When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that with respect to any payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Term Loans, if such extension would cause any such payment to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

SECTION 1.08. Pro Forma Calculations . For purposes of determining whether any action is otherwise permitted to be taken hereunder, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio and Total Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated as follows:

(a) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) incurs, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness or (ii) issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which such ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of such ratio is made (a “ Ratio Calculation Date ”), then such ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

(b) For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business made (or committed to be made pursuant to a definitive agreement) during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the relevant Ratio Calculation Date, and other operational changes that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with such Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with GAAP assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations and other operational changes had occurred on the first day of the four-

-47-

quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then such ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

(c) For purposes of this Section 1.08 , whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from any acquisition, amalgamation, merger or operational change (including, to the extent applicable, from the Transactions); provided that such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable and otherwise comply with the limitations set forth in the definition of “EBITDA”.

(d) Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at the interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

ARTICLE II

The Term Loans

SECTION 2.01. Term Loan Commitments . Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Term Loans .

(a) Each Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Term Loan Commitments; provided , however , that the failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Term Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Term Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than the Minimum Threshold.

-48-

(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(e) , 2.08 and 2.15 , all Term Loans shall be made as ABR Term Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided , however , that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 11:00 a.m. and the Administrative Agent shall promptly wire transfer the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing at the time and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for ABR Term Loans. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and (x) the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease and (y) if the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Term Loan Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure . In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by irrevocable written notice (in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence) (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of any Eurodollar Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, not later than 12:30 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding Closing Date) and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such notice shall be in the form of a Borrowing Request and shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent by hand delivery or fax, and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a

-49-

Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods with respect thereto; provided , however , that notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02 . If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Term Loans .

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 .

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

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that the Term Loan made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions and deletions (each, a “ Note ”). In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and its permitted registered assigns. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a Note, the interests represented by such Note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04 ) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Administration Fees . The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents, for their own account, the administrative fees in the amounts and at the times as separately agreed by the Borrower and the Agents (collectively, the “ Administration Fees ”).

-50-

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Term Loans; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Percentage .

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 , the Term Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 , Term Loans comprising a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest, including interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07 , shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (other than computations of interest for ABR Term Loans, which shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 day, as applicable) and shall be calculated from and including the date of the relevant Borrowing to, but excluding, the date of repayment thereof. Interest on each Term Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Term Loan, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements (including, without limitation, the Section 5.04 Financials) of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Percentage for such period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest actually paid for such period. This Section 2.06(d) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.07 or under Article VII . The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.06(d) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 7.01 and the repayment of all other Obligations after an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 7.01 . Any additional interest under this Section 2.06(d) shall not be due and payable until demand is made for such payment pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.06(d) and accordingly, any nonpayment of such interest as result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no such amounts shall be subject to Section 2.07 ), at any time prior to the date that is five Business Days following such demand.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest . If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b) or (c)  shall have occurred and shall be continuing, by acceleration or otherwise, then, upon the request of the Required Lenders until the related defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal of a Term Loan, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00%  per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Term Loan plus 2.00%  per annum .

-51-

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest . In the event, and on each occasion, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that deposits in the principal amounts and denominations of the Term Loans comprising any Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such deposits are being offered in the London interbank market will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Term Loan during the applicable Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly after such circumstances no longer exist), each affected Eurodollar Term Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Term Loan, convert into an ABR Term Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Term Loans denominated in dollars or to convert ABR Term Loans into Eurodollar Term Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination of Term Loan Commitments . The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings . The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior written or fax notice (in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Request) to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 12:30 p.m., three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing and (ii) not later than 12:30 p.m., three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(a) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Term Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(b) if less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(c) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent recording, for the account of such Lender, the Type of such Term Loan resulting from such conversion and reducing the Term Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Term Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; and

-52-

(d) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16 .

Each Conversion/Continuation Request made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable (subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15 ) and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such Conversion/Continuation Request with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Borrowings .

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, on each Principal Payment Date occurring prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, a principal amount of the Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13(e) ) equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment .

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax Prepayment Notice by the Borrower in the case of Eurodollar Term Loans, or written or fax Prepayment Notice by the Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:30 p.m.; provided , however , that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the Minimum Threshold.

(b) Optional prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans under Section 2.11 in the manner specified by the Borrower or, if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in direct order of maturity. Optional prepayments of Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans shall be applied ratably among the outstanding Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans.

-53-

(c) Each Prepayment Notice shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.

(d) In the event that all or any portion of the Term Loans are repaid, prepaid (which shall be deemed for these purposes to include any assignments pursuant to Section 2.21(a) ), replaced, repriced or effectively refinanced through (i) the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than pursuant to Section 2.13 (other than Sections 2.13(c) or (d) ) or following acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Article VII ) or (ii) any waiver, consent or amendment (including, without limitation, any Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment) the result of which would be the lowering of the effective interest cost or the weighted average yield of any of the Term Loans, in each case on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayment, prepayment, replacement, repricing or refinancing shall be made at 101% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced. Such applicable amount shall be due and payable on the date of such repayment, prepayment, replacement, repricing or effective refinancing (whether or not an Event of Default is occurring) and shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any applicable amendment contemplated by, or transaction pursuant to, Sections 2.21(a) , 2.23 or 2.24 .

(e) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) and Section 2.16 , but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments .

(a) Not later than the tenth Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Asset Sale or Property Loss Event, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect thereto, to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) ; provided , however , that, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to (i) 50% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00 but greater than 5.00 to 1.00 and (ii) 0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00, in each case, determined by reference to the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; and provided , further , that if (A) prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any Related Business Assets) and (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such proposed reinvestment, and no Event of Default under clause (b) , (c) , (g)  or (h)  of Section 7.01 (each, a “ Specified Default ”) shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of proposed reinvestment (unless, in the case of such Specified Default, such reinvestment is made pursuant to a binding commitment entered into at a time when no Specified Default was continuing), then the Borrower shall not be required to prepay Term Loans hereunder in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested within 365 days after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if within such 365 day period, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest in such Net Cash Proceeds, and such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after such binding commitment is so entered into); provided , however , that (I) if any Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested or applied as a repayment on or prior to the last day of the applicable reinvestment or repayment period, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five

-54-

Business Days to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth above (without regard to the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if, as a result of any Prepayment Asset Sale or Property Loss Event, the Borrower would be required to prepay or make an “offer to purchase” the Senior Notes or the Senior Secured Notes (pursuant to the terms of the Senior Notes Documentation or the Senior Secured Notes Documentation, as the case may be) or any other Material Indebtedness, in any such case prior to the expiry of the foregoing reinvestment or repayment periods, the Borrower shall apply the relevant percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds as required above by this paragraph (a) to prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) on the day immediately preceding the date of such required “offer to purchase” (without regard to the immediately preceding proviso).

(b) No later than the tenth Business Day following the delivery of the Section 5.04 Financials under Section 5.04(a) (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.12 and “Revolving Loans” (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the “Revolving Credit Commitments” (each as defined under the Revolving Credit Agreement)) during such fiscal year or on or prior to the date such payment is required to be made (without duplication), in each case to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness).

(c) Subject to Section 2.12(d) , in the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 ), the Borrower shall no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) .

(d) Subject to Section 2.12(d) , in the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of Senior Secured Notes, the Borrower shall immediately apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) .

(e) Prior to the repayment in full of all Term Loans and all Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which a claims has not been made) relating thereto, (i) all prepayments required by this Section 2.13 shall be applied to the repayment of the Term Loans until paid in full (applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans in the direct order of maturity); provided that, to the extent an Event of Default then exists, such prepayment shall instead be applied in accordance with Section 2.17(b) .

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement including in Section 9.08 , the Borrower shall have the option in its sole discretion to give the Lenders the option to waive their pro rata share of a mandatory prepayment of Term Loans which is otherwise required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) , (b)  or (c)  (each such mandatory prepayment, a “ Waivable Mandatory Prepayment ”) upon the terms and provisions set forth in this Section 2.13(f) . If the Borrower elects to exercise the option referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice of its intention to give the Lenders the right to waive a Waivable Mandatory Prepayment including in such Prepayment Notice the aggregate amount of such proposed prepayment not later than 12:30 p.m. five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed prepayment which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to all Lenders indicating in such notice the amount of such prepayment to be applied to each such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans.

-55-

The Borrower’s offer to permit the Lenders to waive any such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment may apply to all or part of such prepayment, provided that any offer to waive part of such prepayment must be made ratably to the Lenders (based on the principal amount of the Term Loans on the date of prepayment). In the event that any such Lender desires to waive its pro rata share of such Lender’s right to receive any such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment in whole or in part such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent no later than 4:00 p.m. on the date which is two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower thereof which notice shall also include the amount such Lender desires to receive in respect of such prepayment. If any Lender does not reply to the Administrative Agent within such two Business Day period such Lender will be deemed not to have waived any part of such prepayment. If any Lender does not specify an amount it wishes to receive such Lender will be deemed to have accepted 100% of its share of such prepayment. In the event that any such Lender waives all or part of its share of any such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment the Borrower shall retain 100% of the amount so waived by such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one or more Lenders waives its right to receive all or any part of any Waivable Mandatory Prepayment but less than all the Lenders waive in full their right to receive 100% of the total Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise required with respect to the Term Loans, then the amount actually applied to the repayment of Term Loans of Lenders which have waived all or any part of their right to receive 100% of such prepayment shall be applied to each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans on a pro rata basis so that each Lender with outstanding Term Loans shall, after giving effect to the application of the respective repayment, maintain the same percentage as determined for such Lender but not the same percentage that the other Lenders hold and not the same percentage held by such Lender prior to prepayment of each Borrowing of Term Loans which remains outstanding after giving effect to such application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lenders shall not have the right to waive mandatory prepayments under this Section 2.13 except as set forth in this Section 2.13(f) .

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances .

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall 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 (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Term Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Term Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made or participations in Term Loans purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

-56-

(c) If any Change in Law shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes for which an indemnity is provided in Section 2.20 , (B) Taxes described in clauses (c)  and (d)  of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender 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.

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b)  above shall be delivered to the Borrower, shall describe the applicable Change in Law, the resulting costs incurred or reduction suffered (including a calculation thereof), certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b)  above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request; provided further , that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed; provided that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 , any Change in Law in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to the relevant Lender, then such Lender shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality .

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Term Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Term Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Term Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Term Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Term Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Term Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Term Loan into an ABR Term Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

-57-

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Term Loans made by such Lender shall be converted to ABR Term Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Term Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Term Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii)  above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Term Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Term Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Term Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Term Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15 , a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Term Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Term Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. Such Lender shall withdraw such notice promptly following any date on which it becomes lawful for such Lender to make and maintain Eurodollar Term Loans or give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan.

SECTION 2.16. Breakage . The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Term Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Term Loan to an ABR Term Loan or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Term Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Term Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10 ) not being made after notice of such Term Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder other than by operation of Section 2.08 (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “ Breakage Event ”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Term Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Term Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period (exclusive of any loss of anticipated profits). For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.16 , each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Term Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (excluding the impact of the last sentence of the “Adjusted LIBO Rate” definition) for such Term Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Adjusted LIBO Rate Term Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-58-

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment; Intercreditor Agreements .

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 and as required under Section 2.13 , 2.14 , 2.15 , 2.16 , 2.20 or 2.21 , each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Term Loans and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Term Loan Commitments (or, if such Term Loan Commitments shall have terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Term Loans). In addition, in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default or during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations): (i)  first , to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such; (ii)  second , to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, including attorney fees (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause s econd payable to them); (iii)  third , to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Term Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause third payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings; (iv)  fourth , to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Term Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fourth held by them); and (v)  last , in the case of proceeds of collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.17 (including the priority of the Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including pursuant to Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.17 , such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this Section 2.17 .

-59-

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs . Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under the

Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any applicable Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Term Loan as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Term Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Term Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Term Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans and participations in Term Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Term Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided , however , that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Term Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Term Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments . The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Administration Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due in dollars in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Barclays Capital, 1301 Ave of the Americas, New York, NY 10019, Attn: Sookie Siew, Fax: (917) 522-0569, Email: sookie.siew@barclays.com and Xrausloanops5@barclays.com, Tel: (212) 320-7205. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.20. Taxes .

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party 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 , that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20 ) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

-60-

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party 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) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes (but not Other Taxes) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section, any such Indemnified Taxes in respect of which a payment was made are thereafter determined to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed, then the relevant recipient of such payment shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Indemnified Taxes; provided , further , that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of its intention to claim compensation therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a 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 Foreign Lender shall (a) furnish to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date it becomes a party to the Agreement either (i) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), (ii) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or (iii) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments, certifying, in any case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder and (b) provide to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments upon (i) the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder, (ii) the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and (iii) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that any Foreign Lender that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit F together with a Form W-8BEN. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. Barclays, as the Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent that is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a United States person with respect to

-61-

such payments as contemplated by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A)). If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender that is a United States Person, or the Administrative Agent if it is a United States Person, in either case as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall (unless such Lender or Administrative Agent may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)(A)(1)) deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the times specified in Section 2.20(e) , two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor form that such Person is entitled to provide at such time, in order to qualify for an exemption from United States back-up withholding requirements.

(g) In the event that the Borrower is resident in or conducts business in Puerto Rico, each Lender that is not a resident of Puerto Rico for Puerto Rican Tax purposes shall file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower and, when prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower, update or renew any such certificate or document, pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, if such filing (i) would eliminate or reduce the amount of withholding Taxes imposed by Puerto Rico with respect to any payment hereunder and (ii) would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, result in a legal, economic or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20 , it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20(h) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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 and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Administrative Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Documents.

(x) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign, at par, 100% of the principal amount of its outstanding Term Loans, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Loans pursuant to Section 9.04 (with the assignment fee to be waived in such instance) and all of its rights and obligations as a Lender under this Agreement in respect of the Term Loans to one or more Persons (which Persons shall otherwise be subject to the approval rights set forth in Section 9.04(b) ); provided that (I)(A) the replacement Lender shall agree (and shall by its acceptance of such assignment be deemed to have agreed) to the consent, waiver or amendment to which the Non-Consenting Lender did not agree, (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person and (C) 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 2.20 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (II) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender all Obligations (other than (i) contingent obligations for which a claim has not been made, (ii) principal paid by the assignee and (iii) accrued interest, which shall be paid by Borrower when due and allocated by the Administrative Agent to the assignor and assignee in accordance with their respective periods of ownership of the applicable Term Loans assigned) in respect of the Term Loans owing to such Lender as of the date of such assignment (which shall include, if then applicable, the call premium referred to in Section 2.12(d) (with such assignment being deemed to be a voluntary prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of Sections 2.12(a) , (c)  and (d) )); or

(y) repay all Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which a claim has not been made) in respect of the Term Loans owing to such Lender as of such termination date.

Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in respect of the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21 .

(b) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative

-63-

Agent hereunder; second , as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement; fourth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (ii) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Term Loan Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 , (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be material) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20 , as the case may be, in the future.

SECTION 2.22. Incremental Term Loans .

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “ Incremental Term Loans ”); provided that both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default shall exist. Each Incremental Term Loan shall be

-64-

in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (or such lower amount that either (A) represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (B) is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed an amount equal to (x) $500,000,000 plus (y) the maximum amount at the time of such proposed Incremental Term Loans that could be incurred such that both immediately before and after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Term Loans and the application of the proceeds thereof (and assuming such Incremental Term Loans are fully drawn), the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (calculated treating the cash proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans as Restricted Cash) does not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 as of the last date for which Section 5.04 Financials have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the then existing Term Loans and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (iii) shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the then existing Term Loans, (iv) the amortization schedule and Applicable Percentages for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided , that (x) if the All-in Yield on any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the initial All-in Yield for the Term Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “ Yield Differential ”), then the Applicable Percentage for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of such Incremental Term Loans, and (v) may have terms and conditions different from those of the then existing Term Loans (except as provided in clause (i) through (iv)  above); provided that any such differences pursuant to this clause (v) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loan. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender or by any Additional Lender (and each existing Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan up to an amount equal to its pro rata share of the then existing Term Loans (a “ Participation Portion ”), on terms permitted in this Section 2.22 ; provided that to the extent that any existing Lender does not offer to lend its full Participation Portion (any such remaining Incremental Term Loans, “ Remaining Incremental Term Loans ”), any existing Lender that does offer to lend its full Participation Portion (a “ Participating Lender ”) will have the right, but not the obligation, to make all or any portion of the entire Remaining Incremental Term Loans, and if the Participating Lenders, in the aggregate have elected, pursuant to this proviso, to make Incremental Term Loans in excess of the Remaining Incremental Term Loans, then the Remaining Incremental Term Loans shall be allocated among such Lenders pro rata based on the amount of Remaining Incremental Term Loans such Lender was willing to make; provided , further , that any existing Lender may assign its right to make Incremental Term Loans to an Affiliate of such existing Lender); provided that the relevant Persons under Section 9.04(b) shall have consented (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans, if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Term Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(b) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “ Incremental Amendment ”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Term Loan Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22 . The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “ Incremental Facility Closing Date ”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar

-65-

language in such Section 4.01 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loan unless it so agrees in its sole discretion.

(c) The Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Term Loans or any such new Term Loan Commitments.

(d) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.18 or 9.08 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.23. Amend and Extend.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “ Extension ”) of the Term Loan Maturity Date of any Borrowing to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall set forth (1) the amount of the applicable Borrowing of Term Loans to be extended (which shall not be less than the Minimum Threshold) and (2) the date on which such Extension are requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten Business Days nor more than sixty days after the date of such Extension Request (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)) and (iii) identifying the relevant Borrowing or Borrowings of Term Loans to which the Extension Request relates. Each Lender of the applicable Borrowing shall be offered (an “ Extension Offer ”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Borrowing pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent. If the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of Lenders of the applicable Borrowing shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (2) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Extension, and (3) the terms of such Extended Term Loans shall comply with Section 2.23(c) .

(c) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lender and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (1) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (2) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (3) the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the Term Loans and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (4) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts and premiums applicable to any Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the

-66-

Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans and (5) to the extent the terms of the Extended Term Loans are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clause (i) through (iv)  above), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension Offer, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Term Loans as a new Borrowing or tranche of Term Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Borrowing or tranche (including, if desirable, to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Borrowings or tranches), in each case on terms not inconsistent with this Section 2.23 ).

(e) This Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.18 or 9.08 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.24. Refinancing Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Replacement Term Loans to refinance all or a portion of any existing Borrowing of Term Loans (the “ Refinanced Term Loans ”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Term Loans plus any accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any original issue discount or upfront fees). Such notice shall set forth (i) the principal amount of the applicable Replacement Term Loans (which shall not be less than the Minimum Threshold) and (ii) the date on which the applicable Replacement Term Loans are to be incurred (which shall not be less than ten Business Days nor more than sixty days after the date of such notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)). The Borrower may seek Replacement Term Loans from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) or any Additional Lender.

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the incurrence of any Replacement Term Loans that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date such Replacement Term Loans are made, (iii) the terms of the Replacement Term Loans shall comply with Section 2.24(c) and (iv) substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any such Replacement Term Loans, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied to repay the Refinanced Term Loans (including accrued interest, fees and premiums (if any) payable in connection therewith).

(c) The terms of any Replacement Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders or Additional Lenders and set forth in a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus any accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any original issue discount or upfront fees), (ii) the final maturity date of any Replacement

-67-

Term Loans shall not be earlier than the maturity or termination date of the applicable Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Replacement Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans (without giving effect to annual amortization on any Refinanced Term Loans not in excess of 1% of the principal amount thereof), (iv) the Replacement Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (v) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premiums applicable to the Replacement Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders or Additional Lenders, provided that the All-in Yield on any Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the initial All-in Yield for the Refinanced Term Loans, and (vi) the terms of the Replacement Term Loans (other than as set forth in clause (i) through (v)  above) shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders or Additional Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period occurring entirely after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

(d) In connection with any Replacement Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.24 , the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender or Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Refinancing Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Replacement Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24 , including any amendments necessary to establish the applicable Replacement Term Loans as a new Borrowing or tranche of Term Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Borrowings or tranches (including, if desirable, to preserve the pro rata treatment of the refinanced and non-refinanced tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.24 .

(k) any material provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery, shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms or in accordance with the terms of the other Loan Documents), or any Loan Party contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any material provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has any or further liability thereunder (other than as a result of the discharge of such Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “ Agents ”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases and intercreditor agreements) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

-109-

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

No Agent or any of their Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall: (i) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose any Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the relevant Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 ) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until such Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower or a Lender referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent, or (vii) the compliance by any Fund Affiliates with the terms of Section 9.04(m) .

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any making of any Term Loan or any conversion or continuation of any Borrowing pursuant

-110-

to Section 2.10 that by its terms shall be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice to the contrary from such Lender. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.02 , each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying in writing the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under paragraphs (g)(i) or (h)  of Article VII ), to appoint a successor (other than a Disqualified Institution) which shall be a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of resignation (the “ Resignation Effective Date ”) of the relevant Agent specified by such Agent in its notice, the resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the successor agent by the date which is 60 days following the Resignation Effective Date, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except in the case of the Collateral Agent holding collateral security on behalf of any Secured Parties, the resigning Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed).

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the obligations under Section 5.09 are

-111-

satisfied, the successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above) other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

None of Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “bookrunner,” “documentation agent” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any Agent’s Related Parties, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise;

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Obligations and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and each Agent or (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and each Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due such Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.05 and 9.05 ) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

-112-

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.05 .

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

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement) and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in clause (i) above, of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, in the case of clauses (i)  and (ii) , if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V , including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (1) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a notice pursuant to Section 2.10 , (2) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (3) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (4) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such nonexcluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “ Communications ”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

-116-

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided , however , that (i) each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent shall be required to any such assignment made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender (in each case, other than to Disqualified Institutions) and the consent of the Borrower shall (x) not be required (1) during the continuance of any Specified Default or (2) with respect to any such assignment that is being made by Barclays (as the initial Lender hereunder) to an Eligible Assignee previously approved by the Borrower, within the 60 day period commencing on the Closing Date, as part of the “primary syndication” of the Term Loans, and (y) be deemed to have been given to any assignment unless the Borrower shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof, (ii) (A) in the case of any assignment, other than assignments to an existing Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund, the amount of the Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans) and shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans), provided , however , that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, and (B) in the case of any assignment to any existing Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund, after giving effect to such assignment, Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans of the assigning Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds shall be zero or not less than $1,000,000, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (such Assignment and Acceptance to be (A) electronically executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent via an electronic settlement system then acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and (B) delivered together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and the tax forms required under Section 2.20(e) , (f)  or (g) , as applicable. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04 , from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) 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 (B) 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 or the remaining portion of an 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 , 2.16 , 2.20 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, as well as to any Administration Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid); provided , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to

-117-

the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Any assignment or transfer that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (g) of this Section 9.04 .

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment, and the outstanding principal amount of its Term Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 any changes thereto, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), whether by assignment or otherwise, and the Term Loan Commitment of, and principal amount of the Term Loans (and related interest amount and fees with respect to such Term Loan) owing and paid 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may

-118-

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 (but only, in the case of a Lender, with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Term Loans, Term Loan Commitments and other Obligations) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to such assignment (in each case to the extent required pursuant to paragraph (b) above) and any applicable tax forms required by Section 2.20(e) , (f)  or (g) , as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e) and (iii) if requested by an assignee, provide to such assignee the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of such date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance in connection therewith.

(g) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to Disqualified Institutions, any natural Person or Holdings or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loans owing to it); provided , that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14 , 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant and in the case of Section 2.20 , only if such participant shall have provided any form of information that it would have been required to provide under such Section if it were a Lender), (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, so long as such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Term Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers described in clauses (i) , (ii)  and (iii)  of Section 9.08(b) as it pertains to the Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments in which such participant has an interest). Each Lender selling a participation to a participant (i) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), of each such participation, specifying such participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation, (ii) shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the applicable forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.20(e) or (f)  hereof, as applicable, as if such participant was a Lender hereunder and (iii) if requested by a participant, provide to such participant the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of such date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the requirements set forth therein.

-119-

(h) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04 , disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any non-public information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such non-public information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16 .

(i) 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 extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that (i) such assignment shall not increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (ii) no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “ SPC ”), 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 SPC to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPC 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 SPC hereunder shall utilize the Term Loan 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 (x) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, (y) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (z) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender of record hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04 , any SPC may (A) 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 Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(k) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder (other than in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04 ) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(l) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments hereunder with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Term Loans or reducing or terminating the Term Loan Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.08(d) ). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Term

-120-

Loans and Term Loan Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Term Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Term Loan Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 . By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(m) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis to a Fund Affiliate through open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) each Fund Affiliate shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such assignment, that neither it nor any of its respective directors or officers has any MNPI that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive MNPI) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to such Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to such Fund Affiliate;

(ii) Non-Debt Fund Affiliates will not have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, except to the extent made available to the Borrower, and will not be permitted to attend or participate in (or to receive notifications of) meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (it being understood and agreed that notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of the Term Loans of Non-Debt Fund Affiliates required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II shall be delivered directly to such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate);

(iii) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 9.08 ) or any plan of reorganization pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not disproportionately adversely affect Non-Debt Fund Affiliates in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Non-Debt Fund Affiliates voting on such matter; and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to such Debtor Relief Laws is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws);

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Fund Affiliates may not exceed 20% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans; and

(v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

-121-

Each Fund Affiliate that is a Lender hereunder agrees to comply with the terms of this Section 9.04(m) (notwithstanding that it may be granted access to the Platform or any other electronic site established for the Lenders by the Administrative Agent).

(n) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Borrower on a non-pro rata basis ( provided , however , that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan and any related Term Loan Commitments) pursuant to one or more modified Dutch auctions ( provided that, (A) notice of each such auction shall be made to all Lenders and (B) each such auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures which are consistent with this Section 9.04 and otherwise as the auction manager (which auction manager shall be the Administrative Agent in such other capacity or any other financial institution or advisor agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to act as an arranger in connection with any such auction) may establish and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such auction manager) open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis, subject to the following limitations:

(i) the Borrower shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such assignment, that neither it nor any of its respective directors or officers has any MNPI that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than because such Lenders do not wish to receive MNPI) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to such Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to the Borrower;

(ii) immediately upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term Loans from a Lender to the Borrower, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment;

(iii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any loans under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund any such assignment; and

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity .

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, as to legal fees and expenses, to those of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel for the Agents and Arrangers taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in each material jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where any of the Agents or Arrangers affected by such conflict retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected party and any similarly situated parties taken as a whole)) incurred by the Agents and Arrangers, in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility and the preparation, negotiation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) and (ii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, as to legal fees and expenses, to one counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in each material jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or

-122-

perceived conflict of interest where any of the Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders affected by such conflict retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected party and any similarly situated parties taken as a whole)) incurred by the Agents, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights or remedies in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each of the foregoing Persons’ Affiliates and their respective Related Parties and their respective successors and assigns (each such Person being called an “ Indemnitee ”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and one local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each material jurisdiction; provided that if (i) one or more Indemnitees shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to one or more other Indemnitees or (ii) the representation of the Indemnitees (or any portion thereof) by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then such expenses shall include the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one separate counsel to such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction), and liabilities of such Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with (w) the execution and/or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Term Loan Facility), (x) the use of the proceeds of the Term Loans, (y) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or equityholders), or (z) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or their respective subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such costs, expenses or liabilities (x) resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee’s Affiliates) (each, a “ related party ” of such Indemnitee) or material breach of its (or any of its related parties’) obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) or (y) relate to the presence or Release of Hazardous Materials that first occur at any property owned by Holdings or the Borrower after such property is transferred to any Indemnitee, any of its related parties or any of their respective successors or assigns by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer. The Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for fees and expenses unless such Indemnitee provides the Borrower with an undertaking in which such Indemnitee agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee to the extent any of the foregoing items in clauses (x) and (y)  occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.20 .

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnitee related thereto under paragraph (a) or (b)  of this Section 9.05 (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Arrangers, such Indemnitee and the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Arrangers, the Agents or such Indemnitee in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Loan Commitments at the time.

-123-

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim from (i) the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such party of any of its Affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such party and such party’s Affiliates and (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Term Loans, the expiration of the Term Loan Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff; Payments Set Aside .

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its subsidiaries) to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(b) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its

-124-

discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then (i) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law . THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment .

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.
