All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the audited financial statements described in SECTION 3.04, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. All amounts used for purposes of financial calculations required to be made shall be without duplication. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any test or covenant contained in this Agreement with respect to any period during which any Specified Transaction occurs, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such period and such Specified Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b) Issues Related to GAAP . If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as reasonably requested hereunder a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. In addition, the definitions set forth in the Loan Documents and any financial calculations required by the Loan Documents shall be computed to exclude (a) the effect of purchase accounting adjustments, including the effect of non-cash items resulting from any amortization, write-up, write-down or write-off of any assets or deferred charges (including without limitation intangible assets, goodwill and deferred financing costs in connection with the BCFWC Acquisition, any Permitted Acquisition or any merger, consolidation or other similar transaction permitted by this Agreement), (b) the application of ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging), ASC 480 (Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity) or ASC 718 (Stock Compensation) (to the extent the pronouncements in ASC 718 result in recording an equity award as a liability on the Consolidated balance sheet of BCF Holdings and its Subsidiaries in the circumstance where, but for the application of the pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity), (c) any mark-to-market adjustments to any derivatives (including embedded derivatives contained in other debt or equity instruments under ASC 815), (d) any non-cash compensation charges resulting from the application of ASC 718 and (e) any change to lease accounting rules from those in effect pursuant to ASC 840 (Leases) and other related lease accounting guidance as in effect on the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, the effects of FASB ASC 825 (Financial Instruments) and ASC 470-20 (Debt with Conversion and Other Options) on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

SECTION 1.04 Rounding . Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

SECTION 1.05 Times of Day . Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

SECTION 1.06 Certifications . All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such person’s individual capacity.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a loan (a “ Term B Loan ”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Commitment of such Lender. Any amount borrowed under this SECTION 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Commitment. The Term B Loans may from time to time be LIBO Loans or Prime Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with SECTIONS 2.03 and 2.09.

(b) Each Additional Term B-1 Lender agree to make term loans to the Borrower in Dollars (each, a “ Term B-1 Loan ”) on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of its Additional Term B-1 Commitments and (ii) each Converted Term B Loan of each Amendment No. 1 Consenting Lender shall be converted into a Term B-1 Loan of such Lender effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Lender’s Converted Term B Loan immediately prior to such conversion. Amounts repaid with respect to Term B-1 Loans may not be reborrowed.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Lenders make the Term B Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed and whether the Term B Loans will initially be LIBO Loans or Prime Rate Loans (and, if LIBO Loans, the Interest Period for such Loans). Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term B Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds.

(b) Except as set forth in SECTION 2.09, SECTION 2.10 and SECTION 2.11, Term Loans shall be either Prime Rate Loans or LIBO Loans as the Borrower may request (which request shall substantially be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 ) subject to and in accordance with this SECTION 2.03. Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Term B Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Term B Loan; provided , however , that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term B Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Note. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrower. Subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 2.03 and the provisions of SECTION 2.11, Borrowings of Term Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, but in any event no more than ten (10) Borrowings of LIBO Loans may be outstanding at any time.

(c) The procedures for the funding of Incremental Term Loans shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

(d) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date each Additional Term B-1 Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term B-1 Loan to be made by such Additional Term B-1 Lender pursuant to its Additional Term B-1 Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Additional Term B-1 Lenders in immediately available funds.

(a) The principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, an “ Installment ”) of 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount thereof on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (to be decreased in accordance with SECTION 2.17(f) in the event of any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans made hereunder), each on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “ Installment Date ”) commencing on the first Installment Date after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date with the entire remaining unpaid balance due on the Maturity Date of the Term B-1 Loans.

(b) The principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of any Series shall amortize as provided in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

(c) The principal amount of the Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall amortize as provided in the applicable Extended Term Loan Amendment (to be decreased in accordance with SECTION 2.17(f) in the event of any mandatory prepayments of such Extended Term Loan made hereunder or as directed by the Borrower in the event of any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans hereunder).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the amounts required to be paid with respect to the Term Loans of any Class shall be reduced in connection with any prepayment of the Term Loans of such Class in accordance with SECTION 2.16 or 2.17, as applicable; and (y) the Term Loans of each Class, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of Term Loans denominated in Dollars under this Agreement (“ Incremental Term Loans ”). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “ Incremental Effective Date ”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i) before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans on the Incremental Effective Date no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B-1 Loans outstanding at the time of such borrowing;

(iii) all other terms applicable to such Incremental Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees and interest rates, amortization (other than the Maturity Date and subject to clause (ii) above), optional prepayments or redemption terms, in each case, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans subject to the proviso contained in the definition of Applicable Margin), to the extent not consistent with or to the extent materially more onerous taken as a whole, than those terms applicable to the then outstanding Term B-1 Loans except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date of any Class of Term Loans outstanding on the Incremental Effective Date immediately prior to the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) borrowed following the Closing Date, when aggregated with the principal amount of Qualifying Secured Debt issued pursuant to clause (w)(ii) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” would not exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount;

(v) on a Pro Forma Basis, (x) the Borrower would be in compliance with each of the Financial Performance Covenants for the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been or are then required to have been delivered and (y) the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been or are then required to have been delivered would be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.0; and

(vi) the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement) in order to ensure that the Incremental Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Security Documents and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Assignee to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loans (a “ Incremental Term Lender ”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Term Loan. Any Incremental Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Series”) of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above, any Incremental Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans.

(c) The Incremental Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans (an “ Incremental Term Loan Amendment ”) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in clause (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than those consents provided pursuant this Agreement). Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “ Existing Term Loan Class ”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “ Extended Term Loans ”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this SECTION 2.06. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Class) (an “ Extension Request ”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be consistent with the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that:

(i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment;

(ii) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the interest margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Term Lenders to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment;

(iii) the Term Loan Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply after the latest Maturity Date of any Class of Term Loans outstanding on the effective date of the Term Loan Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans; and

(iv) no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted are repaid in full unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Class.

(b) Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (an “ Extension Series ”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans.

(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class subject to such Extension Request (such Lender an “ Extending Term Lender ”) converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “ Extension Election ”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Borrower). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to an Extension Request, Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.

(d) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “ Term Loan Extension Amendment ”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in clause (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement). Each Term Loan Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Term Loan Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement) in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Security Documents and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(a) Upon the request of any Lender, the Term Loans made by such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower.

(b) Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on a schedule attached to each Note delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Term Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Term Loan, each payment of interest on any such Term Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided , however , that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes.

(c) Upon receipt of an affidavit and indemnity of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor at such Lender’s expense.

(a) Subject to SECTION 2.12, each Prime Rate Loan of any Class shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the then Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans of such Class.

(b) Subject to SECTION 2.09 through SECTION 2.12, each LIBO Loan of any Class shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Class for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBO Loans of such Class.

(c) Accrued interest on all Term Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and after such maturity on demand.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time, on three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto and to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding the date of any conversion), (i) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings of LIBO Loans, or (ii) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of LIBO Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (iii) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of LIBO Loans to a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, subject in each case to the following:

(i) No Borrowing of Term Loans may be converted into, or continued as, LIBO Loans at any time when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (nothing contained herein being deemed to obligate the Borrower to incur Breakage Costs upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default unless the Obligations are accelerated);

(ii) If less than a full Borrowing of Term Loans is converted, such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based upon the respective principal amounts of the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such Lenders immediately prior to such conversion;

(iii) The aggregate principal amount of Prime Rate Loans being converted into or continued as LIBO Loans shall be in an integral of $1,000,000 and at least $5,000,000;

(iv) Each Lender shall effect each conversion by applying the proceeds of its new LIBO Loan or Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, to its Term Loan being so converted;

(v) The Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of LIBO Loans effected by a conversion or in respect to the Borrowing of LIBO Loans being continued as LIBO Loans shall commence on the date of conversion or the expiration of the current Interest Period applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;

(vi) A Borrowing of LIBO Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the applicable Borrower pays all Breakage Costs incurred in connection with such conversion (it being understood that no Amendment No. 1 Consenting Lender shall be entitled to receive any amount under this Section 2.09(a)(vi) in connection with the Converted Term B Loans); and

(vii) Each request for a conversion or continuation of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) If the Borrower does not give notice to convert any Borrowing of LIBO Loans, or does not give notice to continue, or does not have the right to continue, any Borrowing as LIBO Loans, in each case as provided in SECTION 2.09(a) above, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Borrower, promptly give each Lender notice of any conversion, in whole or part, of any Term Loan made by such Lender.

SECTION 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest for Term Loans . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Borrowing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) Reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof) for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent shall deliver promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the same), (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans unless withdrawn by the Borrower.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Change in Law occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBO Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBO Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower, such Lender may (x) declare that LIBO Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a LIBO Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (y) require that all outstanding LIBO Loans made by such Lender be converted to Prime Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBO Loans shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in SECTION 2.09(b). In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights hereunder, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBO Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBO Loans of such Lender, shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBO Loans.

(b) For purposes of this SECTION 2.11, a notice to the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.11(a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any LIBO Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and otherwise such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.12 Default Interest . After the occurrence of any Event of Default pursuant to SECTION 7.01(a) or SECTION 7.01(b) and at all times thereafter while such Event of Default is continuing, interest shall accrue on all Term Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrowers (after as well as before judgment, as and to the extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days as applicable) (the “ Default Rate ”) equal to the rate (including the Applicable Margin) in effect from time to time plus two percent (2.00%) per annum and such interest shall be payable on demand.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any holding company of any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) subject any Credit Party or any Loan Party to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to LIBO Loans under this Agreement (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.23 (for the avoidance of doubt, no duplication of the Borrower’s obligation under Section 2.23 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or other Taxes is intended under this clause (ii)) and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Credit or Loan Party); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting LIBO Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of those incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Loan or to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of those incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender or to reduce the amount in any material respect of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital 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 the Term Loans made by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would 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), then from time to time the Borrower will 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.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.14 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) 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 Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay without premium (except as provided in SECTION 2.19(d)) or penalty (but subject to payment of Breakage Costs as provided herein) outstanding Term Loans of any Class in whole or in part, (x) with respect to LIBO Loans, upon at least two (2)

Business Days’ prior written, telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 noon, and (y) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, on the same Business Day if written, telex or facsimile notice is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, subject in each case to the following limitations:

(i) No prepayment of any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.16 so long as any Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted remain outstanding unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata (or greater proportionate) prepayment of Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class;

(ii) All prepayments shall be applied to reduce scheduled remaining installments on the applicable Term Loans as directed by the Borrower;

(iii) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of any Class shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans of such Class are prepaid (except as otherwise directed by the Borrower). Each partial prepayment of LIBO Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (but in no event less than $10,000,000). No prepayment of LIBO Loans of any Class shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.16 other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrower reimburses the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $5,000,000 (unless all such outstanding LIBO Loans are being prepaid in full); and

(iv) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount, Type and Class of Term Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBO Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were made. Each notice of prepayment shall be revocable, provided that, within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated with the revocation of any notice of prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each applicable Lender of the principal amount, Type and Class of Term Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.

(b) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender as set forth below for any loss incurred or to be incurred by the Lenders in the reemployment of the funds resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, conversion to Prime Rate Loans or acceleration by virtue of, and after, the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) of any LIBO Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such LIBO Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan. Such loss shall be the amount (herein, collectively, “ Breakage Costs ”) as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid, not prepaid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such LIBO Loan (but specifically excluding any Applicable Margin), for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow or failure to prepay to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing of a LIBO Loan with Prime Rate Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan or the failure to prepay a LIBO Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such LIBO Loan or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. Any Lender demanding reimbursement for such loss shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined and such amounts shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.

(c) Whenever any partial prepayment of Term Loans are to be applied to LIBO Loans of any Class, such LIBO Loans shall be prepaid in the chronological order of their Interest Payment Dates or as the Borrower may otherwise designate in writing.

(d) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in SECTION 2.16 (which provisions shall not be applicable to this SECTION 2.16(d)), the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans of any Class from Lenders electing to participate in such prepayments at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non-pro rata basis (each, a “ Discounted Voluntary Prepayment ”) pursuant to the procedures described in this SECTION 2.16(d); provided that (A) no Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made unless (A) immediately after giving effect to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrower is in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the Financial Performance Covenants as of the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter and (iii) the Borrower shall have Excess Availability (as defined in the ABL Facility) plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least $150,000,000, (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis and (C) the Borrower on the date such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment is made, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating (1) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (after giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), (2) that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this SECTION 2.16(d) has been satisfied or waived, (3) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and (4) neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates has any MNPI.

(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “ Discounted Prepayment Option Notice ”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “ Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount ”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans and the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of such Term Loans (the “ Discount Range ”) and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “ Acceptance Date ”).

(iii) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice in accordance with SECTION 2.16(d)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each Lender with Term Loans of the applicable Class may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each, a “ Lender Participation Notice ”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “ Acceptable Discount ”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a prepayment price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans of the applicable Class held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“ Offered Loans ”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans of the applicable Class specified by the Lenders in Lender Participation Notices, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall calculate the applicable discount for Term Loans (the “ Applicable Discount ”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to SECTION 2.16(d)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided , however , that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans under the applicable Class whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(iv) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“ Qualifying Lenders ”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“ Qualifying Loans ”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(v) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date, without premium or penalty (and without Breakage Costs), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (each a “ Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice ”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time, two Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to, but not including, such date on the amount prepaid.

(vi) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with SECTION 2.16(d)(iii) above) reasonably established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(vii) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice.

(viii) To the extent the Term Loans of any Class are prepaid pursuant to this SECTION 2.16(d), scheduled amortization amounts for the Term Loans of such Class under SECTION 2.04 shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid.

SECTION 2.17 Mandatory Prepayment . The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to prepayment as follows:

(a) If on any date any Loan Party shall have received Net Proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition (including pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction) of any Collateral (other than the sale of Collateral (other than Real Estate, Capital Stock and Intellectual Property) in the ordinary course of business and the transfer of any Collateral among Stores and other locations of the Loan Parties), to the extent that such Net Proceeds are not required to be applied to the payment of obligations of the Borrower or other borrowers under the ABL Facility, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) unless, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) the proceeds therefrom are (a) utilized for purposes of replacing or repairing the assets in respect of which such proceeds were received or reinvesting in assets used in any of the Loan Parties’ business within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such proceeds (or, in the case of any disposition of Real Estate the proceeds of which will be used to reinvest in Real Estate, within eighteen (18) months of receipt of such proceeds if

a letter of intent or other binding commitment to reinvest such proceeds is entered into within twelve (12) months of receipt of such proceeds) or (b) in the case of any disposition of Real Estate listed on Schedule 1.1(b) , reinvested in additional Real Estate within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such proceeds or within eighteen (18) months of receipt of such proceeds if a letter of intent or other binding commitment to reinvest such proceeds is entered into within twelve (12) months of receipt of such proceeds and (ii) the aggregate amount at any time of such reinvested proceeds (A) in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction, is equal to or less than $10,000,000 and (B) in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral (other than pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction and other than a disposition of Real Estate the proceeds of which will be used to reinvest in Real Estate) is equal to or less than $10,000,000; or

(b) If on any date any Loan Party shall have received Net Proceeds from any casualty or other insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation, expropriation or similar proceeding of, any Collateral of a Loan Party, to the extent that such Net Proceeds are not required to be applied to the payment of obligations of the Borrower or other borrowers under the ABL Facility, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) unless (i) the proceeds therefrom are required to be paid to the holder of a Lien on such property or asset having priority over the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or (ii) the proceeds therefrom are utilized for purposes of replacing or repairing the assets in respect of which such proceeds, awards or payments were received or reinvesting in assets used in any of the Loan Parties’ business within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such proceeds;

(c) If on any date any Loan Party shall have received Net Proceeds (i) from any Refinancing Term Loans or Indebtedness pursuant to clause (w)(i) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” or (ii) from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f); and

(d) If, for any Fiscal Year of the Borrower commencing with the Fiscal Year ending January 28, 2012, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date (as defined below), apply an amount, if positive, equal to the excess of (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.16 during such Fiscal Year toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) (it being understood that such payment for the Fiscal Year ending February 28, 2012 was made prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “ Excess Cash Flow Application Date ”) no later than five Business Days after the date on which financial statements of the Borrower have been delivered pursuant to SECTION 5.01(a).

(f) Any prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to SECTIONS 2.17(a) through (d) above shall be applied to repay Term Loans of each then outstanding Class, provided , that any prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.17(c) shall be applied to repay Term Loans of each Class with an earlier Maturity Date prior to being applied to repay any Term Loans of any other Class with a later Maturity Date (and, if two Classes of Term Loans have the same Maturity Date, shall be applied on a pro rata basis to such Classes). Any prepayment of any Class of Term Loans in accordance with the foregoing shall be applied first, to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of such Term Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.04 that are due within 24 months of such prepayment and thereafter to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis. Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of any Class shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans of such Class are prepaid. No prepayment of LIBO Loans of any Class shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.17 until the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrower reimburses the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. In order to avoid such Breakage Costs, as long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall hold all amounts required to be applied to LIBO Loans of a particular Class in a Cash Collateral Account and will apply such funds to the applicable LIBO Loans of such Class at the end of the then pending Interest Period therefor ( provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict the Agents’ rights upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default).

(g) The Borrower shall prepay all Non-Converted Term B Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agents, for their respective accounts, (i) the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when payment of such fees is due as therein set forth and (ii) such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agents.

(b) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent and other Credit Parties as provided herein. Once due, all fees shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except to the extent set forth in the Fee Letter).

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender on the Closing Date an upfront fee equal to 1.00% of the Term B Loan made by such Lender on the Closing Date (which fee may be netted by each Lender from the proceeds of its Term B Loan made to the Borrower); and

(d) In the event that, at any time on or prior to ~~the first anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date,~~ August 16, 2013, the Borrower makes any voluntary prepayment of all of the Term B-1 Loans with the proceeds of any term loan Indebtedness under any credit facility (other than pursuant to a Discounted Prepayment Offer or with the proceeds from any public offering or other issuance of BCF Holdings’ or the Parent’s Capital Stock), which term loan Indebtedness has a lower Yield than the Yield of the Term B-1 Loans, then, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Term B-1 Lender a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of such Lender’s Term B-1 Loans prepaid with the proceeds of such term loan Indebtedness.

SECTION 2.20 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account . The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (each, the “ Loan Account ”) which will reflect (i) all Term Loans of each Class made by the Lenders to the Borrower or for the Borrower’s account and (ii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable. The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or from other Persons for the Borrower’s account, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in and to the extent required by SECTIONS 2.17(f) or 7.03, as applicable.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, amounts payable under SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b) or 2.23, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff 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 at its Funding Office, except that payments pursuant to SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b), 2.23 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, except with respect to LIBO Borrowings, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, if any payment due with respect to LIBO Borrowings 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, unless that succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, in which event, the date of such payment shall be on the last Business Day of subject calendar month, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Except as specifically provided herein all funds received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTIONS 2.17(f) or 7.03 ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due to such respective parties.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct or remit any such Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or remittances for such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.23) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.23) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent not already paid by the Loan Parties pursuant to SECTION 2.23(a); provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided further , that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 for any penalties and interest incurred in any Fiscal Year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within six (6) months from the end of such Fiscal Year; provided further , that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then the beginning of such six month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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.

(e) Each Lender shall (x) prior to the date hereof in the case of each Lender that is a signatory hereto (or the date of Assignment and Acceptance in the case of a Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof) and (y) at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and

the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code (a “ Domestic Lender ”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(B) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit L-1 , or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form);

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or is a Participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit L-2 , L-3 or L-4 (as applicable), Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable ( provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit L-2 shall be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)); or

(E) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Each Lender shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Lender’s circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lender’s status or that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

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

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) copies of (i) either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming a treaty benefit) or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a (A) Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and (B) a certificate representing that such Foreign Lender (1) is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, (2) is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party and (3) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Loan Parties (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), in all cases, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming, as applicable, complete exemption from or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption for “portfolio interest” certifying that it is not a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “ New Lending Office ”). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 2.23(f), a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 2.23(f) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Foreign Lender in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above. Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall, at such Lender’s expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(h) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the circumstances of such Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.23(g); provided , however , that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.

(i) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.23, it shall pay over such refund within 30 days of its receipt thereof to the

Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or other relevant Loan Party under this Section 2.23 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.23 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(j) If a payment made to a Credit Party would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party fails 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 Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by FATCA and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Credit Party has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make LIBO Loans under SECTION 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided , however , that the Borrower shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make Term Loans under SECTION 2.11 for thirty (30) consecutive days, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, then the Borrower 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 , however , that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term 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 Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) 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 2.23, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

To induce the Credit Parties to enter into this Agreement and make the Term B Loans, the Loan Parties executing this Agreement or a Joinder hereto, jointly and severally, make the following representations and warranties to each Credit Party with respect to each Loan Party on the Closing Date, and in each case as of the date such representation and warranty is made unless an earlier date is specified:

The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan subject to ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of the most recent actuarial report prepared by such Plan’s actuaries) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11 Disclosure . None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information (other than any projections, pro formas, budgets and general market information) concerning the Loan Parties furnished by or on at the direction of any Loan Party to any Credit Party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contains, as of the date furnished, any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14 , as of the Closing Date no Loan Party is a party to or bound by any material collective bargaining agreement, bonus, restricted stock, stock option, or stock appreciation plan or agreement or any similar plan, agreement or arrangement. As of the Closing Date, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound to the extent that such would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15 Security Documents . The Security Documents create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security or mortgage interests in the Collateral (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and the Security Documents constitute, or will upon the filing of financing statements or other instruments within the time periods prescribed under Applicable Law and/or the obtaining of “control,” in each case with respect to the relevant Collateral as required under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation of any jurisdiction, to the extent security interests in such Collateral can be perfected by such filings or control, the creation of a fully perfected and enforceable first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties thereunder in such Collateral (to the extent required under the Security Documents), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances (x) having priority by operation of Applicable Law on all Term Priority Collateral, (y) in favor of the agent under the ABL Facility on any Revolver Priority Collateral or (z) Qualifying Secured Debt ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations.

(s) the imposition of any stay or other order, the effect of which restrains the conduct by the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, of their business in the ordinary course in a manner that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Loan Party described in SECTION 7.01(h) or SECTION 7.01(i)), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (a) require each of the following to become immediately due and payable, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly

waived by each Loan Party to the extent permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Term Loans and (ii) all other Obligations; and (b) subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, cause the Collateral Agent to enforce any and all Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of any Financial Performance Covenant for any Fiscal Quarter, from the first day of such Fiscal Quarter until the date that is ten days after the date the Compliance Certificate calculating such Financial Performance Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to SECTION 5.01(d), BCF Holdings and/or Parent shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the common capital of BCF Holdings and/or Parent, as the case may be, the proceeds of which BCF Holdings and/or Parent, as the case may be, will contribute in cash to the Borrower as common equity (collectively, the “ Cure Right ”); provided that at the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may elect to exercise such Cure Right prior to the date of the delivery of the Compliance Certificate if the Borrower reasonably determines that it will fail to comply with the requirements of any Financial Performance Covenant upon the delivery of such Compliance Certificate, and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “ Cure Amount ”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right such Financial Performance Covenants shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenants and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

(ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of all Financial Performance Covenants, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) in each four-Fiscal-Quarter period there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised and no more than four Cure Rights shall be exercised during the term of this Agreement, (b) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than 120% of the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenants and (c) the Cure Amount shall be set forth in each applicable Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to SECTION 5.01(d).

No remedy herein is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

SECTION 7.03 Application of Proceeds . After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all proceeds realized from any Loan Party or on account of any Collateral owned by a Loan Party or, without limiting the foregoing, on account of any Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow, any payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, shall be applied in the following order:

The provisions of this SECTION 8.08 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 8.09 Rights of Agents . It is understood and agreed that the Agents shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as their rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which they are or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Loan Parties, as though they were not the Agents.

If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and/or none shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the other Secured Parties, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a Person a commercial bank (or affiliate thereof) organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of a least $1,000,000,000, or capable of complying with all of the duties of such Agent hereunder (in the opinion of the retiring Agent and as certified to the other Secured Parties in writing by such successor Agent) which, so long as there is no Specified Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower (whose consent shall not in any event be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Agents furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Borrower hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Agents (collectively, the “Reports”) (and the Agents agree to furnish such Reports promptly to the Lenders, which Reports may be furnished in accordance with the final paragraph of SECTION 5.01);

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that no Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold each Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Term Loans that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Term Loan or Term Loans of the Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold each Agent and any such other Lender

preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender in violation of the terms hereof.

SECTION 8.14 Agency for Perfection . Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other Applicable Law of the United States of America can be perfected only by possession. Should any Secured Party (other than an Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Secured Party shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent, or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 8.15 Authority to Enter Into Intercreditor Agreements . The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are hereby authorized, without any further consent of any Lender (other than the consent of the Required Lenders provided in connection with this Agreement) to enter into any Pari Passu Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the holders of any Qualifying Secured Debt (or their agents) and to amend any Intercreditor Agreement in order to include the holders of such Qualifying Secured Debt appropriately therein.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims), or (ii) constituting property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by this Agreement. Except as provided above, the Collateral Agent will not release any of the Collateral Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of the Applicable Lenders.

(b) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Collateral described in SECTION 8.16(b); provided , however , that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under Applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by any Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

SECTION 8.17 Syndication Agent and Arrangers . Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Syndication Agent and the Arrangers shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.18 Withholding Taxes . To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction 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, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.14 and 2.23 and without limiting, expanding or otherwise affecting any obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses

incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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. The agreements in this Section 8.18 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

(i) Increase the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory prepayment hereunder shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(A) the prior written consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby, reduce the principal amount of any Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the waiver of the Default Rate), or reduce any fees payable under the Loan Documents;

(B) the prior written consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby, postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Obligation, or any interest thereon, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the Maturity Date (it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or constitute a reduction, waiver or excuse of any payment of principal or interest);

(C) the prior written consent of all Lenders, except for Permitted Dispositions or for Collateral releases as provided in SECTION 8.16, release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (it being understood that entering into any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or incurring any Qualifying Secured Debt shall not constitute a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents);

(iii) the prior written consent of all Lenders, change any of the provisions of this SECTION 9.02(b) or the definition of “ Required Lenders .”

(i) in the event that the Borrower shall request that this Agreement or any other Loan Document be modified, amended or waived in a manner which would require the consent of the Lenders pursuant to SECTION 9.02(b) and such amendment is approved by the Required Lenders, but not by the requisite percentage of the Lenders (other than the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to amend this Agreement without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Borrower (such Lender or Lenders, collectively the “ Minority Lenders ”), provided that, with respect to each such Minority Lender, the

Borrower shall, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and such Minority Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Minority Lender (and such Minority Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Term Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “ Replacement Lender ”) in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 9.04 and such Minority Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided further that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Minority Lender an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the Minority Lender; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Minority Lender pursuant to SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b) or 2.23 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment (and, if such Minority Lender is being removed in connection with an amendment that lowers the effective interest rates of the Term B-1 Loan or modifies Section 2.19(d) prior to ~~the one year anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date,~~ August 16, 2013, the Borrower shall also pay to such Minority Lender a fee equal to 1.00% of the Term B-1 Loan of such Minority Lender that is required to be so assigned); and (3) each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Minority Lender did not consent. In connection with any such replacement, if the Minority Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assigned and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonably by the Administrative Agent as of the date on which the Replacement Lender executes such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation, then such Minority Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such documentation on behalf of such Minority Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Minority Lender, such Minority Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided , any rights of such Minority Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Minority Lender;

(ii) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may without the input or consent of the Lenders, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of SECTION 2.05 or 2.06 or to effect any refinancing or replacement of the Term Loans with any Refinancing Term Loans, Qualifying Secured Debt or Qualifying Unsecured Debt.

(iv) guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (a) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (b) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (c) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(v) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified any obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(d) No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by a Lender, or any holder of a Note, shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note, whether or not a Note is so marked. No amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective against any Loan Party unless signed by such Loan Party.

(a) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally pay all Credit Party Expenses incurred as of the Closing Date on the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally pay all Credit Party Expenses within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail; provided that in the event the Loan Parties have a bona fide dispute with any such expenses, payment of such disputed amounts shall not be required until the earlier of the date such dispute is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Loan Parties or thirty (30) days after receipt of any such invoice (and any such disputed amount which is so paid shall be subject to a reservation of the Loan Parties’ rights with respect thereto).

(b) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of the respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agents and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (other than the Agents), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid 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 any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (v) any documentary taxes, assessments or similar charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided , however , that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent or such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnitee of such Indemnitee or (x) are relating to disputes among Indemnitees (other than the Agents and Arrangers in their capacities as such and other than conduct involving a Loan Party) or (y) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under this Agreement. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Loan Parties shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(c) No party to this Agreement shall assert and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph (c) shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations under SECTION 9.03(b) to any Indemnitee.

(d) The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this SECTION 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination 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 any

Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Credit Party. All amounts due under this SECTION 9.03 shall be payable within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor, which written demand shall set forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

(e) For purposes of the foregoing, “ Related Indemnitee ” of an Indemnitee means (i) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee involved in the negotiation and preparation of the Loan Documents, performing services under the Loan Documents or extending of credit or holding of credit hereunder and (ii) the respective directors, officers, partners, member, agents or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling person or controlled affiliates involved in the negotiation and preparation of the Loan Documents, performing services under the Loan Documents or extending of credit or holding of credit hereunder.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of (A) the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that if the Borrower does not respond to a request within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof, the Borrower will be deemed to have consented thereto), provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under clauses (a) or (b) of SECTION 7.01 or under clauses (h) or (i) (in each case with respect to the Borrower) of SECTION 7.01 has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans of any Class, the amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a) or (b) of SECTION 7.01 or under clauses (h) or (j) (in each case with respect to the Borrower) of SECTION 7.01 has occurred and is continuing,

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Loans,

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to SECTION 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective, provided , further , that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to two or more Approved Funds that are managed or advised by the same investment advisor,

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws and any tax forms required by SECTION 2.23(e),

(E) No assignment shall be made to any member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) except in accordance with clause (f) below and no member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) may assign any Term Loans except in compliance with the requirements of this clause (b) and the requirements of paragraph (f)(i)(x) and (f)(i)(y) below, and

(F) the Borrower shall, upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, provide such documentation to the Administrative Agent in connection with any assignment by a Lender to an assignee that bears a relationship to the Borrower under Section 108(e)(4) of the Code, so as to allow the Administrative Agent to determine whether the assigned portion of the Loan will have original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, if so, the amount of such original issue discount.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 2.14, 2.23, 2.24 and 9.03, subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections including documentation requirements in Section 2.23, and entitled to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount (and related interest amounts) 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 Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by SECTION 2.23(e) and 2.23(j) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section and any written consent to

such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance 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.

(vi) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”) other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than (i) Investment Funds and (ii) other than to a member of the Sponsor Group to the extent the terms of such participation comply with the requirements applicable to an assignment to a member of the Sponsor Group and for purposes of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (f) below, any Term Loans in which a member of the Sponsor Group holds a participating interest shall be subject to the 15% limitation set forth in paragraph (f)(i)(z) below and shall be treated as held directly by such member of the Sponsor Group for purposes of such paragraph; provided that (A) any Lender who sells a participation to a member of the Sponsor Group shall notify the Agent of the terms thereof and (B) no member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) shall sell a participation unless the conditions set forth in paragraph (f)(i)(x) below are satisfied) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of 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 Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to SECTION 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 2.14, 2.23 and 2.24 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall 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 this Agreement (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 Term Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Term 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, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.14 or Section 2.23 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 Borrower’s prior written consent or the right to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the participant becomes a Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.23 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with SECTION 2.23 as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “ SPV ”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loan to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(f) (i) Notwithstanding SECTION 9.04(b), any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to a member of the Sponsor Group (other than a natural person) in accordance with this SECTION 9.04(f) (and any member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall not assign any Term Loan pursuant to SECTION 9.04(b) above or acquire a participation in a Term Loan or sell a participation in its Term Loans unless the conditions set forth in subparagraph (x) and, solely in the case of an assignment, subparagraph (y) below are satisfied); provided that:

(x) except as previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, such member of the Sponsor Group represents and warrants as of the date of any assignment or participation to or from such member of the Sponsor Group pursuant to this SECTION 9.04, that no member of the Sponsor Group has any MNPI;

(y) the assigning Lender or the Lender to whom such assignment is being made, as the case may be, and the member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans or assigning Term Loans to such Lender, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “ Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance ”) in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance; and

(z) no Loan may be assigned to a member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) pursuant to this SECTION 9.04(f), if after giving effect to such assignment, the members of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) in the aggregate would own (or hold participations in) in excess of 15% of all Term Loans of any Class then outstanding.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall have any right to (a) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which

representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (b) receive any information or material prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to ARTICLE II), or (c) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in SECTION 9.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (a) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (b) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (c) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document all Loans held by any member of the Sponsor Group (other than an Investment Fund) shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions.

(iv) Additionally, if there is any assignment of any Loan pursuant to this SECTION 9.04(f), each Loan Party and each member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) that becomes a Lender hereunder hereby agree that if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall seek (and each such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) shall consent) to provide that the vote of any member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan Party shall not be counted except that any member of the Sponsor Group’s (other than any Investment Fund) vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower. Each member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) that becomes a Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Person’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund) and in the name of such member of the Sponsor Group (other than any Investment Fund), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.

SECTION 9.05 Survival . All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Term Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and, notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (ii) the principal of and interest on each Term Loan and all fees and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full. The provisions of SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.23, SECTION 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Agents, on behalf of themselves and the other Credit Parties, may require such indemnities as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all contemporaneous or previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in SECTION 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the applicable Credit Parties and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability . Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff . If any Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party, each Participant and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party, Participant or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties against any and all of the Obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other Loan Document to the extent such are then due and owing, although such Obligations may be otherwise fully secured; provided that such Secured Party shall provide the Borrower with written notice promptly after its exercise of such right of setoff. The rights of each Secured Party under this SECTION 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Credit Party may have. No Credit Party will, or will permit its Participant to, exercise its rights under this SECTION 9.08 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY ANY SECURED PARTY, PARTICIPANT OR AFFILIATE OF ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF UNDER THIS SECTION ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party to this Agreement hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against a Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party agrees that any action commenced by any Loan Party asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought solely in a court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY); AND WAIVES DUE DILIGENCE, DEMAND, PRESENTMENT AND PROTEST AND ANY NOTICES THEREOF AS WELL AS NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

The Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

SECTION 9.12 Headings . Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Term Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the “ Charges ”), shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order to exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “ Maximum Rate ”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Term Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Term Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Term Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Term Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

(a) The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or under Applicable Law, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations in full hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the

Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to the Borrower under any Loan Document), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document).

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full after the termination of Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Loan Party by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses that such Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate which means, among other things: (i) a Credit Party may collect from any Loan Party without first foreclosing on any Real Estate or personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party; (ii) if any Credit Party forecloses on any Real Estate pledged by any Loan Party, the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Real Estate is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Real Estate is worth more than the sale price; and (iii) the Credit Parties may collect Obligations from a Loan Party even if a Credit Party, by foreclosing on any such Real Estate, has destroyed any right any Loan Party may have to collect from the other Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

(e) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party, and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the Credit Parties shall have no duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition of any other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, even if such information

is adverse, and even if such information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, the Obligations of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Credit Parties to inform any Loan Party of any such information.

SECTION 9.15 Confidentiality . Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors involved with the financing (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (the Credit Parties’ agreeing to furnish the Borrower with notice of such process and an opportunity to contest such disclosure as long as furnishing such notice and opportunity would not result in the Credit Parties’ violation of Applicable Law), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as, or not less favorable to the Borrower than, those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any actual or prospective counterparty or advisors to any swap or derivative transactions relating to the Loan Parties and the Obligations so long as such Person or any of their Affiliates is not a competitor of any Loan Party, (g) with the consent of the Loan Parties, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or to the knowledge of such Credit Party, the breach of any other Person’s obligation to keep the information confidential, or (ii) becomes available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties, or (i) to the extent that such Information is independently developed by such Credit Party. For the purposes of this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates relating to their business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.16 Patriot Act . Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Act. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loans will be used by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

SECTION 9.17 Foreign Asset Control Regulations . Neither of the advance of the Term Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “ Trading With the Enemy Act ”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “ Foreign Assets Control Regulations ”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “ Executive Order ”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrower or its Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) knowingly engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

SECTION 9.18 Intercreditor Agreements . The Loan Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the Agents’ rights and remedies hereunder may be subject to, and

restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. Except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreements shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the Loan Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 9.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility . In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Arrangers, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of Loan Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any other Person and (B) neither any Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agents, the Arrangers and their respective Subsidiaries may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and neither any Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as a sealed instrument as of the day and year first above written.
