on a pro rata basis (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Lender’s ratable share at such time) and hold harmless each Agent and their respective Related Parties against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that (a) no Lender shall be liable for payment to any Agent and their respective Related Parties of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent and their respective Related Parties’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct (and no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section) and (b) to the extent any Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section solely in its capacity and role as an Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure thereof at such time). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

Section 8.13 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposures and all other Obligations, in each case, that are owing and unpaid by such Loan Party and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have such claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under Section 2.12 and Section 9.03 which are payable by such Loan Party) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

172

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(c) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, examiner or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent, to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent (and Lenders and Issuing Bank, as applicable) any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.12 and Section 9.03 in each case reimbursable or payable by such Loan Party.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Bank or in any such proceeding, in each case subject to Section 14(d) of the Security Agreement.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Holdco or the Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdco or the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.20 with respect to any Incremental Facility Amendment, in Section 2.21, with respect to any Refinancing Amendment, in Section 2.24 with respect to an Extension Offer, in connection with the Term Loan Exchange Notes, in Section 9.02(d) with respect to any amendment in respect of Replacement Term Loans and in Section 9.02(h), in Section 9.16 or as otherwise specifically provided below or otherwise provided herein or in a Loan Document, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdco, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto (except as otherwise expressly provided therein), in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders (other than with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) and (ix) below, which shall only require the consent of the Lenders expressly set forth therein and not Required Lenders), provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 of this Agreement or the waiver of any covenant, Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment or reductions shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of a Lender), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement owed to a Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon owed to such Lender, or reduce any fees or premiums payable hereunder owed to such Lender, without the written consent of such Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that any waiver or deferral of Default or Event of Default or default interest, waiver or deferral of the MFN Protection, waiver of a mandatory prepayment or any modification, waiver or amendment to the financial covenant definitions or financial ratios or any component thereof or any other covenant in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in the interest rates or the fees or premiums for purposes of this clause (ii), (iii) except as otherwise provided hereunder, including without limitation pursuant to Refinancing Amendments or Section 2.24, postpone

174

the scheduled maturity of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment) of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10(a) or the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or premiums payable hereunder, or reduce or forgive the amount of, waive or excuse any such repayment (but not prepayment), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, deferral of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, covenant, Default, Event of Default, waiver of default interest, waiver or deferral of the MFN Protection, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or an extension of the final maturity of any Loan or the scheduled termination date of any Commitment), (iv) change any of the provisions of Section 2.18 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or reduce the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or reduce the percentage in any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be) (it being understood that, other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, including pursuant to (v) the Term Loan Exchange Notes, (w) Section 9.02(d) with respect to Replacement Term Loans, (x) any Incremental Facility Amendment (the consent requirements for which are set forth in Section 2.20), (y) a Refinancing Amendment (the consent requirements for which are set forth in Section 2.21) and (z) an Extension Offer pursuant to Section 2.24, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders or a particular Class of Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments on the Closing Date), (vi) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee under the Guarantees (except as provided herein or in the applicable Loan Document), without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as provided herein or in the applicable Loan Document), without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that any subordination of a lien permitted hereunder shall not constitute a release of a lien under this Section and the granting of any pari passu liens in connection with the incurrence of debt or the granting of liens otherwise permitted hereunder from time to time (including pursuant to amendments) shall not constitute a release of liens), (viii) modify the provisions of Section 9.04(e) in a manner that adversely affects the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(e), without the written consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPV at the time of such amendment, modification or waiver, (ix) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision of Section 6.12, 7.01 (solely as it relates to Section 6.12) or the definition of “First Lien Net Leverage Ratio” (or any of its component definitions (in each case, solely as used in such Section but not as used in other Sections of this Agreement)) without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, (x) decrease the amount of any mandatory prepayment to be received by the Initial Term Loan Lenders hereunder in a manner disproportionately adverse to the interests of such Class in relation to the Lenders of any other Class of Term Loans, in each case without the written consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the Initial Term Loans, (xi) change any provision of Section 7.04 (or any other applicable “waterfall” provision contained in any Loan Document) without the written consent of each Lender, (xii) [reserved] and (xiii) in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a re-pricing transaction in which any Class of Term Loans is refinanced with a replacement Class of term loans bearing (or is modified in such a manner such that the resulting term loans bear) a lower Yield, only the consent of the Lenders holding Term Loans subject to such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of Term Loans or modified Term Loans; provided, further, that no such agreement shall directly adversely amend or modify the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. In the event an amendment to this Agreement

175

or any other Loan Document is effected without the consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (to the extent permitted hereunder) and to which the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is not a party, the Borrower shall furnish a copy of such amendment to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment, modification or supplement to any intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement or in any document pertaining to any Indebtedness permitted hereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral, including any Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Loan, any Other Term Loan, Other Revolving Loan or Other Revolving Commitments, Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans, or any Additional Term Notes, Unrestricted Additional Term Notes, Refinancing Notes, Term Loan Exchange Notes and Permitted First Priority Replacement Debt or Permitted Second Priority Replacement Debt, for the purpose of adding the holders of such Indebtedness (or their senior representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto, in each case as contemplated by the terms of such intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable, together with (A) any immaterial changes and (B) material changes thereto in light of prevailing market conditions, which material changes shall be posted to the Lenders not less than five (5) Business Days before execution thereof and, if the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such changes within five (5) Business Days after posting, then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s entry into such intercreditor agreement (with such changes) is reasonable and to have consented to such intercreditor agreement (with such changes) and to the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s execution thereof, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (it being understood that junior Liens are not required to be pari passu with other junior Liens, and that Indebtedness secured by junior Liens may secured by Liens that are pari passu with, or junior in priority to, other Liens that are junior to the Liens securing the Obligations).

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (iv), (ix), (x) or (xi) of paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, the consent of a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) (or, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving directly and adversely affected Lenders, at least 50.1% of such directly and adversely affected Lenders) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), plus, if the Non-Consenting Lender is a Lender with Term Loans being required to assign Term Loans under this Section 9.02(c) due solely to its failure to waive, postpone or reduce the prepayment premium set forth in Section 2.11(a), the payment by the assignee of such prepayment premium as if such Term Loans subject to such assignment were subject to a Repricing Transaction, (b) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in clause (b)(ii) of this Section 9.02 and (c) such assignee shall have consented to the Proposed Change or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than an Issuing Bank), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such

Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an Issuing Bank, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Issuing Bank relating to the Loans and participations held by the Issuing Bank as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Issuing Bank any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that in the case of any such termination of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders and terminated Lenders after giving effect hereto) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) solely with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdco, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as such term is defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans outstanding as of the applicable date of determination (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (the “Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregale principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus premiums, accrued interest, fees and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, unless any such higher Applicable Margin applies after the Term Loan Maturity Date, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (without giving effect to nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of a prepayment of the applicable Refinanced Term Loans), (iv) the mandatory prepayment and optional prepayment provisions of the Replacement Term Loans shall not require more than pro rata payments and may permit optional prepayments and mandatory prepayments to be paid in respect of the Term Loans not constituting Refinanced Term Loans, and (v) the covenants, events of default and guarantees shall be not materially more restrictive (taken as a whole) (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than the covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable to any period after the maturity date in respect of the Refinanced Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

(e) The Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and all other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, be automatically released (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date of this Agreement, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party or in connection with the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with this Section 9.02), (v) to the extent such property constitutes Excluded Property, (vi) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty (in accordance with the following sentence) to the extent such release of a Guarantor is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (vii) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent comprised of Excluded Property or otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Additionally, the

177

Lenders, Issuing Bank, and all other Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably agree that each Subsidiary Loan Party shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary. The Lenders, Issuing Bank, and all other Secured Parties, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Loan Party’s Guaranty or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender, Issuing Bank or other Secured Party.

(f) 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 applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment 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 pursuant to Sections 9.02(b)(v) or 9.02(b)(vi) or each directly and adversely affected Lender pursuant to Sections 9.02(b)(ii), 9.02(b)(iii) or 9.02(b)(vi) that, by its terms, adversely affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately in relation to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(g) This Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) solely with the written consent of the Required Lenders and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. Further, (i) the Aggregate LC Sublimit may be increased with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and (ii) the percentages set forth in clause (x) of the definition of LC Sublimit may be adjusted with the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order to correct or cure (x) errors, omissions, defects, (y) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (z) incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document, in each case and the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof and (ii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may (and the Borrower, solely to the extent required pursuant to the Fee Letter, shall), without the input or consent of the Lenders, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the “flex” provisions of the Fee Letter. Guarantees, collateral documents, security documents, intercreditor agreements, and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and may be amended, modified, terminated or waived, and consent to any departure therefrom may be given, without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, modification, waiver or consent is given in order to (x) comply with local law or advice of counsel or (y) cause such guarantee, collateral document, security document or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Sections 2.20, 2.21, 2.24 and 2.25.

178

(i) Subject to the provisos of this paragraph, for purposes of any amendment, modification, waiver or consent (other than pursuant to Sections 9.02(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that directly and adversely affects any Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender disproportionately in relation to other affected Lenders) under any Loan Document, any Loans held by an Affiliated Lender (other than any Affiliated Institutional Lender) shall be automatically deemed to be voted in the same proportion as all other Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders; provided that (a) in the event that any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code shall be instituted by or against the Borrower, each Affiliated Lender (other than any Affiliated Institutional Lender) shall acknowledge and agree that they are each “insiders” under Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as such, the claims associated with the Loans and Commitments owned by it shall not be included in determining whether the applicable class of creditors holding such claims has voted to accept a proposed plan for purposes of Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code, or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing designation is deemed unenforceable for any reason, each Affiliated Lender (other than any Affiliated Institutional Lender) shall vote in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; and (c) for purposes of this paragraph, for the avoidance of doubt, Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to not include Affiliated Institutional Lenders (and the foregoing limitations shall not apply in respect of Affiliated Institutional Lenders).

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or consent hereunder, in no event shall Affiliated Institutional Lenders exclusively constitute Required Lenders in and of themselves.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after receipt of reasonably detailed documentation therefor, (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Agents (in addition to one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction shared with the Burrower to the extent acceptable to such counsel and the Borrower), in connection with due diligence performed in connection with the arrangement of the credit facilities provided for herein, the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and not paid on the Closing Date or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, and other Secured Parties (in addition to a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and in the event a conflict of interest arises, one additional primary counsel for the conflicted parties (taken as a whole)) in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, including rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder; provided, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for any third party advisor or consultants (in addition to those set forth in the immediately preceding clause (iii)), except following an Event of Default with respect to which the Required Lenders have accelerated the Loans or are pursing remedies, in which case the Borrower shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of one additional advisor to the extent the Borrower has provided its prior written consent (in its sole discretion).

179

(b) Without duplication of the expense reimbursement obligations pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the other Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, the Documentation Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, losses, claims, damages, actual liabilities and related expenses, excluding in any event lost profits, but (x) including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the lndemnitees (and, to the extent reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and, in the event a conflict of interest arises, one additional counsel for the conflicted Indemnitees (taken as a whole)) and any third party advisors or consultants, solely to the extent the Borrower has consented to the retention of such third party advisor or consultant and (y) excluding any allocated costs of in-house counsel, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Holdco, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, enforcement or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any facility currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdco, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto and whether or not such matter is initiated by Holdco, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or shareholders, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that, no Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Parties will be indemnified (a) for its or any of its Related Indemnified Parties’ willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence (to the extent determined in a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction), (b) for its or any of its Related Indemnified Parties’ material breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents (to the extent determined in a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction), (c) for any dispute among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by Holdco, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any claims against an Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger, a Joint Bookrunner or the Documentation Agent in their capacity as such and subject to clause (a) above) or (d) any settlement effected without Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s prior written consent or if there is a final judgment against an Indemnitee in any such proceedings, the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section; provided further that (1) the Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnitee is a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (2) to the extent of any amounts paid to an Indemnitee in respect of this Section 9.03 for Indemnified Liabilities, such Indemnitee, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to it if, pursuant to operation of any of the foregoing clauses (a) through (e), such Indemnitee was not entitled to receipt of such amount.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is

180

sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon (i) in the case of unpaid amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time, (ii) in the case of unpaid amounts owing to the Issuing Bank in respect of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, its share of the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Exposure and unused Multicurrency Revolving Commitments at such time and (iii) in the case of unpaid amounts owing to the Issuing Bank in respect of any U.S. Letter of Credit, its share of the aggregate U.S. Revolving Exposure and unused U.S. Revolving Commitments at such time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of Holdco, the Borrower, any Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, any other party hereto or any Indemnitee shall assert, and each such Person hereby waives and releases, any claim against any other such Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or referred to herein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each such Person further agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided that the foregoing shall in no event limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under clause (b) above.

(e) In case any proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnitee for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such indemnitee, then such indemnitee will promptly notify the Borrower of the commencement of any proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to do so will not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that the Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding the above, following such notification, the Borrower may elect in writing to assume the defense of such proceeding, and, upon such election, the Borrower will not be liable for any legal costs subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee (other than reasonable costs of investigation and providing evidence) in connection therewith, unless (i) the Borrower has failed to provide counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, (ii) counsel provided by the Borrower reasonably determines its representation of such Indemnitee would present it with a conflict of interest or (iii) the Indemnitee reasonably determines that there are actual conflicts of interest between the Borrower and the Indemnitee, including situations in which there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnitee which are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no party hereto or any Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks or SyndTrak Online), in each case, except to the extent any such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee (or its officers, directors, employees, Related Parties or Affiliates).

(g) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts due under this Section shall be payable within thirty (30) days after receipt of reasonably detailed documentation therefor.

181

(h) This Section 9.03 shall not apply to Taxes, except for Taxes which represent costs, losses, claims, etc. with respect to a non-Tax claim.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective registered successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as otherwise permitted herein, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any such attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Lender otherwise 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (solely to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
