ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make an Initial Term Loan to the Borrowers in Dollars on the Closing Date, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment, in each case, by making immediately available funds available in accordance with Section 2.04. The Loans shall be available as ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Immediately prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Lenders has such Commitments in such aggregate principal amounts as set forth under the caption “Commitment” on Schedule 2.01.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan to the Borrowers shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type, made by Lenders ratably in accordance with their Percentages. 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. The Loans shall amortize as set forth in Section 2.07(a).

(b) Each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Borrowing by the Borrowers is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five Interest Periods in respect of Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers 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 Term Maturity Date, any Extended Maturity Date or any Incremental Maturity Date, as applicable.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of ABR Loans, not later than 10:00 am, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or email of a properly executed PDF to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrowers. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be the Closing Date;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of a Eurodollar Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrowers’ account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, 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 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it to the Borrowers hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, 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 Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account of the Borrowers as is designated by the Borrowers in the Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to 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 2.05 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.05. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each

such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders 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 2.05, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or email of a properly executed PDF to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrowers.

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election.

If any such Interest Election Request made by the Borrowers requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to one of its Eurodollar Loans prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Loan is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Loan shall be continued as a Eurodollar Loan with the same Interest Period as previously was applicable thereto; provided that, if such continuation would result in a violation of Section 2.02(d), then such Eurodollar Loan shall instead be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders (unless such Event of Default is an Event of Default under Section 7.01(h) or Section 7.01(i), in which case no such request shall be required), so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no

outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.06 Termination of Commitments. Unless terminated prior thereto, the Commitments shall terminate at the earlier to occur of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date and the making of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.07 Promise to Repay Loan; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender, amortization payments equal to 1.0% per annum of the original principal amount of the Loans, with payments made on the first Business Day to occur after the date that is 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2018) in equal installments. To the extent not previously repaid, all unpaid Loans shall be paid in full by the Borrowers on the Term Maturity Date, the Incremental Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date applicable to such Loans.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.07(c) shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error 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 Borrowers to repay the Loans made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit F. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including, to the extent requested by any assignee, after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans.

(a) All Loans shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 2.07(a).

(b) Subject to Section 2.08(a), prior to any repayment of any Borrowing, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such selection not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, on the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Percentages at the time of such repayment).

Section 2.09 Voluntary Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than as provided in Section 2.09(b)), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto provided in accordance with Section 2.08(b).

(b) All prepayments under this Section 2.09 shall be subject to Section 2.15 and shall be accompanied by (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and (ii) in the event that, on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Borrowers undertake a Repricing Transaction, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (x) in the case of Repricing Transaction under clause (a) of the definition of a Repricing Transaction, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans voluntarily prepaid or refinanced, (y) in the case of a Repricing Amendment, a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment and (z) in the case of a Repricing Transaction occurring under clause (c) of the definition of Repricing Transaction, each Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be entitled to receive a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans held by it as determined immediately prior to it being so replaced.

(c) Any optional prepayments of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be applied to scheduled amortization installments hereunder and to the payment due at the Final Maturity Date thereof as directed by the Borrowers (or, absent direction by the Borrowers, in direct order of maturity thereof).

Section 2.10 Mandatory Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, no later than ten Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a) or Section 5.04(b) with respect to each fiscal quarter, if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the applicable quarter exceeds 5.00 to 1.00, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount (if positive) equal to (i) 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal quarter then ended minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any optional prepayments of Loans made during such fiscal quarter; provided that the percentage of Excess Cash Flow for purposes of Section 2.10(a)(i) for any fiscal quarter with respect to which Excess Cash Flow is measured shall be reduced to (x) 50% if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such

fiscal quarter is less than or equal to 5.00:1.00 but greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and (y) 0% if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal quarter is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 (such prepayment being an “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment”).

(b) No later than five Business Days following the receipt by the Borrowers of any Net Proceeds of any Disposition [***] (the Net Proceeds of any such Disposition, if any, not required to be repaid pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), the “Retained Asset Sale Proceeds”).

(c) Prepayments of Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be applied first, to scheduled installments of principal of the Facility occurring within the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the date of the applicable prepayment and, second, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent, (A) for the account of the Administrative Agent, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (the “Agency Fee”) and (B) for the account of each applicable Lender, fees payable to such Lender in the amounts set forth in the Fee Letter, and (ii) the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Collateral Agent, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrowers and the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agency Fee”).

(b) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12 Interest.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Loan plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Borrowers shall pay interest on such overdue amount, 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 2.12 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans in Section 2.12(a); provided that this Section 2.12(c) shall not apply to any Default or Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, and upon the Term Maturity Date, the Incremental Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as applicable; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, 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 Eurodollar 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 computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable pursuant to this Section 2.12, and (i) if based on the Alternate Base Rate, a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be; or (ii) otherwise, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

Section 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice to the Borrowers and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request given by the Borrowers with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrowers.

Section 2.14 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any Tax, costs, expenses or other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender (including a condition similar to the events described in clause (i) above in the form of a Tax, cost or expense) (except in each case for (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to the Borrowers or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (except in each case for (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender (for the account of such Lender), such additional amount or

amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in connection therewith.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by such Lender or as a consequence of the Commitments to make any of the foregoing, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered in connection therewith.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) As promptly as possible after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Lender shall notify the Borrowers thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the 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 Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, 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 deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except to the extent such withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent in regards to payments hereunder determines in its good faith discretion that it is required to deduct Indemnified Taxes from such payments by applicable law, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or such other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or such other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes payable on account of any obligation of the Borrowers and upon the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for such Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) without duplication of any amounts indemnified under Section 2.16(a)) imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid directly by) the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than expenses attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that a certificate as to the amount of such payment, liability, imposition or assessment and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

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

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

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of one of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to one of the Borrowers as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time

thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

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

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

(g) The Administrative Agent (and any assignee or successor) shall deliver to the Borrowers, on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, either (i) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments (and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a United States person with respect to such payments) or (ii) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, whichever is applicable, with the effect that the Borrowers can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and

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

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. 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 to the applicable account designated to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder 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 hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall in each case be made in Dollars. All payments of other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due from the Borrowers hereunder, such funds shall be applied first, to Administrative Agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts of such fees and expenses payable to them; third, to interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts of such interest and fees payable to them; and fourth, to the principal balance of the Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to such Lender’s Percentage.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Loans 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 Loans 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 Loans and participations in Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.17(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.17(c) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment by the Borrowers is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 2.04(b) or Section 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the

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

Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Agent/Lender, 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 (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16, as applicable, in the future and (y) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, 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 (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Agent/Lender.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or each Lender affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full in cash to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04 (it being understood that, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the replacement Lender or the

Borrowers shall be responsible for paying the processing and recordation fee described in Section 9.04(b)(vi)); provided that the assignment shall be effective regardless of whether the Non-Consenting Lender executes the applicable Assignment and Assumption.

Section 2.19 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all such Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.20 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the Borrowers may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.20, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, agree with one or more Lenders to extend the Term Maturity Date or the Incremental Maturity Date, as applicable, then applicable to such Lender’s Loan, and otherwise modify the economic terms of any such Loans or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by modifying the interest rate, premiums or fees payable and/or the amortization schedule in respect of such Loans or any portion thereof (each such extension, an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders whose Loans have the same Term Maturity Date or Incremental Maturity Date, as applicable, that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.20, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each such Lender holding such Loans) and on the same terms to each such Lender, which Extension Offer may be conditioned as determined by the Borrowers and set forth in such offer. In connection with each Extension, the Borrowers will provide notification to Administrative Agent (for distribution to the applicable Lenders), no later than 30 days (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the maturity of the applicable Loans to be extended of the requested new maturity date for the proposed Extension Loans (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender responses. The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.20. In connection with any such Extension, each applicable Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to the applicable due date therefor, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice of its desire to so participate. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer (referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”) by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension.

(b) Each Extension shall be subject to the following:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would immediately result therefrom after giving effect to such Extension;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization, optional prepayment terms, premium, required prepayment dates, final maturity date (which shall, subject to clause (iii) below, be determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and covenants and other provisions applicable to periods after the Final Maturity Date of any non-Extension Loans, the Extension Loans of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have terms that are no more favorable in any material respect, taken as a whole, than the applicable Loans prior to the related Extension Offer;

(iii) the final maturity date of the Extension Loans shall be later than the Final Maturity Date of the Loans that are not being so extended, and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Extension Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Loans subject to an Extension Offer that are not so extended;

(iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrowers pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Loans shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative principal amounts thereof (not to exceed any Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders accepted such Extension Offer;

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

(vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers.

(c) The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) that a minimum amount (to be determined in the Borrowers’ discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $25,000,000, unless another lesser amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) of Loans be tendered. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.17 will not apply to Extensions of Loans pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.20, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Loans that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans not extended pursuant to such Extension Offer, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches of Loans created pursuant to an Extension (including without limitation amending the definition of “Applicable Percentage” to effectuate the payment of different rates and fees to be made to those Lenders who have agreed to extend the maturity date of their Loans), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.20,

and any such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Extension Amendment shall modify in any respect any Loans of a Lender without the written consent of such Lender. All Extension Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Secured Obligations.

Section 2.21 Increase in Commitments.

(a) The Borrowers may, any time or from time to time after the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the earlier of (A) sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and (B) the date upon which a Successful Syndication is achieved, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Facility Request”) request the establishment of incremental or additional term loan facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”, the commitments thereunder, the “Incremental Term Commitments” and the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”). Any such Incremental Term Facility may be implemented by increasing the amount of loans and commitments under the existing Facility or by adding a new facility to this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.21, the Incremental Term Facilities shall be funded on the relevant Increased Amount Date; provided that no Incremental Term Facility shall be incurred on such date to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Facility when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Facilities then outstanding exceeds $150,000,000.

(b) Each such Incremental Facility Request shall specify the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the Incremental Term Commitments and the date the Incremental Term Loans shall be made available, 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 lesser number of days as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of each Lender or other Person (each, an “Incremental Lender”) to whom the Incremental Term Commitments have been allocated, which allocation shall be made at the Borrowers’ sole discretion. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Term Commitment (it being understood that the Borrowers have no obligation to approach any Lender, and no Lender is committing to provide any Incremental Term Commitment until such time as such Lender agrees in writing to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Commitment).

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing or would immediately result from the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility;

(ii) the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Facility shall be in compliance with all obligations under Regulation U;

(iii) to the extent that such Incremental Term Loans are not made as part of the Term Facility (in which case all terms thereof shall be identical to the terms of the Term Facility):

(A) the final maturity date under any Incremental Term Facility shall not be earlier than the Term Maturity Date;

(B) the amortization requirements for any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrowers and the Incremental Lenders thereunder so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Term Facility (without giving effect to any prepayments (other than amortization));

(C) the Incremental Term Facility shall not be (x) guaranteed by any Person who is not, or will not then be a Guarantor or (y) secured by any assets not constituting or which will not then constitute Collateral under the Loan Documents;

(iv) if the All-In Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Facility shall be 0.50% per annum or more higher than the corresponding All-In Yield on the Term Facility as of the date of incurrence, then the All-In Yield applicable to the Term Facility shall be increased to cause the then applicable All-In Yield for the Term Facility to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% per annum (this provision, the “MFN Protection”); and

(v) the terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Commitments shall be as agreed between the Borrowers and the applicable Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments, subject to satisfying the requirements of this Section 2.21(c) and the terms of such Incremental Term Commitments shall be effected pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement (an “Incremental Amendment”) executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and one or more Incremental Lenders; provided that (x) such Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10 hereof on a pro rata basis (or on a basis less than pro rata), but not on a basis that is more favorable than pro rata and (y) with respect to terms not addressed by this Section 2.21(c), if such terms (other than pricing terms) of the Incremental Term Commitments are not, taken as a whole, substantially consistent with the terms of the Term Facility, such terms shall not be more restrictive, when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Facility (except for terms applying after the Term Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, as applicable).

(d) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Commitment becomes effective or Incremental Term Loans are funded, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender to the extent not already a Lender, shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Term Loan; provided that any Person that becomes an Incremental Lender that is not already a Lender hereunder shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to the

extent consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Incremental Lender.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, any Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Loans. Each Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Parent and each Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Agents and the Lenders on the Closing Date and on the effective date of any Extension, except as expressly provided below, with respect to itself and each other Loan Party, that:

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized, and validly existing in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, (c) is in good standing (to the extent that such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) and qualified to do business in each jurisdiction (including its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation) where such qualification is required, except where the failure, individually or in the aggregate, to so qualify or to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and each other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby to which it is or will be a party and to borrow and otherwise obtain credit hereunder.

Section 3.02 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party, and the Borrowings hereunder and the Transactions (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, stockholder, limited liability company or partnership action required to be obtained by such Loan Party and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of such Loan Party, (B) any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable order of any court or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which such Loan Party or any of its property is or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, give rise to a right of or result in any cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation (including any payment) or to a loss of a material benefit under any such indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument, where any such conflict, violation, breach or default referred to in clause (b)(i)(B), clause (b)(i)(C) or clause (b)(ii) above could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any Collateral or any Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party other than Liens pursuant to the Collateral Agreement.

Section 3.03 Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Parent and such Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (c) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

Section 3.04 Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions except for (a) the filing of UCC financing statements, (b) such consents, authorizations, filings or other actions that have either (i) been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or (ii) are listed on Schedule 3.04, and (c) such actions, consents, approvals, registrations or filings, the failure to be obtained or made which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt this Section 3.04 in no way limits Section 3.08(e).

Section 3.05 Financial Statements. There has heretofore been furnished to the Lenders the unaudited balance sheet as of the Closing Date of the Borrowers and Parents on a combined basis, which balance sheet fairly presents the financial position of such Persons as of the dates thereof.

Section 3.06 No Material Adverse Effect. Since June 5, 2018, there has been no event or occurrence which has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, any Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.07 Title to Properties; Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. This Section 3.07 pertains to all Property of the Loan Parties.

(a) Such Loan Party has good and valid title, in all material respects, to all Property, subject solely to Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

(b) Schedule 3.07(b) sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization of each Loan Party (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Subsidiaries) and, as to each such Person, the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by such Loan Party, respectively, indicating the ownership thereof. As of the Closing Date, there are no Subsidiary Guarantors.

(c) All Equity Interests in each Borrower issued, owned, held or Controlled by the applicable Parent and all Equity Interests issued, owned, held or Controlled by each Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors are fully paid, and there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of such Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, except as set forth on Schedule 3.07(c). The constitutional documents of the issuers of all Equity Interests constituting Collateral and required to be pledged pursuant to the Collateral Agreement do not restrict or inhibit any transfer of such Equity Interests (other than restrictions imposed by applicable law and rights

of first offer or first refusal or similar restrictions or limitations as may be commonly included in such constitutional documents), including both (i) pursuant to a collateral transfer of such Equity Interest and (ii) a direct transfer of such Equity Interests (for example, pursuant to enforcement of the Collateral Agreement or similar agreement).

Section 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Laws; Relevant Regulatory Bodies; Lack of Impact on Lenders.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.08, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings at law or in equity or by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority or in arbitration now pending against, or, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, threatened against or affecting, such Loan Party or any business, property or rights of any such Person (i) that involve any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party or the Transactions or (ii) that individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) There are no outstanding judgments against such Loan Party that individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) Wilmington Trust, National Association, shall act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities, as a potential Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Wilmington Trust, National Association, to act as its agent for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 or Section 8.13 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Agreement, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII (including Section 8.12) and Article IX as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

(c) Except as provided in Section 8.06, the provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any co-agents, sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact or other appointees thereof and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 8.02 Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an 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 an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include a Person serving as an 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 the Loan Parties or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it being understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar term) herein or in any other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied obligations arising under any agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom; and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein;

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing 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) or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent; provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law;

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7.01 and Section 9.08) or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, with the consent or at the request of the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment;

(e) shall 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 conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection, maintenance or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Agreement, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent;

(f) shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is received by such Agent from the Borrowers or a Lender; and

(g) shall be responsible in respect of any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, monitoring or filing any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing or to any re-recording, re-filing or re-depositing of any thereof.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Agents. Any Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise

authenticated by an appropriate Person. Any Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by an appropriate Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, any Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Any Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may include counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. Without in any way limiting Section 8.13, any Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more co-agents, sub-agents and/or attorneys-in-fact appointed by such Agent. Any Agent and any such co-agents, sub-agents and/or attorneys-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such co-agents, sub-agents and/or attorneys-in-fact and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such co-agents, sub-agents and/or attorneys-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents and/or such sub-agent acted at the direction of such Agent in connection with the acts or omissions giving rise to such gross negligence or misconduct.

Section 8.06 Resignation of the Agents. Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall be a financial institution with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution with an office in the United States, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. During an Agent Default Period, the Borrowers and the Required Lenders may remove the relevant Agent subject to the execution and delivery by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders of removal and liability release agreements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Agent, which removal shall be effective upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor as such Agent. Upon any proposed removal of an Agent during an Agent Default Period, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall be a financial institution with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution with an office in the United States, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. In the case of the resignation of an Agent, if no such successor shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral, as bailee, until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed), (b) except for indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed

Agent, 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 directly, until such time as the Required Lenders and the Borrowers appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.06 and (c) the Borrowers and the Lenders agree that in no event shall the retiring Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives have any liability to the Borrowers, 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 Agent to be appointed and to accept such appointment. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring, retired or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring, retired or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 8.06). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII (including Section 8.12) and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Joint Lead Arranger or Co-Manager shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, if any, as an Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 8.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file

such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Section 2.11, Section 8.12 and Section 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender 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, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Section 2.11, Section 8.12 and Section 9.05.

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

Section 8.10 Authorization for Certain Releases. With respect to releases and terminations, confirmations and subordinations delivered pursuant to Section 9.18, each Agent and each Lender (including in its capacities as a Lender and a potential Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty), hereby irrevocably authorizes either or both Agents to enter into such releases and terminations, confirmations and subordinations without further or additional consents being delivered by any Agent, any Lender or any Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (and in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent) will confirm in writing each Agent’s authority provided for in the previous sentence. For purposes of this Section 8.10 and Section 8.15, each Lender that is or becomes a Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty is executing this Agreement in its capacity as both or each of a Lender and/or Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty.

Section 8.11 Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty Regarding Collateral Matters.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 9.08(b), no Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty that obtains the benefits of the Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Collateral Agreement 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) unless such Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty shall also be a Lender or Agent hereunder and in such case, only in such Person’s capacity as a Lender or Agent and only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other

satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations arising under Secured Swap Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received notice of such Secured Swap Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests.

(b) The benefit of the Collateral Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral shall also extend to, secure and be available on a pro rata basis (as set forth in Section 9.23) to each Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty with respect to any obligations of the Borrowers arising under such Secured Swap Agreement until such obligations are paid in full or otherwise expire or are terminated (and notwithstanding that the outstanding Obligations have been repaid in full and the Commitments have terminated); provided that, with respect to any Secured Swap Agreement that remains secured after the counterparty thereto is no longer a Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty or the outstanding Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been repaid in full and the Commitments have terminated, the provisions of this Article VIII shall also continue to apply to such Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty in consideration of its benefits hereunder and each such Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such other documents, agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the continued applicability of the provisions of Article VIII.

Section 8.12 Indemnification. Each Lender severally agrees (a) to reimburse each Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of its applicable outstanding Loans)) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by such Agent, including reasonable counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

Section 8.13 Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents.

(a) This Section 8.13 shall not in any way limit Section 8.05. It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations or other institutions to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case

of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Collateral Agent appoint an additional institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent, collateral sub-agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either or both the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article VIII and of Section 9.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Agents shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Agents shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Agents and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Supplemental Collateral Agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent acted at the direction of such Agent in connection with the acts or omissions giving rise to such gross negligence or misconduct.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Loan Parties be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Loan Parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

Section 8.14 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold

Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Section 8.15 Enforcement. The authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties shall be vested in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement may be instituted and maintained by, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.01 and the Collateral Agreement for the benefit of each Lender (including in its capacities as a Lender and a potential Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising any enforcement rights, including setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.06 (subject to the terms of Section 2.17(c)), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Loan Parties under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; and provided, further, that, if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.01 and the Collateral Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.17(c), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. For purposes of Section 8.10 and this Section 8.15, each Lender that is or becomes a Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty is executing this Agreement in its capacity as both or each of a Lender and/or Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty.

(A) the Administrative Agent (such consent to be evidenced by its counter execution of the relevant Assignment and Assumption); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(B) the Borrowers; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an assignment to (1) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default with respect to a Borrower specified in clauses 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee (provided that, in the case of either of clauses (1) or (2), any liability of the Borrowers to an assignee under Section 2.14 or Section 2.16 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by the Borrowers in the absence of such assignment); provided that if the Borrowers shall fail to respond to a request for consent to an assignment within 10 Business Days of receipt of such request for consent, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented; provided further that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required in connection with the primary syndication of the Loans.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate, the amount of the Commitment and/or Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(F) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person, a Defaulting Agent/Lender or a Disqualified Institution.

The term “Approved Fund” shall mean any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any consent requirements otherwise set forth in this Section 9.04, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Loans to the Loan Parties on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed by the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis, in each case, subject to the following limitations:

(C) the Borrowers shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Loans in the Register.

(iv) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04 (b)(v), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.05; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Agent/Lender will constitute

a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Agent/Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder.

(v) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (as to its Commitments only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vi) The parties to each assignment shall deliver to, and for the account of, the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any administrative information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04 (b), and the processing and recordation fee referred to above (unless waived as set forth above), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural Person, the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries or a Disqualified Institution (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to exercise rights under and to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i) through (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) in respect of the foregoing with respect to such Participant may

exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements and limitations) of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 to the same extent as if it were the Lender from whom it obtained its participation and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any Change in Law. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its promissory note, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, and any such pledgee (other than a pledgee that is the Federal Reserve Bank or central bank) shall acknowledge in writing that its rights under such pledge are in all respects subject to the limitations applicable to the pledging Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions and (ii) shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or

prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Institution.

The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Managers their respective Affiliates or each Lender in connection with the enforcement and protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Co-Managers (including external counsel and the reasonable and documented allocated costs of internal counsel for the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Managers or any Lender); provided that, absent any conflict of interest, (x) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Co-Managers shall not be entitled to indemnification for the fees, charges or disbursements of more than one counsel in each jurisdiction, and (y) the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification for the fees, charges or disbursements of more than one counsel in each jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Managers each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, penalties, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan, the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not the Loan Parties, their subsidiaries, any Indemnitee or any other Person initiated or is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, penalties, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, nonappealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction (A) to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any of such Indemnitee’s Related Parties), (B) to arise from disputes solely among Indemnitees if such dispute (i) does not involve any action or inaction by the Loan Parties or their subsidiaries and (ii) is not related to any action by an Indemnitee in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Joint Lead Arranger or Co-Manager or (C) to have resulted from a material breach by such Indemnitee (or any such Indemnitee’s Related Parties) of its obligations under this Agreement the or other Loan Documents. In the event of any

of the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be indemnified whether or not such amounts are caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of any Indemnitee (except to the extent of gross negligence as specified above). In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable to the Loan Parties, or shall the Loan Parties (or any of their respective Affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of the Loan Parties or such Affiliates) be liable to any Indemnitee, for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall limit the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9.05. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Co-Manager or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c) This Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from non-Tax claims.

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and any Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers, against any and all obligations of the Borrowers, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender may have.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Agents or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any

single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Agents 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Loan Parties or therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Loan Parties in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Sections 2.20 and 2.21, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or otherwise modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, or the Collateral Agent with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) and (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers (or, as the case may be, the applicable other Loan Parties or the Borrowers, as the case may be) and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable and consented to by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, consented to by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that that any waiver of all or a portion of any post-default increase in interest rates shall be effective upon the consent of the Required Lenders;

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease any fees payable to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitments of any Lender);

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any Fees or any other payment hereunder is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than as a result of a waiver of a required prepayment or required offer to prepay pursuant to Section 2.10);

(iv) change the order of application of any amounts from the application thereof set forth in the applicable provisions of Section 2.17(b), Section 2.17(c) or Section 9.23 or change any provision hereof that establishes the pro rata treatment among the Lenders in a manner that would by such change alter the pro rata sharing or other pro rata treatment of the Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or any requirement of Article IV or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any

(vi) amend, modify or waive this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9.23) or any other Loan Document so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under the Loan Documents and Secured Obligations arising under Secured Swap Agreements or the definition of “Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty”, “Secured Swap Agreement”, “Secured Obligations” or “Secured Swap Obligations” (as defined in this Agreement or any applicable Loan Document), in each case in a manner adverse to any Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty without the written consent of any such Secured Swap Agreement Counterparty; and

(vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee of the Guarantors under the Collateral Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (except to the extent of a release in connection with a transaction permitted by Section 6.05);

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties, obligations, protections, privileges, indemnities or immunities of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of Loans of a Defaulting Agent/Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, Required Lenders or affected Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder; provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender, which affects such Defaulting Agent/Lender differently than other affected Lenders, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Agent/Lender, (ii) the Loans of such Defaulting Agent/Lender may not be extended without the consent of such Defaulting Agent/Lender and (iii) any amendment that reduces the principal amount of, rate of interest on or extends the final maturity of any Loan made by such Defaulting Agent/Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Agent/Lender. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

(c) Without the consent of any Lender, the Borrowers (or the applicable Loan Parties, as the case may be) and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be) and the Borrowers (or the applicable Loan Parties, as the case may be)

without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is executed and delivered in order to (i) cure an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in such Loan Document, (ii) make administrative and operational changes not adverse to any Lender, (iii) otherwise enhance the rights and benefits of Lenders, or (iv) adhere to local law or the reasonable advice of local counsel; provided that, in connection with this Section 9.08(d), in no event will the Administrative Agent be required to substitute its judgment for the judgment of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent may in all circumstances seek the approval of the Required Lenders, the affected Lenders or all Lenders in connection with any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may enter into any Incremental Amendment in accordance with Section 2.21 and any Extension Amendment in accordance with Section 2.20 and such Incremental Amendments and Extension Amendments shall be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document. In addition, in connection with the incurrence of any Loans intended to be secured on a pari passu or junior basis in right of priority to the Obligations or intended to be unsecured pursuant to any Incremental Amendment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, without the need to obtain consent of any other Lender, make changes to the Loan Documents reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to reflect the status of such Loans.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnities) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT

Each of the Lenders and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates furnished to it by or on behalf of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than information that (x) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Agreement, (y) has been independently developed by such Lender or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (z) was available to such Lender or such Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s actual knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any such Affiliate) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the regulatory (including self-regulatory) or supervisory requirements of any Governmental Authority (including bank examiners), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (ii) as part of reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities (including bank examiners) or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (iii) to its parent companies, Affiliates or other Related Parties, counsel or auditors or any market data collectors or any numbering, administration or settlement service providers to the lending industry (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (iv) to any Joint Lead Arranger, any Co-Manager, any Agent, any other Lender or any other party of any Loan Document and the Affiliates of each, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (vi) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16), (vii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as each such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in Section 9.16 and each such professional advisor shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (viii) with the consent of the Borrowers and (ix) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or this Agreement or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement. If a Lender or an Agent is requested or required to disclose any such information (other than to its bank examiners and similar regulators, or to internal or external auditors) pursuant to or as required by law or legal process or subpoena, then, to the extent reasonably practicable as permitted by law, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Loan Parties so that the Loan Parties may seek an

appropriate protective order and such Lender or Agent will cooperate, at the Loan Parties’ expense, with the reasonable requests of the Loan Parties (or the applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate) in seeking such protective order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any disclosure of confidential information be made to a Disqualified Institution.

Section 9.17 Communications.

(a) Delivery. (i) The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use all reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that they are obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the address referenced in Schedule 9.01). Nothing in this Section 9.17 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Managers, the Lenders or the Loan Parties to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(i) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b) Posting. The Borrowers further agree that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers and Co-Managers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,

100

shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Managers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Co-Managers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be under any obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC” to the extent the Borrowers determine that such Borrower Materials contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws; provided however that the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) any notification of changes in the terms of the Commitment and/or the Loans, and (3) the financial statements and certificates furnished by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(a), Section 5.04(b) and Section 5.04(c).

(c) Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its or their affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, 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 Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees.

(a) In the event that the Loan Parties convey, sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its assets (including the Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries) to another Person in a transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents or in the event any assets or property of the Loan Parties constitutes or becomes an Excluded Asset, then the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers, certifying that such termination or release is authorized and permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the

101

Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Loan Parties and at such Persons’ sole cost and expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets or property that are the subject of such disposition or to evidence that the Liens created by the Loan Documents do not extend to such Excluded Assets. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Equity Interests or assets shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or assets are so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

(b) When all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) are paid in full in cash, the Collateral Agreement and all Guarantees and Liens thereunder shall terminate, and the Loan Parties shall automatically be released from their respective obligations thereunder and the security interests in the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties shall automatically be released. At such time, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent confirming that all such Obligations have been satisfied, agree to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Loan Parties at such Persons’ expense to evidence and effectuate such termination and release of the Guarantees, or termination or release of Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Loan Parties and at the such Persons’ sole cost and expense to confirm the exclusion of any Excluded Asset from the Collateral.

(c) Authorizations for each release and termination specified in this Section 9.18 shall be required only to the extent required by Section 8.10.

Section 9.19 U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and Similar Legislation. Each Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and similar legislation, as applicable, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of such Person and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify it in accordance with such legislation. The Borrowers agree to furnish (or cause to be furnished) such information promptly upon request of a Lender or Agent. Each Agent and each Lender shall be responsible for satisfying its own requirements in respect of obtaining all such information.

Section 9.20 Judgment. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first mentioned currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

Section 9.21 Pledge and Guarantee Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary (including any provision that would otherwise apply notwithstanding other provisions or that is the beneficiary of other overriding language):

102

(a) no Excluded Assets shall constitute Collateral; and

(b) no grant of a Lien or provision of a Guarantee by any Person shall be required to the extent that such grant or such provision would, in the reasonable determination of the Lenders, result in the contravention of applicable law, unless such applicable law would be rendered ineffective with respect to the creation of the security interest hereunder pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions); provided that this Section 9.21 shall not prohibit the grant of a Lien or a provision of a guarantee at such time as the legal prohibition shall no longer be applicable and to the extent severable (which Lien shall attach immediately to any portion not subject to the prohibitions specified above).

(c) the following Collateral shall be automatically released without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person:

(i) upon a Disposition of Collateral expressly permitted hereunder to a non-Loan Party, the disposed-of Collateral;

(ii) upon the approval, authorization or ratification in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 9.08(b)(vii)) of the release of any Collateral, such Collateral;

(iii) upon a release of any Collateral under the terms of the Collateral Agreement or upon such Collateral no longer being required to be Collateral under the Loan Documents; or

(iv) upon any Guarantor no longer being required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, the Collateral owned by such Guarantor;

(d) a Guarantor shall be automatically released from its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person:

(i) upon such Guarantor no longer being required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;

(ii) upon the approval, authorization or ratification in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 9.08(b)(vii)); or

(iii) upon the release of such Guarantor under the terms of the Collateral Agreement.

The parties hereto agree that any pledge, guaranty or security or similar interest made or granted in contravention of this Section 9.21 shall be void ab initio, but only to the extent of such contravention.

Section 9.22 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties. The Borrowers hereby agree that subject to applicable

103

law, nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Agents, the Lenders and the Borrowers, or their equity holders or Affiliates. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction none of the Lenders is acting as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrowers, their management, equity holders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers or the Parents with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrowers on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, (iv) the Borrowers have consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (v) the Lenders may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates and no Lender has an obligation to disclose any such interests to the Borrowers or their Affiliates. The Borrowers further acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for making their own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

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

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